Did Jesus have sexual desires?

[Y'hoshua]

It might come as a shock, but he got hungry, thirsty, tired.... I'm betting he even sweat and "had to go bathroom".

That's a big argument of Jewish anti-missionaries.

The "argument" is usually derisively framed: "Our God is gloriously exalted in the heavens. Your 'god' messed his diapers"

[Darfius]

What in the world does that have to do with the title question

Do you speaka the English? Waste someone else's time with feigned ignorance. If you don't like the conclusions which my questions infer, then either show them to be false or change what you like. Supressing a known truth is for pagans, not Christians.

Read your original question backwards. Was about to go to bed when I last replied. Maybe don't jump down my throat next time.

so you are intimating that if Jesus felt sexual desires he was a pedophile? Really?

A pedophile feels sexual desire towards unconsenting children, so no. I am saying it would be more similar to a father feeling sexual desire towards his adult daughter. Jesus even referred to a woman at least as old as Him as "Daughter", so it may be time to trade in your unwarranted incredulity for some reasoned interpreting of God's word and some good old-fashioned discernment.

so not a pedophile but an incestuous father.

[Leonhard]

While I think it was possible that Our Lord had sexual desires, I happen to think that his body was so completely in submission to His will, that He could will those desires to go away and not be bothered by them.

[Sparko]

Sexual temptation is one of the most common and basic male temptations - and females too. If Jesus truly was tempted the way humans are, then yes, he had sexual desires/temptations, but he did not sin. He did not look at women with lust.

If he ever felt sexual desire, then correct. Good thing He never felt sexual desire.

While you are doublespeaking, please explain how a man can feel sexual desire without lusting. Was it a particularly well carved chair that turned Him on?

[Darfius]

By the way, the argument that Jesus had to experience the gamut of temptations in all human experience to be "tempted as we are" would necessarily mean that the thought of sacrificing children on an altar to Baal once entered His mind as something attractive but He "quickly perished the thought." Stop trying to bring the Lord down to your level and try harder to get to where He is.

Having sexual desires occur whether you are looking at a woman or not. Or are you a eunuch and don't understand what sexual desires are? They are feelings and desires, not fantasies and lusting after someone.

you are tripping. Nobody said he had to experience every temptation, but sexual desire is a basic human desire. It happens. Like getting hungry. It is so common that if Jesus did not feel the temptation then he wasn't human and the verse quoted is a lie.

edited to add:
God gave us sexual desires. Without them we would not even seek out a mate. The problem is when we misuse our desires and they turn into fantasies and lusts, or even into actions like watching porn, or going to strip clubs, or objectifying women.
