>>They are wrong. It is not a new god. Jesus was God's son as a heavenly spirit being.
If a man has a son, what is his son? His son is the same as him, a man. If a God has a son, the son is a God. If I, as a man, created some sort of intelligent being-- that is my creation, not my son. A son is made of the same stuff as his father. Why do you think the Jews wanted to kill Jesus when he claimed to be the son of God? To them he was claiming to be a God. The trouble comes in because the bible also says there is only one true God. So somehow you must reconcile it.
Also there are NT verses quoting OT verses about YHWH and the NT writer applies them to Jesus.
