Awesome question. I do believe that the bible should be our only source of truth about God. I do not support creeds, especially the Nicene creed. Which is were the doctrine of the trinity for the Catholics and most protestants. But does the bible teach the Trinity. I think so let's look.
How many Gods are there?
1, the bible states this 24 times like the most memorable which is Isaiah 44:8
"Do not fear, nor be afraid;
Have I not told you from that time, and declared it?
You are My witnesses.
Is there a God besides Me?
Indeed there is no other Rock;
I know not one."
Is Jesus God
Yes check out John 20:28, 2 Pet. 1:1, Tit. 2:13
Is the Holy Spirit God.
Yes the Holy spirit is often refered to as God in the OT and NT.
So if there is one God and the Father is God and Jesus is God, and the Spirit is God. There must be a trinity.
Sorry I will give a more complete answer on you tude and refer you to it I am almost out of characters.

I am not more qualified than anyone else that opens the bible and teaches from it. No amount of study (college or any other) makes one more qualified. I will try to address as best I can. I never claim better accuracy though I will do my best to use the Hole Council of God(The Entire Bible) to answer the questions .

There is actually a whole school of Christian thought that teaches that same belief. Both the arguments for and against many Godhead views will be address in the video. You make a good argument but what about when all three are present at the same time at Jesus's baptism. Not trying to be argumentative just food for thought.

The first time I heard the phrase the hole council of God I conjured up thoughts of old men and dark robes sitting conferring with each other.
It is actually just seeing what the entire bible says about a subject. Paul teaches that we should examine the entire scripture to determine what God Says about a matter. That is all it means, nothing mysterious or secretive but requires dedication to study.
Hope that clears it up a little. Sorry I should have expounded more on that the first time.
