Certainly there were early Christians who didn't think Jesus was God, and this was corrected to fall in line with what most understood from the bible... and that's entirely supported in the texts. Trinity is never mentioned, but God the multiple yet one entity was described as such consistently.
At no time is the trinty doctrine described with any consitancy. In John, Jesus is referred to as the logos or "word" of God. This in itself is inconsistant with the current Trinity doctrine. We also know gospel texts were doctored to removed reference that Jesus was lesser than god the father. God as a multiple entity was most likely references to multiple gods.
