A universe ex nihilo destroys the first cause argument.

 Romans1:20NIV"For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse." 

  The creation is not a mere conjuring. It is the partial actualization of JEHOVAH'S limitless potential. It makes manifest the wisdom(technology) of his transcendent mind. JEHOVAH is sage not mage. Those who insists on propagating the narrative of a creation ex nihilo I.e from nothing do injury to the first cause argument by rendering an all wise omnipotent deity unnecessary. Indeed a universe that can emerge ex nihilo requires neither cause nor explanation for it's existence.

Clement of Rome on the supremacy of the Father.

  

Clement of Rome (AD 45-101) : "The apostles received the gospel for us from Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ was sent from God. So Christ is from God, and the apostles are from Christ: thus both came in proper order by the will of God."[4] Also, "Let all the heathen know that thou [the Father] art God alone, and that Jesus Christ is thy Servant..."[5] 

A few scriptures that really ought to put the trinity dogma to rest.

 Psalm83:18KJV" That men may know that thou,whose name alone is JEHOVAH,art the most high over all the earth." 

There is one named JEHOVAH. This one is the MOST HIGH. If your God is associated with two equals he is not the JEHOVAH of the bible ,mental gymnastics notwithstanding. Thus any explanation of scripture, that does not preserve the superlative rank/nature of JEHOVAH is invalid.

John8:50KJV"And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth." 

What other reason could there possibly be for attempting to persuade ones fellowman that one is God almighty on earth, but to obtain glory for oneself. Thus it was either true that Jesus was trying to persuade his contemporaries that he was God on earth or he did not seek glory for himself, but both things could not simultaneously be true.

Numbers23:19KJV"God is not a man,that he should lie;neither the son of man,that he should repent..." 

JEHOVAH is immutable see Malachi 3:6. Thus if ones God is now or was ever a man he is not The JEHOVAH of scripture.
