   > Not at all. Going by the Holy Bible.Notice how Mary got pregnant:   
      
   “Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had   
   bidden him, and took unto him his wife: And knew her not till she had brought   
   forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.” (Mat 1:24-25)   
      
   As is obvious Jesus was the firstborn son of Mary. Jesus, although conceived   
   by the Spirit of God, was called and known as the "Son of Man" as well as the   
   "Son of God.   
      
   “Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the   
   heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have   
   not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our   
   infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without   
   sin.” (Heb 4:14-15)   
      
   Here you can see that Jesus was tempted the same as we are. So He knows the   
   depths of temptation that men go through in the various ways, and the   
   strengths of the temptations, yet he overcame them all.
