Consider how the New Testament presents what might be understood to be Jesus' divinity through a combination of explicit statements, implicit teachings, and narrative accounts. While there are numerous passages in the New Testament that affirm what could be understood as Jesus' divinity, any emphasis on his divinity may not always be as systematic or doctrinal as it is in Trinitarian theology. Has the Trinity dogma eclipsed this message that Jesus is the man who mediates for mankind with God? John 1:1 mentions original divinity of the Word but does not directly apply this to the word made flesh, Jesus. Paul alluded to divinity of Jesus at some level in some sense by stating he was in the form of God. Mankind is stated in Genesis as originally being in the form of God, and other scriptures state that this is still the case, that we are in God’s image, so does Paul saying Jesus was in the form of God imply divinity any more than humans, especially believing saints, have in general. Trinitarian theology, on the other hand, heavily emphasises Jesus having shared homoousios, a word it invented to convey a substantive nature which is the same as God’s nature in many ways. This is far greater an emphsis on a far more explicit and systematic concept of divinity such that it needed a new word. Is this eclipsing the true message of God which comes through the Holy Spirit that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh?
