Really couldn't say whether I would have or not with that verse and no knowledge of the Trinity....the situation didn't play out that way for me. Fortunately, I had many others verses supporting the Trinity; still, what sealed the deal for me was my expression of faith in the risen God Jesus Christ followed by the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit made manifest in my daily life that clarified who God the father, son and spirit are.
That makes so much emotional sense, but has nothing to do with scripture. So basically you are following your whims and desires. I understand this much. And to suit your whims and desires you are making up meanings to verses even though they clearly are nothing what you are portraying them as.
You are also ignoring the countless hundreds of verses which afirm Jesus as merely a man, a prophet, not knowing, not capable to do without God's permission, etc...
