Not Contaminated!

So I heard a sermon today that I had to take issue with.  The minister said that when Jesus touched the leper that He became contaminated.  I believe this to be a heresy.  Our major founder EGW has this to say about Jesus and his nature. 
http://whiteestate.org/  "The work of Christ in cleansing the leper from his terrible disease is an illustration of His work in cleansing the soul from sin. The man who came to Jesus was "full of leprosy." Its deadly poison permeated his whole body. The disciples sought to prevent their Master from touching him; for he who touched a leper became himself unclean. But in laying His hand upon the leper, Jesus received no defilement. His touch imparted life-giving power. The leprosy was cleansed. Thus it is with the leprosy of sin,--deep-rooted, deadly, and impossible to be cleansed by human power. "The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrefying sores." Isa. 1:5, 6. But Jesus, coming to dwell in humanity, receives no pollution."  http://drc.whiteestate.org/files/4953.pdf   " He took pleasure in discharging His obligations to His parents and to society, without yielding His principles or being contaminated with the impure influence surrounding Him at Nazareth."  http://drc.whiteestate.org/files/3082.pdf  Please, please be careful who you listen to and what they are teaching.
