Being called lord does not mean a person is God and you should really come to see what is written in the original texts. In the examples you give you quote texts which talk about God and place them on the same line as texts talking about Jesus as if they are talking about the same person, but one is talking about The God Most High Elohim Hashem Jehovah, whilst the other is talking about the only begotten beloved son of that Adonai, the Nazarene rabbi Jeshua, Jesus Christ, who is the sent one from God and not God himself.
You also seem to confuse titles with names.
You also should know that God cannot die and is an eternal Spirit whilst Jesus really died and as you yourself gave a quote rose from the dead.

You said, “Being called lord does not mean a person is God”. But being called the LORD is the same as being called JEHOVAH. So being called the LORD means Jesus Christ was JEHOVAH.
In Matt 22, Jesus was trying to get the Pharisees to admit that he was Jehovah, because if he wasn’t why would David call him Lord? No father would call his son, lord. Unless he’s a little different. Like Jehovah manifest in the flesh.

Jesus did not forgive sins, he said the sins where forgiven, like so many priests and pastors say that still today to their church members. Because priest in the Catholic church say the sins are forgiven they are God?
Jesus did his works by the authority of God. It was God doing the action and without his heavenly Father Jesus could do nothing.
“17 Jesus said to them, “My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I, too, am working.” 18 For this reason the Jews tried all the harder to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God. 19 Jesus gave them this answer: “I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does. 20 For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. Yes, to your amazement he will show him even greater things than these. 21 For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son gives life to whom he is pleased to give it. 22 Moreover, the Father judges no-one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son, 23 that all may honour the Son just as they honour the Father. He who does not honour the Son does not honour the Father, who sent him. 24 “I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life. 25 I tell you the truth, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live. 26 For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son to have life in himself. 27 And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man. 28 “Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice 29 and come out—those who have done good will rise to live, and those who have done evil will rise to be condemned. 30 By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me.
31 “If I testify about myself, my testimony is not valid. 32 There is another who testifies in my favour, and I know that his testimony about me is valid. 33 “You have sent to John and he has testified to the truth. 34 Not that I accept human testimony; but I mention it that you may be saved. 35 John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you chose for a time to enjoy his light. 36 “I have testimony weightier than that of John. For the very work that the Father has given me to finish, and which I am doing, testifies that the Father has sent me.” (John 5:17-36 NIV)
“27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
28 “You heard me say, ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. 29 I have told you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe. 30 I will not speak with you much longer, for the prince of this world is coming. He has no hold on me, 31 but the world must learn that I love the Father and that I do exactly what my Father has commanded me. “Come now; let us leave.” (John 14:27-31 NIV)

Text says he forgives sins. I’ll go with the text over the musings of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania, Inc.

Do you really believe when a person is given worship he or she is God? so you think Elvis Presley, Mr Moon, Apollo, Zeus and many others are God!
You do not seem to understand what the worship comprehended and even seem to miss the point that the person praising or honouring Jesus recognises him as the son of God and not as God.
“Then the man said, “Lord, I believe,” and he worshipped him.” (John 9:38 NIV)
“Then those who were in the boat worshipped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”” (Matthew 14:33 NIV)
“Then they worshipped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy.” (Luke 24:52 NIV)

You are a fool. The obvious point is that Jesus Christ was a good man. He told men to only worship God. Then he ALLOWED men to worship him. Either he was God and worthy of worship or else he was a blasphemer like the JBs (Jehovah’s Blasphemers).
Elvis, Moon, Apollo, Zeus were not good men, Jesus Christ was. You are a blasphemer.

“For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them.”” (Matthew 18:20 NIV)
In that verse Jesus did not claim omnipresence nor that he is God.
In my name (εις το εμον ονομα). Lit., “into my name.” When two or three are drawn together into Christ as the common center of their desire and faith.

By the way, because you think when there is written that some people worshipped Jesus that he must be Gdo. So Justin Bieber has to be God according to your thinking because today thousands of children worship Bieber as their god. But also in ancient times many gods were worshipped. Please find many such gods been worshipped in the Books Kings and Chronicles. In several countries many deities are worshipped within religious practice. But not only persons are worshipped. Still today you can find people who worship sun, moon or even an oak tree,. According to your way of thinking that must mean that such an oak tree is than God?!?!
Jesus was very clear about his person and about Whom had sent him and allowed him to do what for things. He also knew very well that he could do nothing without the One Who is greater than him and of Whose Will he always did, putting his own will aside. In case Jesus is God he would always have done his own will and would have been very schizophrenic asking God why He had abandoned him (Jesus) and praying to him also telling “not my will but your will be done”.

Ja, an oak tree is God. Solid logic. I’ve already commented on this demented train of thought so I will forbear here.
Also, for anyone reading this article and it’s comments, look at what points the JB (Jehovah’s Blasphemer) didn’t comment on. That is because they are too clear and solid to argue with, so he just shuts his mouth.
