Wrong impression about the scriptures I
� " Money is the root of all evil"
What the Bible says is this : " For the LOVE OF MONEY is a root of all kinds of evil......"
1Timothy 6 vs 10
NIV:For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
Having money does not make you evil. It is the obsession with and intense love of money that leads to all kinds of evil. Just because a person has no money in his pocket doesn't mean that he is holy. He may well be thinking, dreaming and lusting after money all day long. You don't need to have a lot of money to have the love of money. If a person is always purchasing lottery tickets, going to the casinos, involve in gambling of various kinds , engaging in fraudulent and criminal activities to get money; this person clearly has a love for money. He is obsessed with getting more money.
