I'm not ready to throw away the Bible just to be a unitarian. I partly was following threads if per chance someone had a better representation of the divinity of Christ than found in the Trinitarian doctrine. All I found was one-verse unitaraians who denied the testimony of Christ's divinity. The unitarians cannot even explain away the divinity of Christ in John 1.

You believe that, contrary to he Bible explicitly defining Lord God Almighty as only the Father, that Unitarians are wrong for believing that and that you would have to throw away the Bible to believe the Bible? Sorry, I am trying to be polite but that's ridiculous. I would definitely be a Trinitarian if God was ever defined or described as three persons. If the rest of the Bible was ignored, one may be able to argue a Binity version of God in John 1, but the Trinity version of God is too fractured and debatable.
Unitarianism can't be debunked because it works well with the entire Bible. We pretty much have full reign over the entire Scriptures since God is, without exception, described and identified with singular personal pronouns from cover to cover.
Unitarianism can't be debunked because unitarians reject scriptures that speak against their view. I keep on noting that you have not yet made arguments sufficient to deny the divinity of Christ. I can see that you expect some verses determine the restrictions against the revelation of the rest of scripture. Like I share often, the passages that share the humanity of Christ are not in dispute because Trinitarians recognize the humanity of Jesus.
I can recognize that there are passages that speak of God the Father as distinct from Christ Jesus as Lord. I relied on those alone for awhile into falling into a unitarian concept. Yet, it is the fact of Jesus being identified alongside God that shows Christ's equality with God, not just his distinctive identity. Nor do we expect that the Spirit is sent to people but is not of God. So it is unlikely that some theory is going to put aside the Trinitarian concept, especially if that alternative theory does not deal with all the facts.
The greatest element is that ambiguity exists. I just find a denial of that ambiguity by unitarians. And they are unable to push that ambiguity into a strict rejection of the divinity of Christ and the existence of the Spirit. Go ahead and take books that explain the Trinity and list the passages in its evidence. Show how those do not show the Trinitarian aspect of God.
There. I have tried to treat you a little better despite all that you have pushed here.
