 I find it interesting that in your analysis of John 1 you stop right before the verses which clearly identify the Word from verse 1 as Jesus the Christ. I'll post in the KJV since it seems to be your preferred version.

14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. 15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me. 16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. 17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

The Holy Bible: King James Version, Electronic Edition of the 1900 Authorized Version., (Bellingham, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc., 2009), Jn 1:14–17. 
 I did not intentionally leave out anything. I left nothing to to be misunderstood. I certainly didn't delete the verse from the Bible. "The word was made flesh" is plainly clear with the clarification of the previous verses. If you can't see it for yourself, its not up to me to illuminate it further.

If you go so far as to accuse me of being dishonest, I'm happy to shake the dust off of my feet and move on. 
 I did not intend to imply you leaving it out intentionally. However I do agree that verse 14 is clarified by the previous verses, which makes it even more apparent that John is declaring clearly that Jesus is divine and is Himself God. Whether you want to say it is Trinitarian or not we could discuss a different time. However I would say this is clearly referring to the Jewish 2 powers in Heaven doctrine which describes God as 2 persons. 
 Lets not get into wacky Jewish Talmudic doctrines. Its not a question of whether our Father, God the creator, has two or three heads. Its all ridiculous on its face. What is important is whether we have access to God, through Jesus Christ through faith that Christ is our Lord.
I primarily provide my analysis as evidence that my profession of faith isn't arbitrary or unfounded. I come from a heritage of trinitarianism and would never have dared believe anything different. It wasn't until I prayed to know the truth that it was revealed to me, and for this I am grateful, and I've found through this and other elucidations of scripture that a fuller, stronger and less confounding believing is possible. 
 It wasn't actually a Talmudic doctrine. It was held by the Israelites all the way back into the first temple period. But I agree, we can set it aside.

And I agree. The primary message of the Bible does not depend on Trinitarian doctrines. However I do believe it to be important for deeper understanding of our creator. But we will have all of eternity to get to know Him better and I guarantee we will all be wrong about something and will learn better when we see Him face to face. 
 I think all we need to know is that he is our Father and he loves us more than we can fathom 
 I think we also need to know that we are sinners incapable of living up to His standard and yet He provided a way for us to live with Him for eternity regardless of our failings. 
 Before we are saved, yes. After we are saved through Christ, we can strive to perfection. 
 Yes, we strive for perfection. However we will never reach it this side of our resurrection. 
 Exactly 
 Yes, Confession is key.

"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9)

We are not righteous in ourselves or our deeds:
"as it is written, “There is none righteous , not even one ;" (Romans 3:10)

All of our righteousness comes from Jesus:
"He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." (2 Corinthians 5:21)
