These points have been discussed here before. 
As said before, bring forth ALL of the gospels, not just those
handpicked by the Nicean Council, and let people decide which are true
and which are not.

The Nicean Council did not choose the gospels.  The books of
the NT were formerly accepted after the Nicean Council.  You can
read the books that did not make it into the Canon on the
Internet.  Most of them compliment the NT on the important issues,
that he died and rose again; others make Jesus more divine than the
Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.  Others were written much
too late to be considered canon and were Gnostic.  Gnosticism was
in full force in the mid-second century.  One has Jesus bringing a
child back to life, one has Jesus speaking as an infant and saying that
he is the Son of God and the Savior of the World, one has Jesus making
life from clay, one says that his bathwater as an infant was capable of
making miracles.

Obviously this cannot be done, because they contradict. So,
somewhere, something was changed. Even theologians who study the
ancient texts agree that changes have been made. One word can change
the meaning of a whole chapter.

See above.  There have been scribal errors, glosses and the
like.  All can be traced and corrected.  A good Bible will
note what is not in an early manuscript.  All information is
available.  Nothing affects Christian doctrine.  In addition,
the Gospel we have today is the same one be had before Muhammad was
born.

And whether or not you believe that the Quran was speaking
explicitly of the interpretation of the gospels, that should be enough.
No where in the Old Testament or the New Testament does it state Jesus
is God, or that there is a trinity. These concepts were added later.

No, Mishmish, they were not "added later."  The concept is
there in the Scriptures.  All of Jesus' apostles believed that he
was divine; even the Jews believed that Jesus was claiming
divinity.  The puzzle was, "How can that be?"

Jesus never said he was God. If this is not a corruption of what Jesus said, then it is at the least a fabrication.

Haven't we been on this merry-go-round before?

You ask why wasn't Allah specific when saying the Jews called Uzair
a son of God, well, I ask why didn't God say that he is a trinity.

I asked you first. lol  I think that God gave us quite a few
clues as to His tri-une nature.  God gives us as much as we can
understand depending on the circumstances.  The people in the
early days of the Hebrew scriptures were having enough trouble
believing that there was only one God, let alone the nature of that one
God.

Why didn't Jesus say that he was God?

He did by the claims that he made.

In the Quran, God says in no uncertain terms, there is only one God.

The Bible says in no uncertain terms that there is only on God.  Christians believe this.

 Mishmish wrote:

Jesus was not my son, literally or figuratively, nor was he a God or the God.

Then how do you explain that God calls King David His son?  If
Allah is YHVH, then we have a major contradiction.  YHVH calls all
of Israel His "son."

 Mishmish wrote:

Nor is there a trinity. This is stated very clearly.

The Qur'an says "don't say three," it does not say "trinity." 
Trinity was an added word by translators.  Where in the Qur'an
does it define the true believe of Christians and condemn it?

I believe the Bible also states very clearly that there is only One
God. That you should not make anything or anyone equal to God. But, it
does not state clearly anywhere that Jesus is God, or that God is a
trinity. Why hasn't God made this clear?

Answered above.
