No. It is the love of money.

So whose words should we believe? Is it that of the Lord (Bible) or of men?....
Believe in the sayings of the Lord in the Bible, not whatever saying is in the Bible otherwise you'd end up also believing the lies of the devil because that's also in the Bible.

Poverty is the root of all evil.
The Whitemen just brainwashed us with 'the love of money is the root of all evil'

What is POVERTY?
Imagine the day God freed the Israelites from Egypt, all of them were SLAVES meaning there's nothing like CLASS among them that very day but when each started struggling for money the same people that walked out of Egypt together like one family began hating and killing one another.

So is it POVERTY that they were use to in Egypt while being slaves that brought evil into their hearts or the love of money? smiley
Re: Is Money The Root Of All Evil? by Angelfrost(m): 10:50am On Dec 18, 2022
Of course, the Bible can't term money the answer of all or most things, and still call it the root of all evils! That's contradictory.


Scripture is clear that evil comes from an unhealthy love for money (Covetousness)!

This is even common sense!

The Bible acknowledges . . .

“Money is a protection.”—ECCLESIASTES 7:12.

However, the Bible warns . . .

“The one hastening to get rich will not remain innocent.”—PROVERBS 28:20.

“Those who are determined to be rich fall into temptation and a snare and many senseless and harmful desires.”—1 TIMOTHY 6:9.

Therefore, the Bible recommends . . .

“Let your way of life be free of the love of money.”—HEBREWS 13:5.

“Guard against every sort of greed, because even when a person has an abundance, his life does not result from the things he possesses.”—LUKE 12:15.

“Do not forget to do good and to share what you have with others.”—HEBREWS 13:16.

What are the benefits?

“There is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving.”—ACTS 20:35.

“The generous person will prosper, and whoever refreshes others will himself be refreshed.”—PROVERBS 11:25.

Some people turn the bible upside down when reading, most especially those ones carrying umbrella and bag.


There is Nobody that doesn't like money but the love of too much of it is a big issue thereby making people do things there are not meant to do i think that is what the bible is saying about that aspect.

Summary
It the love of money
Not money it self is the root of all evil

Don't forget Poverty is the complete tree
Poverty is an evil forest

Check 80% of all atrocities committed are mostly done by poor people

Reason they did it will always be because they are poor and they need money
Kidnappers,IPOB,Muslims terrorist
Check well they are congregation filled with poor men

So Poverty is an evil forest
Know this and know peace


Majority of atrocities are committed by poor people who don't have money, does not mean money is not the cause.

Poor people commit majority of those atrocities as a result of their quest for money.

Poverty can't possibly be the root of all evil. Greed, AKA the love of money is.
Re: Is Money The Root Of All Evil? by MrCuteking(m): 11:21am On Dec 18, 2022
CodeTemplar:
The love of it is, and even at that, the love of it is the root of "all kinds of evil" and not all evil.

Imagine as a yam or rice farmer trying to go long distance via public transport, and there is no money in existence.
You hit the bus stop with enough yams to cover your trip back and forth. That will make your journey hell, but with money, you exchange your yams for money then use the portable, widely accepted currencies in your possession to ease every other aspect of your journey that entails exchanging yams for things. This could be bread on the road, gala on the road, hotels to lodge, bribery to corrupt officers, alms to beggars or the needy or even emergency aid to accident victims.
This liquid attribute of money is why the Bible said "Money answereth to all things".
It simply means money helps exchange so many things in physical. This biblical definition of money roughly translates to your SS1 Economics definition of money where they say Money is a medium of exchange of goods(tangible) and services(intangible).

In the absense of things to be exchanged, money is a useless piece of paper people erroneously assume is a magical force that drives creation of things. It is(the need to exchange) things that birthed creation of money and not the other way.

This is deep. Your wisdom is amazing.

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

IS THE LOVE OF MONEY THAT IS ROOT OF ALL EVIL. angry
THAT IS WHEN YOU ALLOW MONEY TO BE YOUR SLAVE MASTER, INSTEAD OF BEING YOUR SERVANT.

WHEN PEOLE SELL THEIR SOUL FOR MONEY THEY CAN NEVER HAVE PEACE AND WORSE OFF THEY GO INTO OBLIVION FOREVER,IS THIER MISERY AND VAINITY UNTO ETERNITY. angry
WHEN PEOPLE SPILL HUMAN BLOOD FOR MONEY IS WORST EVIL,THEY ARE NO LONGER HUMANS BUT TERRIBLE DEMONS AND WISE HUMANS MUST STAY AWAY FROM THEM angry

GOOD MONEY IS REAL MONEY ,IT IS EARNED DILIGENTLY FROM TOILS. That is what originated good morning greetings to wish someone well with toilet of the day grin
Be diligent with good works and God will supply you good money for your peace of mind,in your own interest.

But the LOVE of money is the root of all evils

Remember...whatever we love more than the love we have and give to God is evil,sinful and rebellious..

Let us be careful..

Money is GOOD...
