“ALL of the preceding events fulfill the scripture wherein He is called “God with us.” Thus, it is more than His name, but the very details of His conception which fulfill the prophecy.”

There is nothing there equating Emmanuel with being part of a triune God.

“Isa_9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his NAME shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”

And what do any of these names have to do with the trinity? With Jesus being equal to his Father?

It proves (and all the other scriptures) that Jesus is God, which apparently is a point that you concede. Therefore your argument is destroyed before it even begins.

So we know that Jesus is God, that the Father is God, and the Holy Spirit is God. We know that the central fact of Christianity is that there is only one God (Deu 4:35). But we also know that there is a distinction between all three. They are distinctly defined in baptism, they are described as having different roles in salvation and in the Godhead, (For example, the Holy Spirit regenerates believers through the work of Christ who was made sin for us on the cross, died and rose again, and the Father is the one who chose us before the foundation of the world) and yet all are equal, eternal, and one Almighty God.
