And I have discussed this number of times before. He has made it clear accepting the Trinity is a nonstarter for him.
Remember, he thinks Bible study is a problem. He thinks he gets all his information straight from the Holy Spirit.

When you don't understand what I write you go back to an old subject as if that would fix everything. Why not back to your knees before God and wait on Him?

To CoreIssue I guess that is how he remembers or concludes or understood what I said. What I have meant is that I do not embrace the Trinity or anything else simply because any other man or men have done so or do so. I have told @CoreIssue plainly that I have never rejected the Trinity. I still don't. But neither will I teach or endorse something that I do not see.
I also do not see Bible study as a problem. I have been reading and studying the Bible for many years. What I have said to
@CoreIssue and others is that Bible study alone will NOT lead us to truth. Study of the Bible as I see it partaking of the flesh of Jesus as He told us to do [John 6:53]. This must be accompanied by partaking of his blood, which I see as the Holy Spirit, the blood of the Body of Christ. The dead flesh consumed is to the spiritual new man as the flesh of a cow we eat in a hamburger. Within our carnal body of flesh the beef will become a part of us being brought to life. Similarly the dead flesh eaten/consumed by parts of the Body of Christ [you and me] is brought to Life by the spiritual blood, [the Holy Spirit]. This is the necessary growth of each part of the Body of Christ, each part being subjected to Head [Jesus] of that Body. It is all coming together... whether we are a part of it... or not.
Study of the scriptures alone without the quickening of the Spirit is a weariness of the flesh [Ecc 12:12]. Study is necessary and is strongly suggested or commanded, but as manner of obedience, NOT in order to learn [although with Holy Spirit involvement learning may occur:
"Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." II Tim 2:15
Note that it reads, "Study to", to what? "to show thyself approved"... not to learn! The learning is seen in this verse:
"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." John 14:26

Well no one but you can live for God for you. You must follow according to your own heart and the Bible if that is where you are in this.
Even you must recognize that the black and white words of the Bible are not so clear to every situation that every one reading will receive precisely the same message. Sometimes the reason is that one person is quenching the Holy Spirit and following instead his own head.
