For You Is Money The Root Of All Evil?

For me: Money makes the world go round. Without money you die. This is what money can do into our lives. Well money also makes people bad. They think that if they have lots of money they can control everything. Money is not the answer for world peace instead we must unite. People don't have money will effect to evil doings. From thousand years ago money/gold is root of evil. This is only in my own opinion. How about you? Money...money...money...makes someone crazy.. Dont throw your money instead make it a valuable..

Money isn't. People are

Nope, evil existed a long time before money existed and there are a lot of bad things happening in the world that have absolutely nothing to do with money.

Money in itself isn't a bad thing. Unfair taxation schemes are. See Al Gore's idea about a carbon tax that should replace employment taxes.

Money is not the root of all evil. It contributes to evil though, as it is valuable and people will kill people for it. Therefor, I am communist. Communism requires some 'nastiness' to keep people in check but is worth it. If the world was communist, far less evil would exist.

Well here we go down the rabbit hole. The original saying comes from the Bible in 1 Timothy 6:10. The King James Version states the following: “For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.”

I have heard this many places before, apparently when this passage was translated into English, it was not translated quite correctly. Many modern translations state that the love of money is A root of evil. Another translation is that the love of things or covetousness is the root of all evil. You can see most of the main stream translations at http://bible.cc/1_timothy/6-10.htm. You can also read some commentary on the subject at http://www.cbn.com/spirituallife/CBNTeachi.../FAQ_money.aspx. I do not mean to make this a purely Christian discussion but the original saying comes from the Bible and I am trying to keep it in the same context.

Not money is a root of all the evil.
Wars are made because of territories, religions and even leaders' thought and not for money. They are like a bonus.
Then more money you have then more happy you are. It's a fact that people without money aren't happy. They can't buy thing they need for normal life. They often have bad relations with wife, son, doter, and that's because of lack of money.
Look at people who have a lot of money, they have everything they need and in time, they don't need to plan when by a new car, their wife or husban happy because they now that the net day will come and they'll able to pay for bills and food.
The root of eveil, for me, are people who have no enough money and they start wars, they kill people (for money again) and they have everything arround them.

I remember seeing a math equation that confirmed money was the root of all evil...

Is the right translation the love of money the root of all evil?
For You Is Money The Root Of All Evil?

The William Tyndale translation is the only version that gets this one, and truly translates it, you can get a copy from efaith.Com.Au, the right translation is the love of covetousness is the root of all evil, Satan coveted Gods Throne, eve before money coveted the forbidden fruit etc. (The New Testament by William Tyndale, edited by David Daniell to modern text) (The Tyndale old testament is also available) these are the most amazing and easy to read translations of the bible, Tyndales English translation said to be better the all 3000 other English texts his greek and Hebrew surpass all translations to date ( amazing or a gift of God) I would say the latter but you decide.

My opinion is that some people are inherently evil with, or without money, while others are characterised with kindness and generosity with, or without, money. It's just that money exposes what's actually inside the person who has it. I had come across this opinion poll which says 'Money is not 'the root of all evil'. The 'love' of money is the root of all evil'.' sounds very true.
