Questions for Trinitarians

Below is my list of Questions about the Trinity Doctrine, which I could not find good answers to, as I was abandoning that doctrine.

Are you a Trinitarian? Do you have good answers to any of these questions? Please let me know: post them in a comment below or tweet me at @AnnotatedBible.

1:) Where does the Bible say more than one person can still exist as one being, one essence, or one substance? (John 8:17-18)

2:) Where does the Bible say that Jesus had both a God-nature and a human-nature at the exact same time while on earth?

3:) How can Jesus be co-equal with God the Father at the exact same time that the Father is greater than Jesus, and is the Head of Jesus? (John 14:28, 1 Corinthians 11:3, Philippians 2:6-8)

4:) Where does the Bible say Jesus and the Father are one and the same God, instead of being two different Gods? (John 10:34-35, John 1:18, John 8:17-18)

5:) Why did Jesus deny that He was God at Mark 10:18?

6:) What was Jesus teaching at John 10:34-35?

7:) Where does the Bible say Jesus had an equal position with God the Father BEFORE coming to earth?

8:) At what point in time did God "make" Jesus become "Lord"? (Acts 2:36) How could there ever be a time when Yahweh was not "Lord," if indeed Jesus was Yahweh?

9:) If Jesus is Yahweh, why would He ever give up His Kingdom and hand it over to Yahweh? (1 Corinthians 15:24-28)

10:) If Jesus is Yahweh and co-equal to the Father, how could there be a time when the Father had to grant authority to Jesus? (John 5:21-27)

11:) If Jesus was Yahweh, why and how would He ever have needed to wait to inherit His own Divine Name? At what point did He NOT have possession of His own Name? (See Hebrews 1:4)

12:) If Jesus was Yahweh, how can Yahweh ever become lower than angels (See Hebrews 2:9), and how could He be co-equal to the Father at the same time He was lower than the angels?

13:) Why do modern Bible translations (except for the NASB and NWT) remove the word "begotten" from John 1:18, John 3:16, and other verses, especially since the Early Church Fathers (starting about 130 AD) quoted those verses as referring to Jesus as "the only-begotten"?

14:) Why do the 2011 NIV, NRSV, and NLT versions change Philippians 2:6 to say the exact opposite of what the literal Greek means? (Compare the literal NASB & ESV)

15:) Why do the NIV and NLT change the phrase "firstborn of all creation" (or "supreme one of all creation"), replacing the word "OF" with the word "OVER"?

16:) Why does Proverbs 8:20-24 say that  Jesus ("Wisdom") was created, produced, and given birth to, if Jesus is eternal?

17:) Why do Trinitarians strongly deny that Jesus is Michael the Chief Angel, but at the same time, most Trinitarians claim Jesus is the Chief of the Angels in Joshua 5?
