Newton Arianism
==Regarding Newton's supposed Arianism==
I have been reading Newton's writings lately and believe the case for Newton's supposed Arianism to be weak. The greatest supposed evidence for his Arianism seems to be because of his association with William Whiston. "Artic. 9. We need not pray to Christ to intercede for us. If we pray the father aright he will intercede."
Isaac Newton probably held to an Eastern Orthodox view of the trinity.

I am not changing anything yet, but my (christian) science book says that Newton had a firm belief in God, but denied the Trinity, and the Deity of Christ. Not exactly the beliefs of a "devout Christian" --[[User:TimSvendsen|TimSvendsen]] 20:41, 6 March 2007 (EST)
