1 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.
It is not money, but the love of money, that is the root of all evil. Some commentators have softened the meaning here by taking it as all kinds of evil, but the original actually reads "all evil." Paul, elsewhere, says that covetousness is idolatry, the worship of money as a god (not money in itself but the power and possessions that money can provide), and Jesus Himself said that we cannot serve both God and mammon (Ephesians 5:5; Matthew 6:24). Pride is the sin of the devil (1 Timothy 3:6), and it is pride that generates the love of what money provides. Evolutionism, which is the basis of all false religion and false philosophy, is essentially just the rationale that justifies man's God-denying pride which causes the love of money, which is the "root of all evil."

ok initially..in case you chop back your self and have been bleeding rather undesirable no person with a superb concepts might take a seat and look ahead to "god and all his angels" for the reason that'ss no longer the objective for what God serves and besides the certainty that somebody could come via and grant that can assist you you may in all probability deny it anyhow because of the fact it wasnt God interior the flesh or regardless of it is your waiting for even nonetheless God could have sent that individual that can assist you you, you may by no potential additionally be attentive to it. Then there is your total funds being the basis of all evil..and that i could argue from the two factors because of the fact its no longer funds this is evil it rather is what persons are keen to attain this as to get carry of and save this funds this is evil. So rather it relies upon on how the guy handles themselves throughout the time of the approach of having and retaining the money. undecided how lots or how little i spoke back your question..yet i gave it a shot

Well, according to the Bible any coveting of something that your "neighbor" has is breaking the (tenth) commandment, and the purpose of money is to gain all that you desire, thus yes according to the Bible it is the root of all evil.
As an atheist I would also say yes. It's not a bad thing to love money, but with the exception of crimes committed by truly insane people, every evil should root with: money. Money=Greed.

1Ti 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.
How you get it and how you use it determines if it is evil.
I have a passion for what money can do, NOT FOR ME, but for others, and for spreading the message to the world.
I wish I had an unlimited supply of money to give to others in need.
I would help people get on their feet, get training in whatever area they needed so that they could take care of themselves.
I have known of people that needed to go to the hospital, but because they could not afford to miss a days work, they refused to go.
These people need extra help financially.
If I did not get at least one thumbs down, I would feel that no one saw the truth in what I said.

To love money, put money before God or to make money your God will open up the door to your soul to all different types of evil spirits.
God said that you cannot serve Him and serve money, you will either love one or hate the other. You can't love both.
However the means of money is a neccessity to buy, sell and do things. It's good to have money, just don't let money have you. Being willing to give, to those that you "know" can't pay you back out of a willingful heart.

Hi. This is a misquote from the Bible. What the text actually says is "The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil." It doesn't say "the root of ALL evil." I think we could all agree that the love of money is the root of many evil things.

Actually love is for Living things and root of evil is putting your focus on things that will fade, scarce, and war-creating things. Remember that where your heart is, there is your treasure. if You treasure your Creator, and your neighbors, there your heart is. Actualy money is not evil at all, only treasuring it more than living things is the evil.

We should revert!
Go back to worshipping God constantly as much as humanly possible and love God with all of our hearts minds and souls. With all of our might serve Him.
Everyone is heading to the big anti-christial corporation in the horizon that is promising peace, peace.
Slaves to society...
Slaves to their own laws....
Enforcing society's systematic requisition by taxing everything.
Requiring that your children go to school or at least be put thru their systematic teachings.
God is all that matters.
Luke 12:24-28 (New King James Version)
24 Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds? 25 And which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? 26 If you then are not able to do the least, why are you anxious for the rest? 27 Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 28 If then God so clothes the grass, which today is in the field and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith?
Matthew 17:20And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
We don't need money.

Yes, because if you love money you will do anything to get it, including evil things.

The original Greek reads panton ton kakon, kakon being the word for "evils" in the plural...
This lessens the force of the construction from "all evil" to "all sorts of evils"
