Did Adam also have a divine nature as Jesus?

No, and I never said he did. However, Jesus is the Second Adam, is He not? So at the very least He had to face temptation of the same sort as Adam faced: outward temptation to disobey God.

Check out what Pink says;
The Man Christ Jesus was the Holy One of God, and therefore He could not sin. But were not Satan and Adam created without sin, and did not they yield to temptation? Yes; but the one was only a created angel the other merely man. But our Lord and Savior was not a created being; instead, He was "God manifest in flesh." In His humanity He was "holy" (Luke 1:35) and, as such, as high above unfallen Satan or Adam as the heavens are above the earth. He was not only impeccable God, but impeccable Man. The prince of this world came, but found nothing in Him (John 14:30). Thus, He is presented before us not only as an example to be followed, but as an Object upon which faith may rest with unshaken confidence.

And Pink manifestly IGNORES Heb. 4:15, "For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been TEMPTED IN ALL THINGS as we are, YET without sin." He took on HUMAN WEAKNESSES, and that's what makes His temptation meaningful.
