Can the Disciples forgive Sins Like Jesus? John

Shamounian /Halal Hogan/ Sam Shamoun explains to christians in the bible where jesus forgives sins now the objection raised up is that well if Jesus is able to forgive sins in Mark 2:7 and it makes him God does it also make the apostles God because jesus gave them the authority to forgive sins in John 20:23 ? This is mostly brought up by Jehovahs witness , Unitarians , And Muslims as well to deny the divinity of Christ but when we look at the passage in context and as a whole we see that Jesus is doing it by his own authority and for the apostles when they do it the only can declare it because Jesus has told them if they accept him their sins are forgiven on Jesus authority not the apostles authority because they are doing it in his name on his behalf which in the old testament pointing to a name other than God and being breathed out the holy spirit from someone that is not God has never happened but by God so This confirms Jesus is God in the flesh because hes doing the acts and commands only God can do proving Jesus to be God
