Stan,
The quote is "Love of money is the root of all evil."
1 Timothy Chapter 6 verse 10.
For we brought nothing into the world, just as we shall not be able to take
anything out of it.
If we have food and clothing, we shall be content with that.
Those who want to be rich are falling into temptation and into a trap and
into many foolish and harmful desires, which plunge them into ruin and
destruction.
*For the love of money is the root of all evils, and some people in their
desire for it have strayed from the faith and have pierced themselves with
many pains. *
Exhortations to Timothy. But you, man of God, avoid all this. Instead,
pursue righteousness, devotion, faith, love, patience, and gentleness.
Stan, many liberals, progressives, Communists, Fascists and others on the
left who believe in government control at the expense and injury to
personal freedom and liberty often say that money is the root of all evil,
it isn't, it's just the greed, pride and selfishness that causes the
problem.
Unfortunately, when governments get involved you get those who want to
enslave people and I consider socialism, communism, and fascism - - - all
creatures of the left, as the greatest evil in the world today.
That doesn't mean that I don't agree with generosity and valuing people by
paying them well or to the widows, veterans and nd disabled, I would
support them gladly and I would help the poor, teaching them skills to
support themselves and feeding them while they are learning to support
themselves.
