Is Newton's scientific failure, a theological failure?

Following Arianism, Newton believed not the trinity doctrine. Could this have caused his narrow view of the classical mechanics? A genius of his time, Newton has many defenders of the latest generations to his humility in his physics principles.

To the least, could there be any relationship at all causing a narrow view between theology and his understanding of space and time.

I believe like many, Newton's scientific approach was based on hunches, clues and bread crumbs. The doctrine of trinity begins with the realm of revelation, a progressive one.

On the other hand, Newton wasn't too stubborn. For he pursued the unexplained in alchemy, forerunner of chemistry. Nonetheless, he was persistent enough to tackle the unexplained over all things until a resolution was found. Solutions must be found regardless. Such is the birth of narrow viewpoints. A scientific contradiction to that of Gauss, who would rest at Fermat's last enigma.

Such scientific approach, though incredibly remarkable, is shamed by that of the latest generations. It was unfortunate, that Newton, genuine enough to glorify God, had to bring his limited view on the universe to his grave. It was his limitation irrespectively. Together with the world of his era.

Worshiping God

You Shall not worship the Lord your God with such things (KJV)
Deu 12:4

你們不可照他們那樣事奉耶和華你們的神。

Read Deu 12:2-5

It is according to God. Not ourselves, the ways of worship.
Ergo, worshippers of God, Song/hymn writers, artists, builders, parents, leaders...beware.

My Computer

It seems that my P4 3.06Ghz computer's old problem is coming back.

I suspected motherboard at first. But after some hard thinking, I think I still need to boost up the power supply. I'm going for at least 600watts from 425watts.

I can't believe I traded 1GB pc3200 memory for a 512MB pc2700 memory last time because I thought the memory was the problem.

Conclusion: It's either the power supply or the motherboard(motherboard does seem defective, never could get floppy controller to work). But I'm going to go with power supply first. Need more power anyway.

Solitude

It seems that what many preachers' statement is right. A man of God is frequently making friend with loneliness.

The toughest lesson would be to introduce the love of Christ to such solitude. The failure would either be to bring in a different kind of love, or to have no love at all.

Predestination

Interestingly enough, eventhough John Wesley did not believe in predestination, he wrote: For if one's preaching brought no attack, either there was no devil in this world, or he [St. Patrick] did not preach the Gospel of Christ.<Journal 1748 April 25 Monday, pg. 348>

And yet, whoever objects to this statement wouldn't believe in predestination.

This quote from the journal of John Wesley is from the version that has his unpublished diaries and annotations and is not found in the CCEL version of Wesley's journal. I've downloaded it to my archive.

Excerpt: I never heard before of an apostle sleeping 35 years, and beginning to preach at three-score. But his success staggers me the most of all. No blood of the martyrs is here; no reproach, no scandal of the cross, no persecution to those that will live godly. Nothing is to be heard of, from the beginning to the end, but kings, nobles, warriors, bowing down before him. Thousands are converted, without any opposition at all; twelve thousand at one sermon. If these things were so, either there was then no devil in the world, or St. Patrick did not preach the gospel of Christ.

Although, it is unknown how Wesley felt about St. Patrick, such that this may not have been a negative critique by Wesley. Merely staggered. So maybe we all should think that the devil was asleep at the time of St. Patrick's 12,000 conversion. Although, by calling "no devil in the world" as the only other alternative, it seems that Wesley may want to blame Patrick for failure in the right gospel.

Christian Peril Today

事奉神者不信,
如亞拿尼亞之信.

不信之事奉神后而信,
乃神之恩,非不信之事奉之故.

One who does not believe in God is not required to serve in church, nor make offering. Because God is not a liar.

However, everyone is welcome to listen to the word of God. The truth.

The Reflection of History

It is remarkable how things that were once despised, have been promoted to admiration crossing the boundary of the forbidden.

In fact, it seems that all things that were once despised, would eventually become praised, if history is allowed to go on without divine force. This is a proof that rejects evolution. This is a proof of the fall of mankind.

War

A silent war is one of the most effective strategic warfare in this era.

It is a shame America does not see this now.

Having knowledge without a degree...there is a little regret;
having a degree without knowledge...what a great plenty of shame.

It is a great difference between a little and a plentiful.

--Quote from Dr. Stephen Tong.

Many times, the truth is bigger than you know it.
