Scripture says that Jesus was tempted as we are. You continually claim that He was tempted differently than we are.
Hebrews 4:15
’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.”
I can say, I made a sound LIKE an polar bear, but it does not mean I am a polar bear.

You are promoting a heresy here, and I'll bet you don't realize it: that Jesus was not fully human.
Please quote me the verses that show Jesus had a human mind or human soul.
Jesus said His body was a temple. That does not sound like His body was like a merge with another person or a tailored human version of Himself.
You said:
Scripture tells us that Jesus hungered, thirsted, wept, and became fatigued. While Scripture doesn't specify, He certainly had normal human bodily functions, most likely sweated during exertion and probably, at times, stank for need of bathing facilities. Which part of these is not "weakness"? If Jesus were not fully human, then the incarnation too was a sham. You're digging yourself deeper in error.
I am not in denial of these things. These are all a part of having a human body or temple as Jesus called it.
If Jesus merged with a human mind, His statement that he came down from Heaven would not make any sense.
He could not say that unless He said, “My divine side says, ’I came down from Heaven.”” “But this does not apply to my human mind or soul that was made for me.” Jesus never said anything like that. On the inside of Jesus is 100% God and therefore any capacity to be tempted or to do sin is impossible.

What then was Adam's motivation to eat the forbidden fruit? What was the "lust" (your word, not mine) with which he struggled? You have no answer because Scripture doesn't tell us. You must propose the existence of a sin nature prior to the existence of human sin, which is a catch-22.
This is how it works every time a person sins.
They are first tempted internally, and drawn away by their lust.
Then when lust is conceived, it brings forth sin.
When sin is finished, it brings forth death.
James 1:14-15
14 ”But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

I'm surprised at your rank ignorance on this matter. "Asinine" is a derivative of "ass", a synonym for donkey.
Equine: of horses; bovine: of cattle; porcine: of pigs; asinine: of donkeys.
I am aware of this. So don’t act all surprised like I don’t know about this. I have no problem if it is used in the proper context like the Bible. When a person refers to a water dam, it is not a curse word But if a person says the curse word version of it, then that is another matter.
You said:
I guess you are obligated to throw out your vaunted KJV because it uses this "swear word" well over 100 times (along with "pisseth" which would certainly be considered inappropriate in most churches).
Like I said, I don’t have a problem with these words when used in context of the Bible. It’s when a person uses these words in the form of cursing is when it becomes wrong.
You said:
The problem was never my "cuss" word (which obviously isn't a cuss word at all), but rather your dirty mind.
Not at all. Even today, the word you had used would be unacceptable to say around others in certain situations or places. They would see it as a curse word. Now, if one is around a bunch of cussing sailors, then they obviously will not have a problem with it. I should not even have to debate this with you. You know that you simply don’t say the curse word you said in certain situations without it causing trouble. This is one of the reasons why I am strongly against Peter Ruckman. He had a filthy mouth and he was insulting. The Bible says, "Let your speech
be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.” (Colossians 4:6).
