    christianity.stackexchange.com/questions/40488

    Newton traced the doctrine of the trinity back to Athanasius (298- 373); he became convinced that before Athanasius the Church had no trinitarian doctrine.

    Isaac Newton figured a 29 AD baptism, and counted 5 passovers, and concluded 34 AD. Many favored a 30 AD date after that, but popularity of the traditional 33 AD date is on the rise. In my opinion, probably April 3rd, 33 AD at around 3:00pm local time fits the best.

    1 Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied. 2 Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you.”. 12 “Do not lay a hand on the boy,” he said. “Do not do ...

    Early scientists seem to have agreed with this view. If it's permitted to quote such a secular source, Isaac Newton's masterwork of mathematics and science, the Principia, starts with an ode by Edmund Halley with the lines: “Here ponder too the Laws which God, Framing the universe, set not aside But made the fixed foundations of his work.”

    It’s always God’s intention for Abraham to be set apart from the inhabitants of the land, which includes no intermarry covenant wt Canaanites. Not only for Abraham’s covenanted son Isaac but also for the whole nation of Israel (Deu 7:1–6). This explained why Isaac & Rebekah were disgusted wt living because of Esau’s Hittites wives.

The date was still hotly disputed, however; John Lightfoot, an eminent Hebrew scholar at Cambridge, believed the Creation took place at 9 a.m. on the day of the equinox and not, as Ussher suggested, the previous evening.

    In "An Historical Account of Two Notable Corruptions of Scripture", Isaac Newton argued that 1 John 5:7 was a corruption of the early church and did not appear in the original Greek scriptures.

    1. We also find in the account of Abraham and Isaac at Mt Moriah that Abraham told Isaac that God Himself would provide a "Lamb" when Isaac asked about the burnt offering. By this we know Abraham was speaking prophetically of a future time when God would offer up His Son/Lamb because, what was provided at that point in time was a "Ram" caught ...
