Every successive doctrine was essentially the response to a question, wrestled with and defined sometimes for more than one century. The divinity of Christ wasn't officially articulated until Nicaea (325AD).

Hmmm...My "truncated" bible has a different theme, thank you. His name is Jesus, and Jesus encompasses more than God's love. And not all mankind's destiny is to share in the "life in the Trinity". Many have been predestined to eternal destruction. Judas comes immediately to mind.
