Where do you get this from? I've read Newton on the book of Daniel and on the book of Revelation, he was Christian. He specifically says that if the Pharisees were to be blamed for not recognizing the signs of the times related to Christ, how much more will we be to blame after Christ for not recognizing the signs . . . etc. Think you got this nogahide (sounds like a couch) stuff derivatively, not from actually reading Newton. He was a Christian, Bible believing . . . from his treatise on Revelation "And in a word it was the ignorance of the Jews in these Prophecies which caused them to reject the Messiah and by consequences to be not only captivates by the Romans, but to incur eternal damnation."
That's roughly my understanding as well.
Isaac Newton was fairly private about his faith - but he certainly was a God fearing man, and he he had a genuine belief that Jesus Christ was the Messiah and that a belief on HIM, and HIS Saving work, was necessary for Salvation...Where it gets fuzzier, and I've not found any direct quotes from Mr. Newton that would convince me one way or the other, is whether or not he accepted Trinitarianism and the Divinity of Jesus, or whether Mr. Newton tended towards the JW (Arianists, or Socianists) viewpoint...
Yes, he was a devout Christian. Cf. Westfall’s biography, Never At Rest, ( I have the abridged version. ) He read the writings of the early church fathers extensively, and took up in favor of the Arian heresy. That is, he rejected the doctrine of the Trinity, and quite obsessively.
