Also, the trinity wasn't written in stone. If you're really familiar with church history, you will probably know about Arianism.
You don't have an understanding of the christian doctrine of the Trinity. Jesus was fully God and fully man. By becoming man Jesus allowed himself to be subject to the same conditions that we all face. Jesus, the man, died and was raised from the dead with a physical body, just as will all believers. The doctrine of the Trinity is arrived from the totality of the scriptures, not by a single statement or verse. Just saying that there were heresies, such as Arianism, only shows that there were factions within the church who disagreed with orthodox christianity. There are similar factions today. The fact that Arianism existed doesn't validate an assumption that Jesus was not God and man.
