Evangelical Gospel
The unfallen nature of Christ – This is the belief that the humanity Christ took upon Himself was the sinless nature of Adam as it was before the Fall.
Biblical Gospel
“It would have been an almost infinite humiliation for the Son of God to take man’s nature, even when Adam stood in his innocence in Eden. But Jesus accepted humanity when the race had been weakened by four thousand years of sin. Like every child of Adam He accepted the results of the working of the great law of heredity. What these results were is shown in the history of His earthly ancestors. He came with such a heredity, to share our sorrows and temptations, and to give us the example of a sinless life.”
The Desire of Ages, p. 49 E.G.W.
For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
Hebrews 2:16,17
Christ did not exempt Himself from our inherited human nature, as it was imperative that He be tempted as we are, from within as well as from outside His humanity.
