If Jesus was without sin, does that mean he was created without a sex drive?

If he'd had a sex drive, he would have lusted. Maybe only for a second before he stopped it, but it would have occurred, and he would no longer be sinless.

And if Jesus would have had to have been created differently from all other humans so he could avoid sin, isn't God creating humans in a way that ensures they *must* sin?

    A few issues with your idea here.

    1. Jesus was not "created". He is God incarnate, uncreated. As God, He is a master of all natural drives because He is the Creator, not the creature.

    2. The Author of all things can surely handle a simple thing like a natural drive. He made the universe, after all.

    3. The immediate instance of lust does not count as sin. If you were to entertain that lust and allow it to fester into a fantasy, then you have sinned. However, just because a nice piece of booty walks by and you have a natural reaction to it, you have not yet sinned. In theology, this is called the "occasion of sin", meaning that it gives you the chance to sin. It is up to you to avoid the occasion of sin as much as possible and to resist allowing it to rule you when you can't avoid it. Refer to the Act of Contrition to see this language in use.

    A normal decent man, would not lust after a child, even if the man had a sex drive. This is natural for men.

    For Jesus, He probably DID have a sex drive, being human and male, but LIKE the feeling for children is NOT present in normal males, Jesus probably did NOT have feelings of lust either, for females nor males.

    He was just one that was different, being who He was.

    I don't know if you got the meaning of what I said. There ARE people in the world today, who become monks and nuns, and do not lust after others. THAT is their nature.

    Some men lust after females, some women after males, some people lust after the opposite sex and some just don't lust at all.

    Jesus was one of those that did NOT at all.

    No. The sex drive isn't sinful. Sexual acts outside of marriage between a man and a woman is what is sinful.

    Christ is God and God never sins because He is perfect.

    God created humans and angels in a way that they can prove true love. True love is never forced or created, but is proven by good deeds. Programing angelic and human entities to love or perform virtuous activity would violate the existence of true love.

    The 7 deadly sins didn't come from the Bible, so your question makes no sense.

    Jesus is getting married, after all this is over.

    You proved it through through your logical comment.

    Jesus was not created. That's how He did it.

    Rather silly assumption. Are you seriously saying that every time you see a good looking man you have lustful thoughts about him? That must make it tough for you to have an intelligent conversation.

    Actually that is an assumption made by the church. There are writings which depict Jesus as an unrully child and comitting acts that are considered sinful.
