Full Question:
Did Jesus Christ have sexual feelings? I'm not intending to offend anyone. Its a genuine question.He was the 'image of the father',but he came down in the human form. so how does it work? does he still have the human passions ?
I don't even want to get into the Mary Magdalene debate. by what we know or rather by what the 'believers' know of Christ. Is there any indication that he had sexual feelings like any other man? I'm an atheist.I'm not even sure Christ existed... but yeah... wanna know your opinion on this. Don't report me for Christ's sake.I really wanna know... thanks!
Answer:
First of all I like everyone to understand that Jesus Christ has a human body, emotions, mind, and will, while He lived in this world. He is purely God, but he came into this world just as a human like others. If we study we can understand that one purpose for which Jesus came into this world is to show the people of this world that it is possible to live in this world, with sinners and without sin. It is so easy or we all know very well that God is without sin. In that case, sin is not able to touch Jesus, but such a life will not become a model for all. So he was created in this world with each and every quality of first human, Adam.
Bible don't say that Jesus suffered any sexual feelings, but we have to understand it through other incidents. Bible says with all the qualities of an exact human, Jesus Christ lived in this world, walking and eating with sinners and without doing any sin. Jesus don't have any super powers and He lived in this world just like a normal man without performing anything supernaturals or so even while he is God in his real form. Performing miracles, healing sicks and raising dead are not a part of any supernatural powers, He just showed that it is possible to do anything by those who obeys and believes in God.
On coming to the point, we can see Jesus tempted by the Satan. Satan was trying to make Jesus fall into temptations to commit any sins, by tempting him. By this we can understand the truth that, Jesus did not merely become a man in part, but by his birth, He fully became a true human being. We can also see Jesus clearly displays many human emotions such as marveling, sorrowing, troubled, weeps and payed to God with prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears.
As Jesus is fully human and faced all those emotions, We can say that He also have sexual feelings and other temptations to fall into sin as long as he lived in this earth. But He took victory over all temptations and feelings and shows all humans that it is possible to live in this world without any sins.
He also took victory over all such things on the cross and is living today to give His grace and Holy Spirit to those who believes in him, to help them take victory over all those temptations and feelings.

Is it possible to have sexual feelings without lust? Jesus lived a perfect and sinless life, and in Matthew 5:27,28 he says, "You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery.' But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart." I believe that sexual feelings and lust go hand-in-hand, and that you can't have one without the other. So, if Jesus lived a life without sin, which he did, I believe that he had no sexual feelings toward anyone. Now, that does not mean that he was incapable of sexual feelings, but it does mean that he had control over them.
