Why don't you just start with picking one or two points to examine or challenge and summarize what you think and believe about it.

First off: "All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness--." (2Timothy 3:16) Italics added for emphasis.

Then some verses:
"Listen, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah." (Deuteronomy 6:4) [New World Translation, and I'll use that for everything] Italics my own addition.

"But he, being full of holy spirit, gazed into heaven and caught sight of God's glory and of Jesus standing at God's right hand, and he said: "Look! I behold the heavens opened up and the Son of man standing at God's right hand."" (Acts 7:55,56) Two separate, clearly. More about that:
"And going a little way forward, he fell upon his face, praying and saying: "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me. Yet, not as I will, but as you will."" (Matthew 26:39) If Jesus was same as God, then wouldn't his will been the same as God's? Why did he say that then?

"Also, in your own law it is written, 'The witness of two men is true.' I am one that bears witness about myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness about me." (John 8:17,18) That was Jesus answering to some pharisees. Italics added.

Anyway: ""Concerning that day or the hour nobody knows, neither the angels in heaven nor the Son, but the Father."" (Mark 13:32) If they were the same, then why doesn't Jesus know?

And: "--If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going my way to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am." (John 14:28) Italics my addition.

""Father, -- this means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ."" (John 17:1-3) Italics added.

"'-- I am ascending to my Father and Father and to my God and your God.'" (John 20:17) God is always referred to as Father and Jesus as Son.

"Keep this mental attitude in you that was also in Christ Jesus, who, although he was existing in God's form, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God." (Philippians 2:5,6)

This gets used a lot, doesn't it? "In [the] beginning the Word was, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a god." (John 1:1)
Word in greek Lo'gos. The'os God. First The'os is with a definite article ho, making it like in English 'the God'. The second the'os is not preceded with ho making it more 'a god'. This could also be translated as 'the Word was godly'.

And a bit more: "Before the mountains themselves were born, Or you proceeded to bring forth as with labor pains the earth and the productive land, Even from time indefinite to time indefinite you are God." (Psalms 90:2) God has always been, has no beginning, no end. Now vs this:
"He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation--." (Colossians 1:15) That's about Jesus, who had a beginning. Jehovah created him.

And... one more: "Moreover, no man has ascended into heaven but he that descended from heaven, the Son of Man." (John 3:13)
