When you actually KNOW what the Bible says, and talk to others who also KNOW what the Bible says, you can discuss things with people even from very dofferent backgrounds, and find agreement.

You get the big disagreements from people who don't actually know the Bible, but just the "Dogma" of their religious community. These are not really beleivers or possibly not even really "Christians" that Christ will take in the last day.

Many churches differ on the trinity.

Right, and just like you point out that many people may claim to be "Christians" but are not living a "Christian Life", many churches have also formed based on wrong ideas about the Bible.

 I trust God to let me know.
 When you let the TRUE God guide you, he will lead you into truth.
 Of course, the hard part is initially finding the right path to be on.
 He leaves enough hints to find it if you are willing to honestly look, but leaves open the option to not see if you don't want.

I have been a consequentialist (like Christ) since I first
studied the truth behind religion in 1992. I did not know its
name until 2016 when a Muslim friend of mine that I prayed
with told me about this from a college course he was taking.
I have always rejected the "do as you are told" form of morality
that told Abraham to kill is son Isaac. My measure has always
been benevolent outcomes are on the correct side of righteousness
and malevolent outcomes are on the wrong side.
