I think in all that word spaghetti, you cited that the one God exists in three persons. Saying the same thing I did in a more complicated way, that half of which you can't possibly know for certain.
I know for certain because God gave me this doctrine by way of revelation.

Eph 3:3, How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,
Eph 3:4, Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)

But you are definitely correct in assessing that what I am saying is in fact in conjunction with the doctrine of the Trinity.

...............In the beginning was Jesus, and Jesus was with God, and Jesus was God.
.

Yet you forget that in the first instance of the Word God in this compound sentence the definite article "the" (hos) appears in the original language.

so it says in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with the God, and the Word was God! Letting us know in part one of the sentence that the Word and God are speerate entities while in the second part the Word shares the same essence as "the God".

My question to you is this:

Paul was given that revelation for it had not been revealed prior.

Why would God spend time giving you a revelation that is clearly spelled out in His Word? All one has to do is study to show ones self approved tro learn what you said you got by direct revelation apart from SCripture!

No; I got the revelation through the reading of holy scripture; as I believe that Paul also got his revelation through the reading of holy scripture.

Another apostate
Typical misunderstanding and accusations
Just cause some of us dont follow a harlot does not make us apostate .
Soon enough more and more house churches will begin . cause i am gonna warn as many as i can
to flee any mainstream church that is going with the flow of the world and rome .

I would suggest that you read Fifty Years in the Church of Rome to get a real insight into this church. This is written by an actual Catholic priest.
I have found something common in all who were part of something false . Once they really began to study the scripture
they started to realize , ooops our group is dooped . That man needs an all out return to the scriptures .
Allow me to use the words of a man who was once dug quite deep into Rome .
This man admitted early on He did not really study the scrips at all .
Anyway , a problem arose . This man became curious as to why THE CHURCH persecuted this one group so harshly .
SO , determined to see who was right he began digging into the scriptures . Feasting daily on them .
Would you like to hear his own words .
HE said , it did not take long before i realized , IT WAS WE who were wrong , we had been decieved by the mother catholic church .
SHE IS deadly my friend . We must do all to warn them to return to bibles and start studying the word for their own sake .
The mother is swallowing up everything now . And we must not be a partaker of her deeds , nor join her in unity .
YES , its gonna cost us my friend . BUT better is it to suffer and or even die for CHRIST than to follow a lie .
To follow another gospel or another jesus . WE MUST learn the BIBLCAL ONE . FEAST on those bibles my friends . AND LEARN CHRIST well
and all sound doctrine well .

no biblical mandate or authority for house churches

I agree with opposing the spirit of the world

What? It was Jesus claiming to be one with Yahweh!
No, all he said in the verse was that he was speaking someone else's words. US ambassadors do that, but are not tactually you and me.

Give 1 verse prior to Thomas' of some person telling Jesus that he is God?

There is no verse that says this, including the verse in question. An atheist admitted using the expression 'my God' but denied it was a statement of faith or pronouncement of reality.

Have a blessed day.

So Thomas was really saying "OMG" or something like that?

Perhaps this statement needs to be expanded on for Ronald Nolette seems to have taken offense.
Okay.

A person that skips Acts 2:38 is an official Acts skipper.

They are offended by Peter.
