Jesus is God
Jesus is God manifest in the flesh. When the angel of the Lord appeared unto Joseph he said “thou shalt call his name Jesus”, Matt 1:21. The prophecy he fulfilled at his birth said “they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us”, Matt 1:23.
Both are correct, the man called Jesus is Emmanuel. He is God manifest in the flesh.
