  1. FALSE SUPPOSITIONS “…and constant friction between men of depraved mind and deprived of truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain.” (I Tim. 6:5

  2. “Corkscrew” Minds • Minds that can’t get anything straight. • Did Paul say gain is a way of godliness, or godliness is a means of gain? • “Better to have 2 ideas and know them well than a dozen that are confused and chaotic.” • “A bird in the bush…” Well, you know what I mean. • Job. 40:1

  3. Know Clearly • Luke 19:10, “The Son of Man came into the world to seek and save the lost…” • Begin some where. Learn with certainty. Then add something. • Where ever you begin, just begin.

  4. I Tim. 4:8 • “Bodily exercise profiteth little.” • Or, “Bodily exercise profiteth a little.” • What is the apostle really saying in the context? • Are we curious?

  5. John 20:11-16 • A woman crying and sobbing – sees a man • “supposing him to be the gardener…” • Where did you put Jesus. • She sought a dead Christ, and almost missed the Living One. • When we try to see thru tears, or excitement, or exhaustion – we don’t see clearly.

  6. Acts 2 • “Supposing them to be drunk…” • We can explain away in a ridiculous fashion that which we have trouble accepting. • Eli, “supposed” Hannah to be drunk – I Sam. 1:12ff. • Do we ever falsely accuse someone because we “suppose” without gaining the facts first.

  7. An Ever Present Problem • “I’m disappointed in the church, I thought everyone would be perfect (better).” • I thought when I was baptized I’d have peace, and no more temptations. • “I supposed…” • Corkscrew minds are unsettling to the “owner” and all around him/her.
