If you were even remotely familiar with the Tanak, then you would have seen the literally THOUSANDS of verses, by the divinely inspired prophets, stating how the Jews improperly worshipped God.
The OT is one gigantic lesson in how NOT to worship God....with only the remnant allowed to move forward while the rest were utterly destroyed.
You need to be asking yourself what method of worship was employed by the FEW that were allowed to advance into the future....how was it different than the majority.
Hint: is was Triune worship....
In the beginning was the word. Prior to the KJV the "word" was not capitalized because the "word" was believed to be the spoken word of God, as in "Let there be light"
The "word" was also indicated by the impersonal "it" rather than "him"
1:1
In the beginning was that word, and that word was with god: and god was that word.
1:2The same was in the beginning with god.
1:3
All things were made by it, and without it, was made no thing, that made was
W Tyndale Bible
THE NEW TESTAMENT (Tyndale, Rogers, Coverdale, Cranmer) : John
You can see that "word" is not capitalized and it says "it" rather than "he" when referring to the "word."
Tyndale believed that the "word" referred to the utterance of God, [Let there be Light ...for example] rather than a person. The "word" metaphorically became flesh in the person of Jesus who became God's spokesman.

Re: Flimsy research...
You are sounding like a follower of islam.....its OK to quote scripture that you think is corrupt, when it suits your position...and then when the going gets tough, you say that it cannot be trusted.
That's pretty sweet.
Thankfully, the Koran comes to the rescue and confirms that The Son knows the hour...simply more extra-Biblical confirmation to the correct rendering...

Jesus just didn’t know the timeline. Good evidence that he is not God because God knows everything.
I agree that it is pathetic that Trinitarians edited Scripture to suit their agenda.
Fortunately we have another witness that says Jesus did not know the timeline. Only the True God knows.

yet we know the Son who is also the alpha and omega the 1st and the last like the Father died for mankind not the Father nor the Holy Ghost died interesting is that 
A knowledge of Bible names reveal that individuals used "god names" without being God.
It was a common practice.
Philippians 2:8-11 (New American Standard Bible)
8Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
9For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name,
10so that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
""""God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name,"""
When Jesus was faithful in carrying out God's plan by being a sacrifice God bestowed his own name and titles on Jesus as a reward for his service.
Paul on the Trinity
Paul makes an interesting statement at Romans 1:19,20
because that which is known about God is evident among them; for since the creation of the world his invisible attributes, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made….
If what Paul writes here is true this creates a problem for those who believe in the trinity..
How come there is no mention of the trinity in any writings until the 5[SUP]th[/SUP] century if God’s nature was known since the creation of the world?
If God’s nature was known since the creation of the world, how come God’s chosen people, the Jews didn’t seem to know anything about a trinity?
How come none of the prophets in the Hebrew scriptures ever warns Israel about the trinity in any of the prophetic writings? The prophets seem to cover every other topic but they never say …. Stop believing in just ONE GOD and believe in the trinity.

23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
