All these doctrines were deduced from scripture. This verse should give you a clue about Jesus's clandestine mission:

The doctrine of the Holy Trinity is not directly stated in the bible, but only hinted at.
Matthew 28:19, where Jesus instructs the apostles: "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit."
Revelation 5: 13 & 14, "Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, everything in the universe, cry out: "To the one who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor, glory and might, forever and ever. The four living creatures answered, "Amen," and the elders fell down and worshiped."
Notice in Revelation both God and the Lamb (Jesus) are praised with "blessing", "honor", "glory", and "might". Then, the elders "fell down and worshiped."
If Jesus is not the Second Person of the Holy Trinity, how could He be worshiped? Wouldn't that be idolatry, in God's face no less?

Jesus claims to be God:
Matt. 9:2; Mark 2:5; Luke 5:20; 7:48 - Jesus forgives sins. Only God can forgive sins.
Matt. 12:8; Mark 2:28; Luke 6:5 - Jesus says that He is "Lord of the Sabbath." He is the Lord of God's law which means He is God
John 5:23 - Jesus equates Himself with the Father, "whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him."
Asks to be worshipped? God doesn't ask, you just do.
Matt. 2:2,11 - the magi who came to see the newborn Jesus came to worship Him.
Matt. 8:2 - a leper came to Jesus and worshiped Him without rebuke.
Matt. 14:33 - the apostles who were in the boat worshiped Jesus without rebuke.
Matt. 28:9 - Jesus' disciples took His feet and worshiped Him without rebuke.
Matt. 28:17 - Jesus' disciples saw Him and then worshiped Him.
John 20:28 - Jesus accepts Thomas' statement "My Lord and my God!" Literally, "the Lord of me and the God of me!" (in Greek, "Ho Kurios mou kai ho Theos mou").
Original sin not mentioned but well known from the begining of the human race (Gen 3)
The other questions basically repeat the first three.
God Bless

The Trinity was established in Pagan cultures and the politicians of the 1st century used it to gain power over the people. The Trinity is NOT in the bible...and if you have so many doubts I would suggest this...READ the Bible and piece it all together yourself. That is the only way to answer all your legitimate questions...Examples of a trinity in Pagan cultures: Egypt: triad of Horus, Osiris, Isis. Palmyra: triad of moon god, lord of heavens and sun god, Babylon: triad of Ishtar, Sin ,Shemash. The Christian Trinity was modeled after these Pagan trinities.

Also, where did Jesus ever take a dump or pee? Because if I read the BIble the way you want me to apparently Jesus never expelled waste.

He did not cry in the streets that he was these things but he was.
In humility he taught us the way back to true worship.
In sacrifice he made a way for us to get back to true worship.
In love he rose from the dead so you do not have to fear death.
Do you hear his call.
Answer him while he is still there.

Have you ever read the Bible?
Jesus doesn't asked to be worshipped. He is worthy to be praised.
