The Trinity is the doctrine that there is only one God in all existence. This one God exists as three persons: The Father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit. They are not three gods, but one God. Each is a separate person, yet each of them is, in essence, divine in nature.
A close analogy of the Trinity can be found by looking at the concept of time. Time is past, present, and future. There are three "aspects" or "parts" of time. This does not mean that there are three "times," but only one. Each is separate, in a sense, yet each shares the same nature, or essence. In a similar way, the Trinity is three separate persons who share the same nature. I know...I know everyone says well the word "trinity" is not in the Bible...I answer to that by saying neither is the word omnipotent, yet God is omnipotent...
The Incarnation
The doctrine of the incarnation in Christian teaching is that Jesus, who is the second person of the Trinity, added to himself human nature and became a man.
The Bible says that Jesus is God in flesh, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.....and the word became flesh and dwelt among us" (John 1:1, 14); and, "For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form" (Col. 2:9). Jesus, therefore, has two natures. He is both God and man. Jesus is completely human, but He also has a divine nature.
He is worshiped (Matt. 2:2,11; 14:33; 28:9)
He is prayed to (Acts 7:59; 1 Cor. 1:2)
He was called God (John 20:28; Heb. 1:8)
He was called Son of God (Mark 1:1)
He is sinless (1 Pet. 2:22; Heb. 4:15)
He knew all things (John 21:17)
He gives eternal life (John 20:28)
The fullness of deity dwells in Him (Col. 2:9)

Jesus was born with the name Yeshua, or Joshua, traditionally in the town of Bethlehem, near Nazareth. The name Jesus is actually the Greek translation of the name Joshua. If he were born today, and if his last name reflected that of his father's profession, a Carpenter, then he would possibly be known as Joshua Zimmerman. Surnames of Hebrew families often reflected professions associated with them. For example, the name of Cohen represents a long line of Rabbis.

In the New Testament, Jesus is often referred to as "Lord," a term that was applied to many scholars of Hebrew and other Eastern theologies. It is speculated that in his missing years, Jesus spent time in Buddhist monasteries in India and Tibet, where he was known as "Issa," learning the principles of Buddhist theology that explain the connection of divinity with all human beings and the importance of practicing loving kindness to all people. The Himis monastery purports to have scrolls that document his visit to the area in that time period. The Issa Upanishad, the only literary document in the Upanishads that is told in parable form, bears a remarkable resemblance to the Sermon on the Mount. (An Upanishad is a literary work that has been transcribed by a writer directly from a public lecture or sermon. The word "Upanishad" literally means "to sit at the foot of the master.")

Jesus never referred to himself as God incarnated. Instead, he taught that all men... and women, too, have divinity within them and as such, we should treat everyone with love and respect. He suggested that we are all sons and daughters of God, in this respect. This is a direct principle of Buddhist theology, which existed at least 500 years before the birth of Jesus. The deification of Jesus was an act of the Roman Empire some three hundred years after the crucifixion, when the Holy Roman Empire was created by the Council of Nicea as Christianity became the official religion after the initial fall of Rome; and because many of its citizens had converted to Christianity.

It doesn't,

It says the Word became flesh. John 1:14
(not God became flesh)
The AmericanTranslation says at John 1:1
that the Word was divine, (divine means like God, or from God) So the Word was with God in the beginning and the Word was from God, or like God. (not the same as being God)

Col 1:15 says that Jesus is the image of God. so when Jesus said you see me, you see the Father, that's true.

What beginning was the Word with God?
John 1:14 says that Jesus' glory was that of an only begotten Son. Begotten means to be born, which means to bring to life. When did Jesus come to life? Col 1:15 says as God's Firstborn, Rev 3:14 the beginning of creation.

He then served as God's Master worker Prov. 8:30 to help his Father create all other things. Col 1:16, John 1:2

John 17: 22 Jesus gives his disciples his glory, the glory he had from the beginning or prior to coming to the earth. John 17:5

The fullness of the Godhead dwells in him because Heb 1:3 says he is the exact representation of his Father, what he saw his Father do, he copied or did.

Images and representations may look and act the real thing but they are not the real thing. John 17:3 Jesus said the Father is the only true God.

There are 3 types of gods listed in the bible.

The only true God, Jehovah.

False gods,
Satan (2 Cor 4:4)
Zeus, Hermes (Acts 14:12)

those called gods
Moses (Ex 4:16, Ex 7:1)
judges in Israel (Ps. 82:6; John 10:34)
Jesus (John 1:1, 18)

At John 10:30, when Jesus said he and his Father are one, the word one is neuter or can be translated as one (thing). The context shows that the one (thing) is that of wworks, John 10:32. When the Jews came to the wrong conclusion, vs 31, Jesus corrected by quoting vs 32-36.

John 17:22, 23 also shows that the oneness of Jesus and the Father is the same oneness that his disciples enjoy.

John 1:18 states that Jesus is not God, but is in the bosom position with the Father, that no one has seen God AT ANY Time, and that the only begotten god has explained him.

May we echo the words of Paul at Romans 15:5,6 "likeminded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus, that you may with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ."

John 1:14 in the new King James Version of the Bible states it well. "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth."

It doesn't but many people are confused about this because of the reference to him by the angel as being Immanuel which means "God among us." Jesus himself NEVER claims to be God and in a few instances refuses to allow people to worship him as such. "Do not worship me" he says "but he who has sent me."

It doesn't. That's an implication derived from combining different pieces of the New Testament. Other verses contradict this, but they are always just hand waved away.
