| − | 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."

That is, we are '''to worship the father alone as God Almighty and Jesus alone as the Lord the Messiah the great King the Lamb of God who was slain and hath redeemed us with his blood and made us kings and Priests.'''"

| | 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.
