No money is not the root of all evil. It is the LOVE of money that is the root of all evil. such as in marriage and divorce. Listen
1 TIMOTHY 6:10
10) For the Love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
You have people in urban neighborhoods dying on a daily basis over 5 dollars. Money is the number one reason for divorce today. Fighting over who's in control of it.
I pray for you. Amen

Often misquoted as 'money is the root of all evil'. Timothy 6:10. 'For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.'
There is also the quote by George Bernard Shaw "Lack of money is the root of all evil"

The actual quote is "the love of money is the root of all evil".
And I must say I disagree. Pedophilia is not coming from the love of money, and THAT is really evil.

That bible verse seems really stupid. How is money the root of all evil? Did money make "satan" rebell from this god? I thought Jesus said sin was the root of all evil.
I don't see how money caused adam and eve to eat that fruit. So really that statement is inaccurate.

It is the love of money. 1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is a root of all sorts of injurious things, and by reaching out for this love some have been led astray from the faith and have stabbed themselves all over with many pains.

The love of money is the root of all evil. That's one thing that the bibel got right. The rest is mostly trash.
