Acts 5:30
30The God of our fathers raised Jesus from the dead–whom you had killed by hanging him on a tree.
30The God of our fathers raised Jesus from the dead–whom you had killed by hanging him on a tree.
Here we see that Jesus died on a tree. Back then people were nailed to trees but trees were not everywhere, so people were nailed to stakes also. Not crosses which is a custom in pagan countries like Egypt.

The book The Non-Christian Cross, by John Denham Parsons, states: “There is not a single sentence in any of the numerous writings forming the New Testament, which, in the original Greek, bears even indirect evidence to the effect that the stauros used in the case of Jesus was other than an ordinary stauros; much less to the effect that it consisted, not of one piece of timber, but of two pieces nailed together in the form of a cross. . . . it is not a little misleading upon the part of our teachers to translate the word stauros as ‘cross’ when rendering the Greek documents of the Church into our native tongue, and to support that action by putting ‘cross’ in our lexicons as the meaning of stauros without carefully explaining that that was at any rate not the primary meaning of the word in the days of the Apostles, did not become its primary signification till long afterwards, and became so then, if at all, only because, despite the absence of corroborative evidence, it was for some reason or other assumed that the particular stauros upon which Jesus was executed had that particular shape.”—London, 1896, pp. 23, 24.

John 21:18 explains that Jesus' arm would be stretched but that doesn't mean that it was stretched in a T shape. Arms could have been stretched over the head.

John 14:28
28“You heard me say, ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.
28“You heard me say, ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.
Here Jesus says that Jehovah is greater then he is, disproving that God and Jesus are one in the same.

39Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”
39Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”
Here Jesus is clearly praying to another being, his Father, Jehovah.

The holy spirit can not be a person because here the spirit entered Elizabeth's womb.

King James Version has God's name in Exodus 6:3 but the New King James Version replaced Jehovah with Lord.
Also, American Standard Version holds God's name, Jehovah, in tact but the New American Standard Version replaced God's name with the title, Lord.
