Simon Brown.

Welcome to my blog and YouTube channel! 🌟 I'm Simon Brown, an ordinary guy who's been on an extraordinary journey. Growing up with a tough childhood, I didn't have much formal education, but I did have a calling – a calling from God. After experiencing miracles and becoming a Christian, I spent 10 years as a Trinitarian, debating with scholars, atheists, and scientists. That's when my research began, and I've documented it all here. My passion is sharing biblical truth, inspired by Jesus' words: "Seek and you will find." I've traveled to the Holy Land, digging for answers, and what I've found has changed me. Archaeology proves the Bible, and the devil's deception is real (Revelation 12:9). My goal is to help truth seekers, those hungry for God's word, see the truth. The Trinity doctrine, adopted in the 4th century, isn't biblical – it's a deception. As Ephesians 5:11 says, "Expose them!" Join me on this journey. Let's seek the truth together! 💡 Proverbs 8:34-36 Blessed is the man who hears me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at my door posts. For whoever finds me finds life, and will obtain favor from Yahweh. But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul. All those who hate me love death.” Psalm 84: 11 For Yahweh God is a sun and a shield. Yahweh will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly. 12 Yahweh of Armies, blessed is the man who trusts in you. 1 John 5:5 Now who is the one overcoming the world, except the one believing that Jesus is the Son of God.

What Did Sir Isaac Newton Really Believe About God, Christ, and the Trinity?

What did Sir Isaac Newton really believe about God, Jesus Christ, and the Trinity? This study examines Newton's own manuscripts, biblical convictions, and historical writings to discover the beliefs of one of history's greatest scientists.


What Did Sir Isaac Newton Really Believe About God, Christ, and the Trinity?

One of History's Greatest Scientists Was Also a Dedicated Student of the Bible

Many people today claim that science has disproved belief in God. Yet the history of science tells a very different story. Many of the greatest scientists who laid the foundations of modern scientific discovery believed that the universe was the work of an intelligent Creator rather than the product of blind chance.

One of the greatest examples is Sir Isaac Newton (1642–1727). Remembered as one of history's greatest scientists, Newton revolutionised mathematics, astronomy, and physics. His discoveries in gravity, motion, optics, and calculus transformed the scientific world and continue to influence science today.

What many people do not realise, however, is that Newton devoted even more time to studying the Bible than he did to scientific research. He regarded Scripture as God's inspired revelation and believed that understanding God's Word was of greater importance than any scientific discovery.

Newton famously wrote:

"Gravity explains the motions of the planets, but it cannot explain who set the planets in motion. God governs all things and knows all that is or can be done."

To Newton, science did not replace God—it revealed His wisdom. The more he discovered about the order and precision of the universe, the more convinced he became that creation pointed to an intelligent Designer.


Newton's Beliefs About God and Jesus Christ

Newton's private manuscripts reveal that he rejected many of the doctrines that later became central to mainstream Christianity. He concluded that the doctrine of the Trinity was not taught by Jesus or His apostles but developed gradually after the apostolic age.

According to Newton's own writings:

  • God the Father alone is the one true God.

  • Jesus Christ is God's Messiah, His only begotten Son.

  • The Father is greater than the Son.

  • Jesus receives His authority from the Father.

  • The doctrine of the Trinity was introduced centuries after the New Testament was written.

Newton wrote:

"The word God is nowhere in the Scriptures used to signify more than one of the three persons at once."

He also stated:

"Whenever it is said in the Scriptures that there is but one God, it is meant the Father."

Newton believed that these conclusions came directly from a careful reading of Scripture rather than from later church tradition.


Newton and the Early Church

Newton became convinced that Christianity had gradually departed from its original simplicity. He believed many later theological developments were influenced by philosophy rather than the Bible itself.

He argued that the earliest believers worshipped the Father as the one true God while honouring Jesus as God's Messiah and Son. In his view, later church councils introduced doctrines that could not be plainly established from Scripture.

Newton even described the doctrine of the Trinity as a corruption of the original Christian faith and believed that it became firmly established only after the fourth century.


A Lifetime Devoted to Scripture

Although Newton's scientific discoveries made him world-famous, he spent much of his life studying biblical prophecy, Church history, Hebrew, chronology, and the original meaning of Scripture.

His theological writings filled well over a million words—more than he wrote on science.

Newton believed Christians should never accept religious traditions without first examining the Bible for themselves. He encouraged every believer to search the Scriptures carefully and to follow wherever the evidence led, regardless of popular opinion.

As he wrote:

"Search the Scriptures yourself... if you desire to find the truth."
