We are commanded to “Rightly divide the word” (2 Tim 2:15), and to “Shun the traditions of men” (Col 2:8). Do you have the fortitude to do just that, especially when examining the doctrine of the Trinity?
My unorthodox approach will show how the Trinity doctrine lacks scriptural support. If it seemed to have solved the nature of God theologically, it has failed scripturally and logically.
My interest and, hopefully, yours, is to discover what God is saying, not what a system of theology says! Although the scriptures are profoundly deep, they are equally plain and simple to understand if we allow His Spirit and reason to guide us.

Trinitarians have no trouble believing that through one man, Adam, sin and death were passed on to all humans. But strangely, they find it troubling that God can produce another man, just like Adam (who isn't part of a Trinity), who can reverse everything by his own volition.
I will let you muse over this thought.
Do you ever think, what was the whole point of the old law? Why make a law that no one was able to keep? God knew it, yet kept it for a reason. The whole old covenant law was to tutor or lead us to Christ, the only valid human sacrifice.
"What purpose then does the law serve? It was added because of transgressions, till the Seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was appointed through angels by the hand of a mediator...the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith." (Gal 3:24 NKJV)
The old covenant law revealed the depth of human sin and the need for a "blood sacrifice" to remove it, pointing to the one-of-a-kind sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
"For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul." (Lev 17:11 NKJV)
"For this is My blood of the covenant, being poured out for many, for forgiveness of sins." (Matt 26:28 BLB)
The sacrifice, Jesus' life, could not be the second person of the Trinity. If it were, it would have nullified his sacrifice. Jesus had to be thoroughly human with no prior heavenly existence or incarnated whatsoever. The whole law was part of a legal transaction to remove sin, which God planned and executed so precisely.
No matter how you look at it, the trinitarians' incarnation makes God simulate His appearance as a man. It is in no way the same as being a real human like us. The old covenant law required a real "blood sacrifice" for the forgiveness of sins, one that precisely equalled Adam's life.
"And almost all things are purified with blood according to the Law, and apart from blood-shedding there is no forgiveness." (Heb 9:22 BLB)
Here's how the old law "tutored" or led us to the man, Jesus Christ, in a few steps:
Before the law, man was UNAWARE of whether there was a thing called sin or how God saw it. (Rom 7:7-8)
God formed a NATION with laws and sacrifices.
The law brought an AWARENESS of sin.
AWARENESS brought GUILT!
GUILT brought DEATH.
DEATH needed REMOVAL!
A blood SACRIFICE removes sin.
A SINLESS MAN makes a perfect sacrifice.
ANIMAL sacrifices covered, but not removed sins, until Christ appears.
The MAN JESUS was BORN.
The MAN JESUS was SACRIFICED.
God's JUSTICE was served (life for life, Christ's in place of Adam's).
Animal sacrifices were ceased.
SIN REMOVED!
REDEMPTION is obtainable by faith to all.
A new REBIRTH by the Spirit has begun.
God wonderfully produced a human Son, a second Adam, separate from the Father, who willingly and lovingly sacrificed His life for us.
Are you willing to acknowledge that Jesus Christ is God's sinless human Son, not God the Son?
