Love of money is the root of all evil. Is that true?

Why people try Imigration to CanadaLove of money is the root of all evil. Is that true?
yes it is true. the LOVE of money is the root of all evil. everything in our world today requires money, whether it be for a serial killer, rapist, murderer..etc... everybody needs money to survive..but when you want money for everything other than love, marriage compasssion etc...your in trouble. money can make you do strange things.Love of money is the root of all evil. Is that true?
No, it is A root of ALL KINDS of evil. Check the original Greek (well, study). The difference between ';A'; and ';THE'; is obvious, and was interjected by the translators and not part of the original context of the language. THE ROOT would be inconsistent with other scriptures and would therefore be an incorrect translation, because it is obvious there are other forms of evils which do not have money as a root. e.g. sexual immorality. Prostitution is a response to this base evil in order to obtain money - Fornication is the drive, prostitution is the result, money is the goal of the prostitute while personal gratification is the goal of the client. Therefore, selfishness is also a root of evil so money can not be the only root and so the words ';THE ROOT'; is inconsistent.
Ah yes, the lovely mistranslation of the KJV, try the NIV on for size:





I Timothy 6:10


';For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.';





In other words, a lot of evil is done in the pursuit of wealth, who would deny it? I can't possible imagine why anybody would want to move to Canada (or, as I like to call it, America's gay little bother).
i think the key word is ';love'; i do not think money is evil- it is essential. but i do think that love of money is what starts and drives people down a destructive path. obsession with working to get more money, being dishonest to get money, doing illegal things to get money- when your obsession for the status or the possessions in life press you to get your money in these ways- that is what i think is evil. when money is the #1 priority. that is ';love of money'; and yes- i think that is the root of all (well at least a lot) of evil. :)
IN MY OPINION, YES, the LOVE for money IS the root of evil --is it the root of ALL evil,no I don't believe so. Me personally, as long as I have enough to live comfortabely I am happy, (and I'm one of those people who live below the 'poverty level'. I am content with my ';lot in life'; and have no desires to be financially rich. I have heard too many 'horror stories' about people who ';strike it rich';. Almost all say they will do this or that grand thing with there ';new found gain'; but almost all never do what they say and most wind up in a bankrupcy court. You also have those who say ';money won't change me a bit';--guess what--they become the biggest 'snobs' you'd ever want to come across. Me, I'll remain my humble %26amp; poor self. Besides, what I lack in money is made up for a hundred fold with my Lord Jesus Christ by my side. It is no sin to be rich-- just use your 'new found gain' wisely and don't let it change you into a snob. Good Luck. I hope this advice helps you.
The Bible says the lust of money is the root of evil. The money itself is not evil, but the desire to obtain it, sure has caused people to do evil things.
I believe the saying is, Love of money is the root of evil, not *all* evil. And yes, the love of money has been the root of much evil. Don't know what any of that has to do with immigrating to Canada.
No.





It is the PURSUIT of money that is the root of all evil. The love of money isn't good, but the 'saying' says the pursuit of money.





Hope this helps.
Obviously not. Mass or serial murderers or rapists are not after money. Pedophiles are not driven by money. The list goes on.





No clue what this has to do with Canada.
yes, the Love of money is. Think about it, when people get greedy, doesn't more war, violence, and ungodliness occur.
Pfft. Love of money is another Christian spams. I love my money BECAUSE I give homeless people, pay food, and etc... WITH MY LOVE. How people understand and think it's a sin? Pfft. Don't trust Christian God.....
The Bible says that the ';love of money'; is ';the'; or ';a'; root of all evil. You've got to read the Greek New Testament to understand what the apostle Paul means.
Whenever ';all'; is used in a statement, it is rarely true.
bible says so





everyone needs money to live their lives but if the love of money is all you think about or care about you are sinning.
It isn't the root to all evil.





People are immigrating to Canada?!?!?!
now that just doens't make sense
Then the Pope is one EVIL dude.
The people who say that usually have lots of money.


But it's not true.
Who cares, money feeds my kids...no evil in that.
