Millions of Christians, who are members of the world's major Christian religions, are taught and believe in the Trinity and that Jesus is God. The Roman Catholic Church created the Nicene creed, a statement of belief, in 381AD, which stated, "Following the holy fathers we all together teach men to acknowledge as one and the same Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, at the same time, complete in Godhead and complete as man, truly God and truly man, ... of one substance with the Father as regards his Godhead.... from Mary the Virgin, the God-bearer...."
This evolved Nicene creed, Trinity version, stated it "following the holy church fathers" and not "following the Apostles' writings". Under 'Trinity' Wikipedia says "the developed doctrine of the Trinity is not explicit in the books that constitute the New Testament. The doctrine of the Trinity was first formulated among the fathers of the Church". The Encyclopedia Britannica states: “Neither the word Trinity nor the explicit doctrine appears in the New Testament . . . The doctrine developed gradually over several centuries and through many controversies.” See APOSTASY AND CREED DOCTRINES.
Sir Isaac Newton saw two major flaws in the Christian doctrine of the trinity. One, it was not supported in the scriptures and two, it was illogical. He used scriptural passages to demonstrate the scriptures taught that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost are separate and distinct entities. For example, the Son confessed that the Father was greater than him at John 14:28 and called him his God at John 20:17 "..go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father and to my God and your God”. Jesus placed himself directly under the command of his Father "for the world to know that I love the Father, I am doing just as the Father has commanded me to do" John 14:31.
Newton wrote an article on 1 John 5:7 found in the King James Version, “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost; and these three are one”. Newton, studying the Vulgate translation as well as the original Greek, showed that the words “in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost; and these three are one” did not appear in the original Greek manuscripts. He wrote “was neither in the ancient versions nor in the Greek but was wholly unknown to the first churches, this text of the "Three in Heaven" was never thought of". Newton concluded that the verse at 1 John 5:7 was a later addition to the Bible. He wrote, “The apostasy was to begin by corrupting the truth about the relation of the Son to the Father in putting them equal”. See ISAAC NEWTON BIBLE SCHOLAR.
Scholars today agree 1 John 5:7 is indeed spurious, based on the same arguments Newton used. The verse is not found in any early Greek manuscript, and is not quoted by the Greek Fathers who, if they had known it, would certainly have used it in the Trinitarian controversies of the fourth century AD.
Writers of the Greek scriptures did teach:
That Jesus was equivalent in nature to Adam, a perfectly created loyal Son of God and could therefore re-balance the scales of justice. The Trinity doctrine swept this under the carpet. Jesus could not be equal with the creator God as stated in the creeds, any more than Adam was equal to God, both were Sons (Romans 5:15-19). The Trinity doctrine would invalidate any legal rebalancing by Jesus' ransom for Adam's sin. It undermines and devalues the significance of Jesus Christ's sacrificial death. Which is the all-important central support for redemption for mankind - remove it and the entire basis of God's Kingdom is invalidated. If Jesus was God, he would never have been able to take on the same rank as Adam, who was originally created by God, as a Son of God.

"You heard that I said to you, ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I am" John 14:28.
"For God “subjected all things under his feet.” But when he says that ‘all things have been subjected,’ it is evident that this does not include the One who subjected all things to him. But when all things will have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will also subject himself to the One who subjected all things to him, that God may be all things to everyone" 1 Corinthians 15:27, 28.
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; because by means of him all other things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible, whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All other things have been created through him and for him. Also, he is before all other things, and by means of him all other things were made to exist, and he is the head of the body, the congregation. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that he might become the one who is first in all things; because God was pleased to have all fullness to dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all other things by making peace through the blood he shed on a stake whether the things on the earth or the things in the heavens" Colossians 1:15, 16.
The bible confirms Jesus was originally a perfect spirit Son of God, who was metamorphosed into a human Son of man. The only man, since Adam, who was free from inherited sin to walk the earth. The only one who could pay the equating ransom price to reverse mankind's alienation from God.
"Just as through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because they had all sinned 15 But the gift is not like the trespass. For if by one man’s trespass many died, how much more did the undeserved kindness of God and his free gift by the undeserved kindness of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to many! 16 Also, it is not the same with the free gift as with the way things worked through the one man who sinned. For the judgment after one trespass was condemnation, but the gift after many trespasses was a declaration of righteousness. 17 For if by the trespass of the one man death ruled as king through that one, how much more will those who receive the abundance of the undeserved kindness and of the free gift of righteousness rule as kings in life through the one person, Jesus Christ! 18 So, then, as through one trespass the result to men of all sorts was condemnation, so too through one act of justification the result to men of all sorts is their being declared righteous for life. 19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one person many will be made righteous. 21 just as sin ruled as king with death, so also undeserved kindness might rule as king through righteousness leading to everlasting life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 5:12-21.
