Jesus is rightly called God (in the sense of Mighty God, not Almighty God)
and only-begotten god (John 1:18).
Jesus SHALL/WILL (Future tense) be called Mighty God, a position given by
him by the Father. This happened after his resurrection. This is the name
Jesus INHERITED according to Heb 1:4. So it is also right to call Jesus
God (meaning Mighty God) at John 20:28 but this is referring to Jesus’
resurrected state. But this doesn’t mean that Jesus is the Almighty God
because, at John 20:31 it stated “31 But these have been written down that
YOU may believe that Jesus is the Christ the Son of God, and that, because
of believing, YOU may have life by means of his name”. The Father, IS
ALWAYS the ALMIGHTY GOD.
In this same chapter (20:17) Jesus said: “I am ascending to my Father and
your Father and to my God and your God.”
The illustration is still valid, human judges at Bible times are called
“gods”. See Psalms 82.
