It's up to you to disprove them.

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
That is Jesus, the Word, God's spokesman or representative, and God Himself.
Maybe English is not your mother tongue.
I can understand that.
Also, if you examine the god applied to Jesus in Greek, It means having divine qualities.
It does not translate as The God which refers to Jehovah God, our Creator.
The same Greek word, theos, is found at 2cor 4:4 refering to Satan.
So, logically, if theos makes Jesus a part of a trinity then it makes Satan also a part of that trinity. I don't believe that, do you?
Also, John 1:1 has no mention of a Holy Spirit. So it is not speaking of a trinity at all.

With good reason!
but if we love God and His Son, isn't it proper to show respect by capitalizing
Word to show that respect for God.
That capital does not change Jesus' standing as God's Representative.
