"he walked by the sea of Galilee" - Christianity Launched at the End of the 4th Century?

Christianity Launched at the End of the 4th Century?

The ideology of Christianity that Christ Jesus was God and that "God is one God, but three coeternal consubstantial persons or hypostases—the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit—as 'one God in three Divine Persons'" was not established immediately after the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ Jesus.
By the end of the 4th century, under the leadership of Basil of Caesarea, Gregory of Nyssa, and Gregory of Nazianzus (the Cappadocian Fathers), the doctrine had reached substantially its current form.

So, it took  400 years after the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ Jesus that the Christian churches came to conclusion of the Trinity.  But this ideology is not easy to understand and not plain to ordinary people.  However, the Vatican requested people to confess that they believed this theory if they wanted to be Christians or members of the Christian churches.  This tradition has continued to date.  Most of Christians cannot understand the theory of the Trinity but are requested to believe it.

From the beginning, Christ Jesus did not come to this world to make people believe the Trinity.  Christ Jesus came to save poor people who could not even read and write.  He did not come to request them to understand a theory only well learnt people and scholars could consider.

The Vatican and the Christian churches, however, as a matter of fact, have come to accept people who cannot understand the theory in their churches, though, not as Christians but as future Christians.

How may percentages of Christians in the world can pass the test on understanding of the Trinity and related theories?  Maybe one percent!  But, the Vatican and the Christian churches still stick to the Trinity and related theories.  If you believe in God but do not believe that Jesus is God, or are unsure whether Jesus is God, you cannot be regraded as Christians.     

This is absurd.  It is as if Christianity had been launched at the end of the 4th century when the Trinity theory was fixed.  The Vatican and the Christian churches put the highest priority and importance on this ideology.  They should neglect or forget this issue before the teaching of God and Christ Jesus.

Mar 1:16 Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
Mar 1:17 And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.
