He might be. I have said before Jesus is God. I don't know what I meant. But I question if I was correct.

Except the Bible says that God is one and you have three Gods. Or two. I am not sure which. For, God is Spirit.
No, not three Gods; just One. God exists in three equally divine “Persons”—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Jesus said this in regards to the following scripture:
But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
- Hebrews 2:9-10 (KJV)
Jesus came to die for the world. He had to come in the flesh and humbling Himself to accomplish this.
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear His voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.) Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

@JacobMartinMertens, what do you think the Apostle Paul meant when he said of Jesus...thought it not robbery to be equal with God?
I think that it is possibly a mistranslation, though I can't be sure. Translators have reasons that they translate as they do, and I don't understand that statement.
Philippians 2:6 NASB20 - who, as He [already] existed in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
Why assume it's a poor translation? Why not simply accept what it says?
I looked at different translations and they do not all say the same thing so I don't make a doctrine out of it as I don't know Greek.
It's not difficult to look up the Greek online. Rather than remain in a state of doubt, why not just Google it.
It is not that I can't find Greek online. It is that I don't know how to read it. I know two words. Theos. And, logos. But I don't know how to read Greek. However, Hebrew I can read, though I don't know all of the words.
