because he doesn't believe Christ is God.
so he's drawing the whole 'Christ is God' thread into as many random futile arguments as he can. like how rich men fight things in courts that they know they can't win -- they're just stalling for time, trying to bog down the prosecution with paperwork until the crime is lost in all the filling out of forms and going through of motions.
he's succeeded in adding 9 pages of side-tracking, all avoiding the key issue:
Jesus of Nazareth is I AM in the flesh

God cannot be tempted ((James 1:3)). Christ was 'tested' i.e. 'proven' ((πειράζω - look it up))
which, BTW --
through Hebrews 2:7-9 / Psalm 8:5 we know that being found in the form of a man, His humanity is lower than the angels - so the authority in Him ((Matthew 28:18-20)) is of that which is above the whole created order, even above the anointed cherub ((Ezekiel 28:14)). who rules over all? YHWH Lord of Hosts ((1 Chronicles 29:12))
→ Christ is God
which, BTW --
Jesus said to him,
“Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’”
Then the devil left Him, and behold! Angels came and ministered to Him!
(Matthew 4:10-11)
Christ tells Satan to depart, and The Devil departs. Christ has authority over him, which even Michael does not ((Jude 1:9)). through Hebrews 2:7-9 / Psalm 8:5 we know that being found in the form of a man, His humanity is lower than the angels - so the authority in Him ((Matthew 28:18-20)) is of that which is above the whole created order, even above the anointed cherub ((Ezekiel 28:14)). who rules over all?

thanks for reminding me; i think we haven't actually listed this proof yet:
believe me, @Jerzy these people knew the scripture far better than you do, and they immediately understood what Jesus was saying. and they tried to kill Him for it, repeatedly. Christ is God; He says so Himself.
in this passage He self-referentially invokes the ineffable name, and such passages as Exodus 19:9 unmistakably identifying Himself.
Jesus said, “I AM. And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.”
Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, “What further need do we have of witnesses? You have heard the blasphemy! What do you think?”
And they all condemned Him to be deserving of death.
(Mark 14:62-64)
Jesus was in fact condemned to death by the unbelieving for exactly the fact that He referred to Himself as God. believe me, @Jerzy these people knew the scripture far better than you do, and they immediately understood what Jesus was saying. and they tried to kill Him for it, repeatedly. Christ is God; He says so Himself.
in this passage He self-referentially invokes the ineffable name, and such passages as Exodus 19:9 unmistakably identifying Himself.
OK, please consider the following verses and tell us why we should reject them:

I'm not interested in debating. I have done my homework, and I know that Jesus Christ is God. 
So one wonders where do you know it from that Jesus is God.
Please consider some of the texts in post 1091 making your "know" absolutely impossible.
