Yes. The Bible teaches trinity and more.
Revelation 1:8
"I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty."
Revelation 1:17,18
".....Fear not; I am the first and the last:
I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; ........."
Who is the Alpha and Omega? God
Who is the first and the last? God
When was God dead? Jesus died on the Cross of Calvary so Jesus is God.
Revelation 1:11
Saying, "I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last and, What thou seest, write in a book.........."
Jesus is God and the first creation of the Father.
Revelation: 2:8
"..........These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;"
Jesus is God. Jesus wanted us to know Him from the Old Testament because the prophets prophesied of Him over and over and over again.
Yes, the Bible preaches the Trinity as "The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit." This is in so many places that I am not quoting Scriptures for this.
Read the King James Version of the Holy Bible which is not bound by copyright and which good men have not denounced.

A. Mark 14:60-62 (New International Version)
60Then the high priest stood up before them and asked Jesus, "Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?" 61But Jesus remained silent and gave no answer.
Again the high priest asked him, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?"
62"I am," said Jesus. "And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven."
B. No. That title was soley for Jesus!
Jesus Refers toi the Father all the time. And we see the Holy Spirit most dramatically personified here:
Acts 2:1-4 (New International Version)
1When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.
so YES, the Bible DOES preach the Trinity.
C.

a) well he pretty much said that he and the Father were one. I would say that is the equivalent of the phrase "i am god." The Jews of the time obviously thought so. Jesus never asked to be worshiped though.
b) the phrase "son of" is equal to "of the nature of." When someone says they are a son of god, it means they are of the nature of god, or divine. Just like when you say that someone is a son of a b**ch, you don't mean that literally, you just mean that they are b**chy.
c) Never read a verse in the bible that says anything about the trinity as an ideal.

Jesus said "Before Abraham I AM".
When Jesus made this declaration the Jews understood that Jesus was claiming to be the great "I AM" that moses encountered at the burning bush making Jesus synonymous with Jehovah God. For those of you who are not familiar with Scripture, the Bible prophesied that Jesus would not make His status as God the Son a major issue, He walked in humility putting others above Himself that's why He said "I AM". They had to be paying close attention to recognize the inference and the religious leaders payed close attention, not to be blessed but to find something on Jesus that they could stone Him for.

a) No.
b)Son of God is Mentioned Of Christ, but This would include the millions of other spirit sons of Jehovah God’s heavenly family (Da 7:9, 10; Re 5:11)
c) Absolutely Not.The New Encyclopædia Britannica says on this point: “Neither the word Trinity nor the explicit doctrine appears in the New Testament.” In addition, Yale University professor E. Washburn Hopkins observed: “To Jesus and Paul the doctrine of the trinity was apparently unknown; . . . they say nothing about it.”

When Jesus was asked are you the son of God, he said You say I am, Jesus never denied it, Now concerning the word son of God read Isa. 9:6 Matt. 17:5John 3:18 Phil. 2:15 & there is many more i can bring in. Now does the bible teach the trinity, NO, the trinity came in later on through the catholic church.

Jesus said I and my father are one according to the Bible. The Trinity isn't clearly stated in the Bible but it does use the word "elohim" to refer to God in the old testament, Elohim is a plural word meaning deities.
If Jesus said " I and my father are one" then he is saying "I am the son of God." However, he said that we are all God's children, but he didn't say we are all one with him.
If you look into Kabbalah and the concept of Ein Sof then you will probably understand the mysticism behind such statements.
By the way, there are Christian groups that don't believe in the Trinity, such as Unitarians, Universalists and Quakers.

While I am not a Christian, I agree that the non-Trinitarian view of God seems more sensible. You might want to look at the non-Trinitarian versions of Christianity. I would suggest looking into these Christian churches which are all non-Trinitarian: Jehovah's Witnesses, Christadelphians, Bible Students, American Unitarian Conference, Arian Catholic Church, Oneness Pentecostal, UU Christian Fellowship, etc. Swedenborgianism (look up Swedenborg on Wikipedia) was also non-Trinitarian. Perhaps one of these may speak to your condition. You can find all of them doing an online search. While it is true that LDS Mormons do not believe in the Trinity, they have a doctrine of Godhead and eternal progression which is more polytheistic than monotheistic.

Jesus is Son of God "on high", the awful lawful God: Law.
Christ is Son of God "higher", perfect merciful God: Grace.
Reconciliation is "through Jesus --> Christ" ---> to that God.
That God, of this/that Gods, was in "Christ" rec'g the world.
This God: I will forget you & "I will forsake you": Jer 23:39
That God: I'll never leave nor forsake you: Dt; Jos; 3Ch; Heb
This God is darkness(law) and not light(grace): Amos 5:18
That God is light(grace) and not darkness(law): 1John 1:5

Jesus clearly and distinctly points out that he is not God.
Everyone is a part of God, Jesus was not an exception to this rule.
