Jesus is not God nor God the Son. Jesus was 100% man the biological son of Joseph and Mary, and one of God's earthly sons. Jesus was/is the messiah the chosen prophet of God. Jesus was/is of the seed of Abramham and King David. The bible clearly surpports these truths and facts. Jesus had biological brothers and sisters. Everyone that knew Jesus knew his mother and father (Joseph and Mary and his siblings). Jesus never said he was God or God the Son. Jesus had a God-God the Father the bible says. Many bible verses has been taken out of contexts which may appear to say Jesus is God, but really doesn't. There is only one God. There is no Trinity God. God said I alone am God, there is no other. God never explanis Himself as a Trinity God no where in the Bible and no one in the bible understood God to be a Trinity God either. God cannot and did not die ever. If God dies everything that exist dies as well, peroid. Every word of God from Genesis to Revelations must agree with each other about God and Jesus.

Look, I get the appeal of keeping things simple, but you're cherry-picking verses while ignoring the mountain of evidence that's been staring Christians in the face for two millennia. The early church didn't just stumble into Trinitarian doctrine by accident - they wrestled with texts that forced them there.
You say Jesus never claimed to be God? What about when he told the Jews "Before Abraham was, I am" - using God's own name from the burning bush? They tried to stone him for blasphemy on the spot because they knew exactly what he was claiming. Or when Thomas saw the risen Jesus and declared "My Lord and my God" - and Jesus accepted that worship instead of correcting him like any good Jewish prophet would have.
The "biological son of Joseph" argument falls apart when you realize Matthew and Luke trace different genealogies, and both emphasize the virgin birth. If Jesus was just Joseph's biological kid, why would the Gospel writers go out of their way to say he wasn't? That's like building a car and then advertising it doesn't have an engine.
Here's what really happened: the apostles encountered something so unprecedented that it broke their monotheistic categories. They didn't abandon "one God" - they discovered that one God is more complex than they imagined. Three persons, one essence. It's not math, it's mystery. And frankly, a God simple enough for us to fully comprehend wouldn't be much of a God at all.
