I think the problem is the way we think of Tempt. I believe it is more like a test. A test only shows what is already there. What was the true nature of Jesus?
When I was a welder, there was a suite of tests that a weld would under go. If a weld failed in some applications it could be disasterous. The tests only showed the true nature and integrity, of the weld. You could not see the fault in a weld, it was on the inside. Sin comes from inside of us, sometimes we even have an inner struggle with sin. Jesus was repulsed by sin because he was always God & God is repulsed by sin. His testing revealed his true nature. For him to even look at a woman in that certain way would be enough to be counted as sin.
It all comes down to how you view Christ was he Impecable or not. All the cults see him as pecable, since he had to struggle & work out his salvation. Just like they must struggle and attempt to impress a Holy God

Yes, I've been thinking about that since I first responded last
night. You're correct; lust is sin, therefore Jesus did not lust. He,
like us, was tempted to lust (for a woman, food, drink, whatever), but He
did not give in to that temptation, therefore he did not lust nor did He
sin.

That one is a problem cause if he saw a woman and lusted, it would be
sin.

I dunno. Perhaps the lust is the temptation?

No, He was tempted to lust, but He did not lust, because giving in
to the temptation to lust is sin, but He did not sin.
