Why does that matter? Adam sinned, and became sinful, and passed that sinful nature to his progeny (everyone).

Mankind was created in the image of God. When Adam had children:

Gen 5:
3) And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:
I agree, everyone including Jesus.

I wouldn't call it a sinful nature. We have a sinful nature because we sin. Sometimes our thoughts are sinful. Or sometimes we tell a little lie to keep from hurting someones feeling. Because he lived by the spirit, just as Adam did in the beginning. People live by their souls. Believers are learning to live by the spirit, being taken from glory to glory.
I would... :)

I would also say that we sin because we have a sinful nature, not the other way around.

I agree, everyone including Jesus.
Jesus was born of a virgin. Placed in the womb by the Holy Spirit. That's why he is called the only begotten son of God. He came from the womb of God.

Jesus is not a descendant of Adam on his father's side... His Father is God.

There is a reason for the virgin birth.
The reason is his 100% Divinity. But He is a descendant of Adam for His 100% humanity.

If He didn't then how could this be true?:

Therefore, it was necessary for him to be made in every respect like us, his brothers and sisters, so that he could be our merciful and faithful High Priest before God. Then he could offer a sacrifice that would take away the sins of the people. Since he himself has gone through suffering and testing, he is able to help us when we are being tested.

Remember that no man can redeem his fellow men.

Psalm 49 King James Version (KJV)

49 Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world:

2 Both low and high, rich and poor, together.

Psalms 49:7 None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:

But Jesus is also God who redeems men:

Titus 2:13-14 King James Version (KJV)

13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

DOES GOD ERR OR DO INIQUITY?

2 Chronicles 19:7 Wherefore now let the fear of the Lord be upon you; take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with the Lord our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of gifts.

JESUS ALSO NEVER ERR

1 Peter 2:22 King James Version (KJV)

22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

So Jesus has no human sinful nature because he is not really human but God.

The Son of man who lived in a body of death typified as sinful flesh for a one time outward demonstration of His Spirit not seen condemning sin in the flesh that we might walk in the newness of eternal spirit life, by faith

God is not a man as us .God has no nature. He is supernatural without nature ,without mother or father beginning of Spirit life or end thereof

Romans 8:3For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

Having the sinful nature does not mean Jesus had to give into it and sin.
While that is true, it is not relevant. The sinful nature doesn't just make it possible to sin; Adam had that reality before death entered the world through his sin. Rather, the sin nature makes it impossible to not sin. Further, if Jesus had the sin nature, He would not have been eligible to be the perfect spotless Lamb. As He said of the prince of this world (the devil), "he has no hold over Me" (John 14:30).
