Is the Trinity valid?

So I started reading about Todd White, which lead me to another false teacher you mentioned, then to the Trinity. I noticed you take a hard line against it. Implying that it's a false teaching and saying that the scriptures used to validate it aren't found until later on, which I'm sure you're talking about 1 John 5:7 where the Bible says, "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one" which came about after the "Council of Nicaea" in 325AD so I wanted to ask a few questions regarding some scriptures.
Matthew 3:17 "And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased"
Matthew 17:5 " While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
Like verses in Mark, Luke etc.
Additionally, Acts 7:55-56; Romans 8:34; Ephesians 1:20; Colossians 3:1; Hebrews 1:3, 8:8, 10:12,12:2; 1 Peter 3:22, Revelations 3: 21; Matthew 22:44; Acts 2:33
Which all talk about Jesus sitting at the right hand of God. How's that possible unless they're different entities within One, such as the Trinity suggest?
Furthermore, in 1 John 2:1 "My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:"
This is a description as I'm sure your well aware of like a court room setting. We have a judge (the Father) the lawyer (Jesus Christ) and The Offender (us, as sinners). In all these instances, Jesus is spoken of separately, apart from the Father. Is that not correct?
