I appreciate the reply, but I'd encourage you to look again at what 
Jesus said about Himself. No one takes my life from me, but I lay it 
down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority 
to take it up again. John 10:18

Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. John 14:9

Jesus didn't just say He was a servant of God. He claimed divine 
authority. And the eyewitness accounts confirm He rose just as He 
said He would.

You mentioned the Trinity being nonsense, but that truth wasn't 
invented later. It is rooted in Jesus' own words, and it was 
affirmed by the early church long before councils and denominations:

The Apostles Creed (2nd century) says I believe in Jesus Christ, 
His only Son, our Lord who was crucified, died, and was buried. 
He descended to the dead. On the third day He rose again.

Not a man resurrected by God, but God the Son acting in unity with 
the Father and the Spirit just as He always said He would. 

Of course, "The Trinity" is just a descriptor. My claim is that 
Jesus is just as much God as the one we call the Father. God 
exists outside of time, space, and matter, so to be born as a 
man, He had to step out of eternity while still remaining in 
eternity.
