You state the Trinity is false but that Jesus is God, just as the Father is God. That is precisely what the Trinity states. Except that it goes further and acknowledges the Scriptural truth that there is only one God; that there only has ever been and only ever will be one God.
Your position is polytheism which goes against Scripture. You say you'll "stick with Scriptures," but you don't.
I have already stated Free that those that believe in One God can not see it. I can refute trinity at every level and every scripture you bring up in a reasonable and clear way with many supporting scriptures. That is pointless however because you have your labels such as Polytheism and you don't have the ability to see anything but one God.
However that does not mean I don't stick with scriptures. I am aware God said there are no other Gods, went on to say he has not known any other or made any other. This makes sense as Jesus is never listed as creator but by whom all things were made for. Also Jesus does not have a creation date. There is only One God the Father, and Jesus said that many times calling it His Father's house, and I only do what I hear my father say.
However, Jesus was called God by Thomas, God the Father Himself and called God by John. That makes Him God. The Apostles always mentioned God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, not God the father and Saviour in one. The Holy Spirit would not mislead or deceive, if there was just ONE, it would have always been listed as such.
The Problem with Trinity is in it's actual statement. I believe Jesus is the One and true God, always been here, but here with His father as He stated. Trinity's statement is there is ONE God, and Only one. This Makes for just one, and avoids sounding like Jesus was some demi god or something. However if there is just ONE, then someone is not fully God without the other as it's a triune God. That is the problem and has always been the problem. It can't be explained naturally or scripturally, because it don't make sense. I have read all the reasonings and debates concerning this matter, and the conclusion is that we believe in One God by faith, as a Mystery of the Christian faith.
Reasons given for believing in the Trinity include:
It is taught indirectly in various statements in the Bible
It explains the divinity of Jesus and the Holy Spirit while affirming monotheism
It would not be expected that the nature of God would make sense to human minds
The early ecumenical councils (primarily Nicea) are authoritative
This doctrine took centuries to develop, and has had a long road of debate and flame wars.
So someone simple like myself view statements like this.
Rev_3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
We have two thrones, one belongs to Jesus, The other to God the Father. No throne ever mentioned for the other 1/3 part (Holy Spirit) Thrones represent ruling power and all authority and there are only two main ones in Heaven with the 24 elders. The important ones are the ones the Father and Son sit in next to each other.
Now, how many Gods we have here? God is a class of something because Theos is generic unless defined. Two thrones, mean two God's. If their is only ONE made up of 3 then Each would have a throne all fully God but the Holy Spirit got left out somewhere. Oh my.
God gave all things to his son, by whom He made all things. Does God give them to himself being ONE GOD? It makes absolutely no sense. Trinity almost has to make each their Own Separate God to explain some of these things.
If the Son of God had been here from the Start with the Father as He said, and God talking to Him that they create man in their image whom God sent his son in the last days to speak to us which is scripture in Hebrews. Then we have Two theo's A Father and Son, and absolutely Zero scripture contradiction. I don't like things that don't make sense, and I don't like contradictions.
