I don't know much about him, and I hesitate to judge, as that is the province of YHVH. From what I read he sounded like a righteous person.

Funny you should mention Newton.
If you look at the panels of the work called 'A Rake's Progress' you might see a parallel to Newton's life.
Just remember that his first love was theology.
I found it interesting that twenty four men were executed for forgery under Newton's reign as currency manager.

Newton also believed it necessary to waggle a bodkin (needle for sewing leather) "'tween eyeball and socket", just to see what would happen. No, really.
Given this, and his lifelong dabblings with alchemy and quicksilver, and I think we can say he's probably not the soundest example of a rational theist to hold up in public.

he went along with the church so he wouldnt be killed. he didnt believe a great deal of what the church did, and it wasnt known until after his death that he thought this way. it was found in his journals and unpublished writings.
who are "The Annointed"? he could have been... he was a lot of things.

Absolutely ...He was led of God into great discoveries...
He was a fundamental Bible believer..
Isaac NEWTON.......and he wrote 1 million words about his LITERAL belief in the Scripture. He was a creationist.
" I have a fundamental belief in the Word of God....I study the Bible daily". - Isaac Newton
