	An Historical Account of Two Notable Corruptions of Scripture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An Historical Account of Two Notable Corruptions of Scripture is a dissertation by the English Mathematician and Scholar Isaac Newton.
		As late as 1698 the Act for the Suppression of Blasphemy and Profaneness made it an offense to deny one of the persons of the Trinity to be God, punishable with loss of office, employment and profit on the first occasion, and imprisonment for a repetition.
		In 1697 Thomas Aikenhead, an eighteen-year-old student charged with denying the Trinity, was hanged at Edinburgh, Scotland.

		It is known that he purchased prisms and lenses on two or three several occasions, and also chemicals and a furnace, apparently for chemical experiments; but he also employed part of his time on the theory of fluxions and other branches of pure mathematics.
		The first contains an explanation of the doctrine of fluxions, and of its application to the quadrature of curves; the second, a classification of seventy-two curves of the third order, with an account of their properties.
		He accordingly drew up an abstract of the system from his papers, and sent it to the princess for her own private use; but he afterwards allowed a copy to be made for the Abbe Conti on the express understanding that it should not be communicated to any other person.

		An impressed force is an action exerted upon a body, in order to change its state, either of rest, or of moving uniformly forward in a straight line.
		By the first two Laws and the first two Corollaries, Galileo discovered that the descent of bodies observed the duplicate ratio of the time, and that the motion of projectiles was in the curve of a parabola.
		These give an account of such things as are of more general nature, which philosophy seems chiefly to be founded on—such as the density and the resistance of bodies, spaces void of all bodies, and the motion of light and sounds.

		Any formulation of an article of faith which does not insist that God is solitary, that divides worship between God and any other, or that imagines God coming into existence rather than being God eternally, is not capable of directing people toward the knowledge of God, according to the trinitarian understanding of the Old Testament.
		The scriptural question, however, was sufficiently important to 16th century historical figures such as Michael Servetus as to lead them to argue the question.
		Catholic doctrine became firmly rooted in the soil of Hellenism; and thus an essentially pagan idea was forcibly imposed on the churches beginning with the Constantinian period.

	Newton and the Bible
		In 1690 Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727) wrote a manuscript on the corruption of the text of the New Testament concerning I John 5:7 and Timothy 3:16.
		It was entitled, "A Historical Account of Two Notable Corruptions of Scripture." Due to the prevailing environment against criticism, he felt it unwise to profess his beliefs openly and felt that printing it in England would be too dangerous.
		Two years later, Newton was informed of an attempt to publish a Latin translation of it anonymously.

		When Newton was two, his mother remarried and went to live with her new husband, leaving her son in the care of his grandmother.
		He discovered Newton's identities, Newton's method, classified cubic plane curves (polynomials of degree three in two variables), made substantial contributions to the theory of finite differences, and was the first to use fractional indices and to employ coordinate geometry to derive solutions to Diophantine equations.
		He devoted more time to the study of the Scriptures, the Fathers, and to Alchemy than to science, and said, "I have a fundamental belief in the Bible as the Word of God, written by those who were inspired.

	'Acceptable to inquisitive men': some Simonian contexts for Newton's Biblical Criticism, 1680-1692' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		The 'historical account', dealt as its title intimated, with 'two notable corruptions of scripture': Newton's letters were contrived and presented as studies in textual criticism not as theological polemic, 'tis no article of faith, no point of discipline, nothing but a criticism concerning a text of scripture wch I am going to write about'.
		Although a reader might not be competant to assess Simon's account of this or that linguistic obscurity, or would almost certainly be unable to consult the old manuscripts he cited, it would be clear, simply from the bulk of his discussion, that the assumption that Scripture was singular, inerrant and universal was no longer tenable.
		Indeed it is not an exaggeration to suggest that Simon was deliberately calculating advice to cultivate a practice of private reading and criticism: this is a model that Locke and Newton would have recognised and embraced as supporting and validating their own activity.

	Biography of Isaac Newton, by Braden MacDonald
		His Law of Universal Gravitation was the first to successfully apply a mathematic definition to gravity, saying the the gravitational force between two objects was directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
		In any case, these two men are credited with laying the foundations for modern calculus, which is used today in almost every branch of science and engineering, as well as many fields of medicine and business.
		His unpublished An Historical Account of Two Notable Corruptions of Scripture identified how two verses often used for defending a traditional view of the Trinity (I John 5:7, 1 Timothy 3:16) had been changed in certain manuscripts from the original inspired text.

		Historically, the lack of an explicit scriptural basis for the Trinity was viewed as a disquieting problem,{{fact}} and there is evidence indicating that one mediaeval Latin writer, while purporting to quote from the First Epistle of John, inserted a passage now known as the Comma Johanneum which explicitly references the Trinity.
		It may have begun as a marginal note quoting a homily of Cyprian that was inadvertently taken into the main body of the text by a copyist.
		They believe this view to be supported by New Testament scriptures, including the circumstances surrounding the baptism of Jesus ({{sourcetextsource=Bible (King James)book=Matthewchapter=3verse=16range=-17}}) and Christ's prayers to God.

		Historically, the lack of a clear scriptural basis for the Trinity was viewed as a disquieting problem, and one mediaeval forger added a passage now known as the Comma Johanneum into the First Epistle of John explicitely referencing the trinity.
		Erasmus, the compiler of the Textus Receptus, noticed that the passage was not found in any of the ancient manuscripts, but was forced by the religious authorities to continue to include it.
		However, the issue is usually not controversial among them because their conception is often less exact than is discussed above (exceptions being the Presbyterian Westminster Confession 2:3, the London Baptist Confession 2:3, and the Lutheran Augsburg Confession 1:1-6, which specifically address those issues).

		Justin Martyr says "just as we see also happening in the case of a fire, which is not lessened when it has kindled another, but remains the same; and that which has been kindled by it likewise appears to exist by itself, not diminishing that from which it was kindled.
		Thus Christ is Spirit of Spirit, and God of God, as light of light is kindled." This form of thought about the Essence of the Trinity was eventually expanded upon at the First Council of Nicaea and became what is known as the Nicene Creed to combat Arianism.
		In fact, while the oldest traditions hold that it is impossible to speculate concerning the being of God (see apophatic theology), yet those same traditions are particularly attentive to Trinitarian formulations, so basic to mere Christian faith is this doctrine considered to be.
