@sonship saidThe only claims I see as being in play here are yours. The go-to coercion thing you attempt - in this case, it's signalled by the words "the difference" - doesn't make any sense morally speaking, so how can it possibly affect my thinking or the way my life? Ho-hum in THAT sense.
If He meant what He said and if Christ turns out to be who He said, that makes all the difference.
If not, you can ho-hum.

What is the significance of you asking six times? I told you that in history Jesus manifests the highest state of morality. And I am confident that I am on the right track to believe Christ represents a Perfect Man and a Perfect God.
Are you looking for a chemical formula or a mathematical equation that establishes this ?
I have none.
Now a question to you then.
Does the existence of faith automatically prove what one has faith in is not real and not true ?
I have something like (I say something similar perhaps) to faith that the sun will rise tomorrow.
Now I don't KNOW It. But I have confidence. I trust that it will.
Are your questions aimed to prove that faith in something and that something as a reality, is impossible ?
@sonship saidMy questions are aimed at the fact that you seem to have nothing concrete, specific or real to offer about morality. And we know what act by your God figure you tout as "perfect morality". So, maybe it's no surprise that you don't have anything to offer. I repeatedly give you chances to show that you do have something to offer.

@sonship saidI addressed this rhetorical gimmick of yours - for the umpteenth time. Did you not read it? I wasn't evasive at all. I tackled your debating device head on.
The same guy speaks of evasion who would not offer an alternative person in history OR in myth, to Jesus ?
@FMF
I offered Jesus as the highest manifestation of moral goodness.
How so?
With English words.
And you didn't challenge with another example.
Why do you attribute "the highest manifestation of moral goodness" to Jesus Christ?
His words. His actions. His life. His final victory over death.
He is not just good. He is gloriously good.
He is not just righteous. He is righteous with a radiant splendor unmatched by anyone else.
H.G. Wells, no evangelical Christian, said when Jesus opened His mouth He embrace with them the whole world.
He truly was "the light of the world".
More consciences have been touched by the words of Jesus then any other human being, I would wager.
Possibly a second runner up would be Confucius.
But I still think Jesus occupies a class of morally upright people which has one member - Himself.
