by Jack Wellman | Why did the Apostle Paul write 1st Timothy? What was the purpose and why is it still relevant today? Paul’s argument to Timothy and the church at Ephesus is a clear explanation of the difference between the gospel of God being of grace and false ideas or teachings...

Phenylethylamine (PEA), the chemical responsible for the swooning and feelings of adoration, is structurally similar to cocaine. However, when given the chance, many people choose cocaine over love. I wouldn’t say that’s a bad choice. The endorphins released during infatuation are similar to heroin. OxyContin, “the cuddling hormone,” most often found in new mothers and newlyweds, is like ecstasy; every touch tingles. I think I read that somewhere. Love exists in powder. Love exists in pills. We are all addicts.

In Spinoza’s sense, falsity is privation, not presence. It’s not that false ideas are “evil” or “bad”. They are lacking. A false idea is an incomplete perception, it represents only a fragment of the causal chain while taking itself for the whole.

Spinoza’s geometry of thought shows that the more an idea expresses the total network of causes, the truer it is. The less it expresses, the more it’s fragmentary, confused and therefore false.

So when people condemn people on social care without understanding the whole picture, its economic, historical, and psychological contexts their minds are working with partial data. That partiality generates emotions fear, resentment, moral indignation. These are all symptoms of privation.

Thus yes, false ideas are “negative” in the structural sense not because they are morally wrong, but because they subtract from reality. They are holes masquerading as wholes. Falsity is not the opposite of truth; it’s the absence of enough of it.

False ideas are the greatest obstacles to the gospel. We may preach with all the fervor of a reformer and yet succeed only in winning a straggler here and there, if we permit the whole collective thought of the nation or of the world to be controlled by ideas which, by the resistless force of logic, prevent Christianity from being regarded as anything more than a harmless delusion.

“They have lied about the LORD, And said, ‘It is not He. Neither will evil come upon us, Nor shall we see sword or famine. And the prophets become wind, For the word is not in them” (Jeremiah 5:12-13 NKJV). False preachers teach false ideas and cause people to falsely believe that: (1) God either doesn’t exist, or doesn’t care, or doesn’t help; (2) nothing bad can happen to those who obey God.…
