The love of money as the Bible says.... 💴
@SW-User actually, according to the bible, its temptation that is the source of all evil

@SW-User It says it is A root of all kinds of evil, not THE root of all evil. Important distinction.

“For the love of money is the root of all evil”... 1 Timothy 6:10.... be my guest to read it for yourself!
@SW-User you are right Dixie.

@SW-User Yes, I'm aware of those translations.
1. In Greek it's best translated 'a root'. Do you want me to get boring and technical? And early translators like Tyndale and King James Version got it wrong and it got used in a few translations. KJV was a great early translation, but has a number of issues.
2. It doesn't make sense. Someone rapes a woman. No money or love of money involved. But it's still evil.

@Abstraction Thanks dear. KJV works for me and is my guide for life. I am aware rape is evil and does not involve money but you can’t change scripture and I was quoting scripture! Have a great one... Be blessed!! 👋

@SW-User Cool. And I wasn't correcting you even though it looked like it. I was trying to help people who might think it didn't make sense. Take care.
