Many who claim Jesus is God actually mean He is divine. Divine as Son of God, begotten of God, like a prince son of a king is royal. The prince son is royal but is not the king while the father is king. Many who deny Jesus is God are not denying His divinity as the uniquely begotten Son of God but are denying that Jesus is the Most High God, who is called God as a proper noun. Only the Father is that. Anything else tends to be misunderstanding, which is no wonder given the two conflicting meanings of the word ‘God’, not just in English but in Greek too. That is why the scriptures make it clear, e.g. with Rev 22:9.
