Topic: Money is the root of evil? (Read 253 times)
Money is not the root of evil. But 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. The Bible makes it quite clear that sin is the root of all evil in the world (Matthew 15:19; Romans 5:12; James 1:15). So it is the love of money, not money itself, that is a source of all different kinds of trouble and evil. Wealth is morally neutral; there is nothing wrong with money, in and of itself, or the possession of money. However, when money begins to control us, that’s when trouble starts.
Money is not the root of evil. But if it becomes your idol then this is bad. And the Bible just points out that we shouldn't make idols for ourselves.
Yes certainly, any doubt about it? We all are on Earth just to earn and spend. i dont find this as true meaning of life.
.Hope your reason for been here is not because of money tho!
Money is not the root of all evil but how you make and spend it determined whether or not its!
The truth is life is not sweet without cash even in the bible money is there so money is not the root of all evil is how people make and spend it.
Don't miss quote Bible , read Bible with understanding....
Hope my view count tho!

money is not the root of evil. Insufficient money / No money is the root of evil.
Greedy people are always insufficient.
Less greedy/ non greedy people are mostly sufficient with the money they've.

Jep threating the next like money earning cattle is very common nowadays
This topic is very subjective and depends on how the individual views it. To me, money as used here is not necessarily the currency but all circumstances surrounding it. The way we get it, the way we spend it and how we even treat our fellow human beings because of it. Critically observing, it could be seen that everything in the world now is about money and many of the evil things man do these days are mostly money related. So basically I agree with the statement.
I would argue that religion is the root of all evil, and money is the road to world peace.
Look at history, everyone kills each other in the name of their god. Religion is a good thing but unfortunately people feel so strongly about it that any disagreement eventually escalates to violence. Whereas money is incentivising the world to play nice. Countries become more and more dependent on each other as commerce becomes more global.
If we consider the middle east, look at how religion is being used to commit all these crimes against humanity.
Just my 5 cents.

if u wanna help the poor and the unprivileged, u need to get a lot of money.
I see money is not the root of evil. The root of evil is human greed. Money is not everything, but living without money is hard
It depends on our intended purpose.
I would say that greed or the value that people put in money is the root of evil.
It's not the money it's the person who makes evilness in the world.They worship their money and that's makes their attitude or behavior change into evil.
In my point of view for me The LOVE of money is the root of all evil.. Money is simply a tool, like a hammer.
Tools have no intrinsic value.. they are neither good nor evil.
Saying money is the root of all evil is like saying that a hammer is evil.

No
Money is not the root of all evil, because some evil are done that are not money related. This evil are done just to punish people for some offence committed in the time past.
Though money and evil do work together, but money is not the root of all evil

Nope, money is not evil. It's the lubricant that keeps the economic system moving both at global and local levels. It's because of money you can develop your skill in a specific type of profession and make sure that your other needs are taken care of. Money is just a tool and a very beneficial tool indeed. A lot of people blame money as evil being driven by an over simplified world view. Money is not value, money is just a storage of value aiding value movement across space and time.
Money changes the behavior of a person so it means money manipulated behavioural thinking of the person to do some bad thing like robbery, thief and specially corruption. But it depends on the person if he or she will commit a crime just for the sake money.
Money is not the root of all evil. Money is the doer of all things, been greedy and not contented leads many to be looking for money in a wrong way. when you are not greedy and contented with little, your little will increases with patients. An Englishman who says a patience Dog eats the fattest bone believe patience in all things leads to blessing.

- How can money be evil and yet be the answer to everything?Greedy people are always insufficient.

Although wealth can be a blessing,but god's world also gives numeros warning about the misuse of money,in other words people do sort of evil deeds ,because of controlling desire for money,therefore physical possessions cannot bring the real happiness
so that, in my conclusion people should right to use the money which god give us,,but not love it, since it is temporary.
Please money is not the root of all evil but rather the love of money is the root of all evil, people love money to the extend of exchanging life with money which is evil, there have been instances where people used part of their body or a close relative for money rituals.
If money is root of all evil, why do they ask it at church?

Because the truth is hard to accept, in reality money is very important. Almost everything is possible to Acquire when you have money to spend. But, money can't buy will of a person,long-lasting relationships buy time, or even buy death. Money's not the root of all evil. It doesnt have a mind of its own or power over a human being.
People are evil. Thats the truth. They just make excuses that money provoke them to do this, to do that.. But the truth is it's all about choices made by people not by a non-living thing called money.
Money is neither good nor evil.
To give you an example: Let say there are a dozen bananas on the backseat of a car and someone walks past and notices the bananas. This person then breaks the car window and steals the bananas. The owner of the car comes back later and notices his window is broken and the bananas are gone. Where the bananas evil? nope, the bananas were just bananas..the actions of another human being to attain those bananas was evil.
With the same logic, money cannot be evil

Money is not the root of all evil.. To my own knowledge what the Bible is trying to point out there is that most people place money above God and forgetting their creator...

-If you know the true essence of your money and use it, for the righteous way you never get wrong with you money,aside from that money is basic needs of people as well for living (like food clothes,and shelter),if you lack of them you faced it from literal starvation and death,sometimes some people have more money but no have peace in mind because for greedy attitude ,anyway furthermore,according to Paul the love of money becomes the ultimate idolatry .Mans Greed is the root of Evil!

Honestly money is not the root of evil,,instead love of money is the root of all evil,,,because some people love money more than they love god,, JESUS said you cannot serve by two god,(god and Mammon matthew 6;24 at holy bible)Mans Greed is the root of Evil!
If you have more money what is money being used for? Is it being used for God's glory, or is it being used only for pleasure? Is it being used for pride, to support dictators, and for the purchase of arms with which to kill people, or is it being used for a higher purpose? the use of money can be very worthwhile. It can be used to build orphanages and hospitals, to feed the poor, to preach the gospel, to build universities, to educate people in righteousness, to establish churches, and to broadcast the gospel. It takes money to print Bibles, to publish religious books, and to advertise evangelistic meetings. There is nothing intrinsically wrong with
your money.
