The reconciliation comes by realizing
1 John 2:22 comes before
1 John 2:23 
1 John 2:22 Who is a liar but
he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
1 John 2:23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
Verse 23 has nothing to do with denying the Son is not God, it has everything to do with denying that Jesus is not the Christ.
