"Love of Money" is the root of all evil.

People nowadays are never contended with what they have.

How can they be contented when they have nothing?

MaxInDHouse:


I want everyone to live equally, if we're living under $2 per day or above $3,000 per day evil will not come to mind as long as we're all paid the same amount and have everything equally.

But when talking about poverty and riches one is more difficult for imperfect human to cope with than the other, that's what i'm telling you.

How many security operatives do you have around you?
When someone knocks do you feel like opening without fear?
When you dream do you see everyone in your dreams as friends?

The poor and the rich will surely have totally contradicting response to the above but while the poor sleeps yakata with rest of mind that everyday comes with it's need the rich can't even sleep knowing fully well that all eyes are on him:

Sweet is the sleep of the one serving, whether he eats little or much, but the plenty belonging to the rich one does not permit him to sleep! Ecclesiastes 5:12
There are no classless societies, since the beginning of the world, it's only an utopia or unrealistic theory, if not in monetary value, then something else... If you think bn rich is entirely by choice, you might want to rethink, yes u might be correct neither money or poverty is the root of evil.. Humans are the root of evil, opinion, even in the ghetto, like you earlier mentioned also hs classes V. V

The LOVE of money is the root of evil.

Money Answreth all things...... QED

Money is a slave that works for you, if you know how to effectively deploy it.

Some people turn the bible upside down when reading, most especially those ones carrying umbrella and bag.
Please share a point that they turn up side down

Emphasis on the word "Love". What is love? It is a deep and intense affection for something, usually people. And for an intense affection to be triggered, it must require your attention. Cos love Is all about attention for affection to take a foothold. So if you dedicate your attention for something material as money, either every other thing will take back seat value to you, or their as a means to an end. And this therein, is where rhe evil lie.

As Timothy states, ''For the love of money.....'', being a Hebrew translation, ''the love of money...'' is logically and grammatically inchoate. It should read, ''the love for money...'' and not ''of''.

Money is good but the way use get it and how you use it is what brings about the evil part. Money is not everything but everything needs money. But in all too much of everything is bad. Do everything in moderation. Always pray for God's guidance on all matters and he will see you through.

Money is neutral. The direction of use depends on the type of person controlling it. There are no evil monies but evil people who can either acquire it by evil means or use it for evil. At the end of the day whether Good or evil depends on Humans. Money is just a neutral servant.

if you don't love money and appreciate the good things that comes with it you will have no zeal or motivation to work hard for it,I think lack of money is the root of all evil,check an economy like Singapore with a thriving middle class and almost no poverty there is zero crime,why take the risk to Rob or kidnap someone when you have steady money and comfortable lifestyle from childhood,you can't even think about something like that

Money,sex and power. Has thesame tendency. Why separate money and leave the rest. Man get intoxicated easily by those three as they affect the psyche of any human.

What actually intoxicate isn't money, but the greed for it. Same was as sex and power and another thing. Even food has its destruction tendencies.

Power corrupt, absolute power corrupt absolutely, money corrupt, the love of money corrupt absolutely.

Point of corrections please, the Bible never said money is the root of all evil but it clearly stated that the love of money is the root of all evil. Anyway if money is truly the root of evil please show me the tree of evil

Who said that it is the love of money that is the root of all evil? The bible passage is ambiguous, you gave it your own interpretation. As far as I know money is the root of all evil.
