Jesus agreed He could rightly be called a god in the same way other great leaders can. And He can rightly be called Lord because He is a great lord and powerful master. But He is and in some mysterious spirit way always has been human. Unlike God. Hence He is the Son of Man. And God has made Him truly Lord by raising Him from the dead after He was crucified. Because His being first of all God's makings He is before time and is not changed in His nature at all by time because He is Lord over time. This is how He is like God the Father but God the Father is greater.
