The Doctrine of the Trinity is not accepted by many. Prior to the Council of Nicea (325 AD). It was not the accepted doctrine of the Church. There was a raging controversy between those who believed he is the Son of God, and those who believed He was God. Even afterwards there were Church Councils that disagreed with the Nicean Creed.
John 1:1 is the verse most often pointed to as supporting Jesus is God, but not all translations support that view. See the New English Translation.
You may strongly disagree that Jesus is the son of God, but a lot of us Christians strongly disagree with you.
Its really something that God has to reveal to you. And I hope He opens your eyes to the Trinity Heresy.
There are many references to him being the Son of God. After Paul’s Conversion, he preached that Jesus is the Son of God (not God). See the Book of Acts for details.
The Devil himself tempted Jesus to be God (to be #1) by offering him earthly riches, and Jesus did not fall. How on earth can you tempt God to be God?
Furthermore, the Thief on the Cross found Salvation and DID NOT BELIEVE IN THE TRINITY.
Yours in Christ
How do you explain “Before Moses was, I Am”? Or Paul saying that the universe was created through Jesus?
Do you believe Jesus existed before He was born, or do you believe that God created Him when He was conceived?
If Jesus did NOT exist before He was born, what was the Bible talking about when it refers to God consisting of more than one being?

Actually the doctrine of the Trinitaty was/is accepted by the overwhelming majority (99.9% +) of Christians since the time of Christ.
At the Council of Nicea it passed with a near unanimous decision except for Arians
The fact that it was not an accepted doctrine does not mean that it was not accepted by most -- and Even afterwards there were Church Councils that disagreed with the Nicean Creed. is incorrect -- the Chalcedonian etc. had disputes over more esoteric details but didnot disagree with the Nicean Creed
he preached that Jesus is the Son of God (not God) -- the Son of God and God. God is one, there are no multiple gods. We are a monotheistic religion, not a polytheistic...
