How can you tell if your boyfriend/girlfriend loves you?

Below are the 10 major signs to consider :-)

1. The way your boyfriend/girlfriend look at you.
2.Love is kind, If he/she is not kind, that is a bad sign.
3. He/She wants to meet your family and friends :-)
4. He/She notices things about you that others don't.
5. Your hapiness is his/her happiness.
6. He/She misses you when you're apart.
7.He/She  keeps you in the loop.
8. He/She is there for you even when it’s inconvenient.
9. He/She doesn’t give up.

I really believe that these signs are important but is not everything. I think you will never be totally sure if someone loves you because not everybody is the same and not what you think is love can be love for another person. For example, a friend of mine says that time is the most important thing in a relationship but to me are the feelings. So, the only thing you can do is trust her/him and let her/him how much you love them.

As you said yourself, money is needed for may things as you stated yourself. But the Bible is saying that the love of Money, people will go the extra mile just o get money and the list includes lying and killing just to do that. The one's who get money through legit ways are not evil but the one who get it through dubious ways, those are the one's the Bible is talking about.

Money is essential for living. But, before people didn't need money. People before can live happy and peaceful life without money. Nowadays, money is essential for us to gain influence, respect, power and many things. Money brings greediness to people, which could lead to bad things. Greed is one of the mortal sin and greed brings man's destruction.

[Footmanred]

I think that to love money is not bad. Just don't value money above family and love.Money is a means of life. Money can't buy health, as an example.It is not necessary to put money above all else.

Hi Footmanfred!  Thanks for your opinion. May I share my opinion to you why it is said... "The Love of Money is the root of all evil".  I think you just mean money is not bad :-)  Yes, if that's what you mean you are right!  But loving money is really wrong. Because when you love something you will do everything or anything just to have it. Like many people who love it, they kill and they lie just to get money because money is the means to get anything you want in this world and most bad people take advantage of that.

[valvevow]

Yes, money is kind of evil. Because of the money people have a lot of problems. Without money there will be nothing to live. Because of the money, people even killed.

[jk_14]

I don't believe that money, or any object for that matter, is evil. Evil is a feature that is unique to self-aware creatures. Without a human to use money for evil, the money would just be money.
Money in general isn't bad either, in fact it's one of the greatest tools mankind has created. Without money a lot more people would be dying than the amount of lifes that greed-driven wars have claimed.

[UchihaRukawa]

I believe not, in the history of all humanity, money had just been created recently and I think its for the purpose of not putting in too much sheeps or catles in your pocket to trade with. As we read our history books we can sea that money is never the root of evil, the root of all evil is sin itself.

[s31joemhar]

YES I DO ... we dont need more evidence bout that .. lets just go to poor people many of them are  doing crazy jobs because of their needs but some are just doing it for fun or addiction.. look those prostitute ?? if they are not a victim of human trafficking do you think they will do it because they just wnt to do it ?? HELL NO they are doing it because they need money to live in this world .. and money is really the main reason of poverty criminals and crimes ... MONEY is the e hand of the clock when it moves money move sad world it controlls with money

[IvanPont]

Money is neither good nor bad. Without them it is bad to live. But with them it is impossible to find happiness too.

Love of god/gods has lead to far more deaths than love of money

[Michhotdog]

Money in our world is needed to provide for our family and the love of money does not make us bad, it makes us prosperous and happy people. This greed makes people evil.

[thomastthom]

Not everyone loves money. It is the human needs that bounds people to earn more money. Result of not living in inequality society where corruption rules and rich gets richer and poor gets poorer.

[zwiggel]

Not everyone loves money. It is the human needs that bounds people to earn more money. Result of not living in inequality society where corruption rules and rich gets richer and poor gets poorer.

I agree with you. Money is not the complete cause of all evil. The circumstances have given rise to evil. Anyone has the good and the bad inside the soul. When crushed, oppressed, evil will arise. It may be due to hunger and thirst, humiliation, trampling, poverty, and so on. Money is important but not all. Not all bad things are caused by money.

[WhaleHunter]

The problem is exactly the word "love". People should understand it is only a tool, not a fetish...

[Sasuke102001]

In this world as there is light there must be shadows as long as there is a concept of winners there must be losers and the desire to maintain peace causes wars and hatred is to born to protect love so we can say not only love of money but love for anything can be the cause of evil. Everything in the world exists in pairs without one other cannot exist. So somewhere or other it is love which creates hatred or hatred is born towards someone to protect one's loved ones.

[coolcoinz]

The problem is exactly the word "love". People should understand it is only a tool, not a fetish...

Money is not important, it's a means to achieve a greater goal, happiness. You shouldn't love money, just like you shouldn't love your car or any other inanimate object.
Unfortunately many people love money and are willing to kill for it. In such case they certainly are wicked, evil, bad to the bone.

[Karen23]

Money is jist an instrument that we can use. It is neither good nor evil. The love of money. When you love your money you tend to forget everything you have and taking for granted the more important things in life.

[BADecker]

No. But it is similar. The Bible translation that says that passage, is a poor translation for English speakers of today. A better translation would be, "The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil?

[Vod]

No. But it is similar. The Bible translation that says that passage, is a poor translation for English speakers of today. A better translation would be, "The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil?

Any part of the bible BD does not agree with, has to be wrong.

That claim is shared by every single brainwashed fool in the world.

[achikomimi]

It's not the money is evil, it's how you spend or use your money.

[chriswhiner]

the root of all evil start when people start to love them selfie so that start love money and ........

Yes it is. Money itself is not evil but the love of money is. By too much love of money one steal, one cheat, on rob, on kill. Love of money a man may exchange his family to another woman more wealthier than her woman. One will deprive another  for his right because of love of money and a lot more of similar incidents and actions that could happen because of love of money.

[jcmelana1991]

Yes money is root of evil.when it comes of money people make chenage because of money.when money involves people are fighting because of that money.so i assure money is the biggest evil.

[seinzein]

it's depend on the person.
if you can manage it and know how to use it well.
that's not the root.
because it;s not just money that will be an evil, everything will be bad,
when we can not use it well.
but i sayn say, many people are blind because of money.

[gabmen]

Money is a tool but i don't think it's the main cause of evil. You cam always be in control of yourself. Greed probably is. Love for money and the need to have more than what is needed. I think that's a more appropriate way to see it.

[dream_maker82]

Yes money is root of evil.when it comes of money people make chenage because of money.when money involves people are fighting because of that money.so i assure money is the biggest evil.

If money is evil, then why do you earn it? For example, I see only good from money, because with the help of them I can provide my family and help those in need.

[nursahath07]

NO
i think Bad intention and tendency of abusing are root cause of doing Evil ..

[01asd]

For some people yes.
But for some people like me, we need money to feel love.
Without money we cannot eat. Without eat we cannot live.

[hyunee]

If it is too much that is your praising money that is not a good sign. As you say it should be a matter or a tool for living. Refrain yourself from being greedy in money. You should consider your surroundings before money. Your goal should not just be rich, earn more money. It should be be happy while earning.

[Westinhome]

I believe money is the root of evil when you use it on the wrong way. We know it is the only way can end our poverty in our family but we need to use our money in a good way, don't use it in a bad way just buying drugs or buying everything but its not important.

[jennal]

Capitalism is definetely not working as expected based on flat money. This decentralisation and freedom could be game changer. thats why i went into crypto

[Przemax]

Yeah the love of money. The enjoying of having more than you need leads to being abominable in eyes of the God. Those abominations are

"proud (vain) look"

People make a dickheads out of themselves to show the bigger house they have that they do not even live in, or bigger boat or car. How that is not evil when there are people that have no house what so ever.

"A lying tongue."

That is the main reason to lie to enrich yourself

"Hands that shed innocent blood"

There would be no mercenaries without money

"A heart that deviseth wicked acts"

Scammers do scams to enrich themselves

"Feet that be swift in running to mischief"

Some people only go out of the bed because they get something out for themselves mainly money.

"A false witness that speaketh lies"

Liers ahhhheeemmm sorry - Lawyers that knows of the guilt but speak the false testimony?

"He that soweth discord among brethren[7]"

Yeah i think so for other people. Because besides from needing in order to buy daily expenses, rich people uses it for their desires, whatever they have in mind they will do it even pay for a judge if he causes a sin. I believe that money shouldnt be loved but use it on its right purpose only

[xianrf20]

I don't consider that love of money is the root cause of evil rather its insecurities. I say insecurities for the fact that are jealous of what others have, how they look, and how they live through the point that we don't even love ourselves. Because of insecurities we would like to have money more than what we need to get our pleasures and almost all the things that we want.
Don't try to blame others with your own mistakes, accept and learn to be mature.

[zaynxx]

Like God said "the love of money is the root of all evil". The good example of that is the Gold mining companies that are willing to destroy our nature just to earn money.
Money is a tool but i don't think it's the main cause of evil, you can always be in control of yourself. Greed probably is. Love for money and the need to have more than what is needed. I think that's a more appropriate way to see it that greediness is the root of all evil.

[BADecker]

Like God said "the love of money is the root of all evil".

That was a poor interpretation of the Greek. The better interpretation is, "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil." See http://biblehub.com/1_timothy/6-10.htm.

[cryptogirl100]

No, but greed is

[cherryganda]

too much eager for money will kill you !! you should accept  that in life there are thing that money cant buy .. and you cant have it what ever you do .. too much money is not good if you cant geet it then let it be some peeople do crimes just to have money !

[perfectliberty]

Yes I agree with this because it was stated in the Bible. It is the root of all evil like crimes. Robbing is one crime with money involved. Corruption and many more crimes involved with money are seen today. Poor people often rob because of needs. Other people steal because of envy. Money is the reason on why people don't serve God. Instead of going to church, they prioritized their business. As also stated in the Bible, man can only serve mammon (money) or God.

[VFabio]

Definitely, money as we are using it today is equivalent to financial debt. They just left out the “-“ upfront.

With such a success, everything that people seek for can become an evil. Even a benefactor. Everything has two sides and harmony only in balance.
I would rather say a great love for money - is the root of evil. As well as excessive love for any things.

[Daniel91]

Money was designed by GOD himself and those who love it more than HIM, their family and good relationships defiled it's very purpose. Because the purpose of MONEY is to provide for our needs, to strengthen relationship and to enjoy our living.

When you read Bible, book of Genesis, you will see that first people, Adam and Eve, lived in the ideal world, original garden of Eden, without any money, material things, even naked, without clothes.
When they broke God's command, they became aware of their nudity and covered their sexual organs.
From that moment on, people became materialists, obsessed with material things.
Very few people remain devoted to spirituality and relationship with God.
It's our sad reality today.
So, money is not root of all evil but our separation from God.
Because of it, we have a materialistic and selfish society today.

[covfefe_]

No, it's the wrong concept about money and love that brings the problem.
If you do evil for love, that's not love.
If you do evil for money, that's a false evaluation of money.

[beej]

i thought Greed was the root of all evil?

[fraktall]

Money is a part of life - like as love, health, relations, etc more. Everything can become root of evil, it depends of own man.

Yes it is stated in the Bible that too much love for money is the root of all evils.  If we see money as our top priority above others, money becomes our god.  We will do everything just to have a lot of it even doing it for the dake of ones self, selfishness.  People lost their morales and humility for loving it too much.

[gadimbrut]

I think not, money is not the cause of the crime, because the function of money is as a medium of exchange that is issued by a country. which makes people commit a crime arising from their hearts.

[bhabygrim]

I think that to love money is not bad. Just don't value money above family and love.Money is a means of life. Money can't buy health, as an example.It is not necessary to put money above all else.

As humans , money is essential for our daily needs. However, too much love for it might bring us to the pit of sin. We should't put money as a center of our lives. We need it to live but if we love it more than God, it might cause us to commit sin.

[inoymuninoy]

Nowadays, Money is essential, because you can't achieve what you want if don't have a money You can't study in a university if you don't have a money. So if you don't study, then you can't have a job. But if you have money and too much you use from it. It's stupid. Because yeah money is essential, but it's not always a reason to make a bad thing that you want. And if you use it for bad things they're called an evil. Money is not evil, but the people who use it to do a bad things are called evil.

[Nikobitkoint54097]

How would not like to admit it,but a lot of nowadays depend on money!With money solved almost all the problems! Conversely, the lack of money creates difficulties! Because of money betray,kill etc! Denigi is EVIL, but without them to survive is not possible!

[bitkaboom2]

yes it is right because in Quran Allah says that " wealth and children is the insurrection for you". so Quran proved that the money is the root of all evils. as we know that some people are greedy and they want to earn money. they dont see that it is bad way or good way to earn.

Of course money is not root of all evil.It can serve for good as well for bad purposes.
It is the people who have suppressed characters,and money just help those feelings,and traits
get on surface showing their true face.

[cryptohome]

Hate to admit but, to a great extent it is.

[salinizm]

Absolutely yes, I do believe passion for money is cause of ongoing evil stuff on earth. For example, people kill each other for money and even they sell their souls to devil for money. This kind of brutal reality will sound the death knell for humanity.

money is just a tool to meet the needs of everyday human life, it is not all forms of human needs can be met by money, but money is needed as one of human life support.
when the love of money becomes excessive, at the same time money can make the evil side of a person appear, human beings can become greedy, human beings can be eager to master a thing according to his will, until humans become evil against each other, even humans can love more money than God.

I would not like money if I were given everything for free, like on a deserted island, well, or at least I would have worked for myself, and did not pay taxes. And so they are needed everywhere and always wherever you go, what not having done. So I love and more.

[shiki3226]

Money, in itself is not evil but the love for it is. You see, the issue is not the object but the attitude that is directed to it like greed and loving it more than anything that corrupts. While it is true that a lot of people are guilty of such acts, in my opinion, love for wealth or material possession is just one root as there are still others like pride and many more that causes a person to sin.

Right. Because if money is the root of it all then all of us who're working our asses out to make money would probably go to hell. Money helps our lives easier and comfirtable and it's not bad to aspire to be rich for our and ourselves

I think that the love for koney is not necessaroly the root of evil but greed itself. the act wherein we put ourselves first because we think that we are more important than others. THe narrow mindedness and the ability to do everything in our power to get what we want not counting what we may step on.

[Renzyp]

It depend to the person that have money how they handle it!!! Have other still work hard to maintain  what they have!!! But some yes they became evil becouse they are not contented they wanting more power ! They want to be more famous and they become a power sicking !!!!!!

[PIR]

Yes, the love of money is the root of all evil, because they are greedy for money, their self centered attitude wants to get more. the bible says, you cannot serve 2 master,,either you will hate the one and love the other.

If you love money, you become a slave to money, therefore money is your master and not God. The love of money will only lead to ruin and destruction of oneself and one's soul. Make money your slave and God master. Only then money will never be a master but a tool to serve God.

[Exeus]

Yes i do believe that money is the root of all evil because some of us used money to pay people to kill. We all know that we need money due to expensive foods we obtain right now , the problem is if we dont have work we need to do other options to find some money not for ourselves but also to our family some of us need to do bad things just to provide what family needs.

[KingOfWinterfell01]

The love of money is indeed the root of all evil because it blinds us to whatever we are supposed to be focusing on, which is God. Let's not learn not to love money but to love God.

[RoronoaJorah]

Yes i believe the love of money is the root of all evil people become greed over money and those who run after it trap into many trouble...they desire for something more than what they have and so they become slave of their own evil desire.

[Icaxx]

Sometime love of money can inflict to evil character but not always. When you love of money but think that money is not everything then its not invite evil character.  Love of money is ok but put it above everything is the problem.

[labs0918]

Yes because sometimes money is the reason why people kills. Many people make money as their God. Whats only important to them is only money that sometimes they forget to thanks God for their blessings.

[charmaine08]

Yes .because sometimes we abuse on how to use our money like we are using it to destroy the other business or company . so we shall not allow that money control us we shall control on wasting our money .

[tj4dmx]

Money is a means of life and Money is not larger than life !!

[GOODNESS]

Yes i believe that the love of money is the root of all evil, Money we know is not evil, but it is very clear every person  on earth knows the use and value of money. And it is very clear that to make money you have to work in order to earn money. The Bible says any one that does not work should not eat, but there are those who are too desperate about getting money. They love money and can go all out not minding the cost of getting the money, even if they must kill to get it, because they love money they will kill, or if they have to use any part of their body, because they love money they are ready to use any part of their body for it , or even use any other person to make money, because the love money they are ready to use any body, they  Love money and are desperately ready to get it, all these evil they tend to want to engage in  is as a result of the Love of money.  So the love of money is the root of Evil.

[tommierijnbout]

You're thinking at the negative way . There are many kinds love of money and not all of them are the root of evils, only guys who are really crazy about money will become evil.

[rynah011991]

I don't believe so, but it depends on how you manage things. if that love of money can destroy others then that's evil but if that love of money can create or help others then that's good thing. We are given a choices on where path to follow. if in good or evil.

[Applechild]

very true. Money in itself is not evil but out of greed man wants to get more and more and more. not minding if he will be alive for so long to even spend the money. people have given up their souls just to  get money. killed others to get money and all sort of evil everywhere because of money. once the love of money is more, you begin to love people based on what they have  not who they are. its a huge topic of discussion

[rynah011991]

Yes-The greed caused by pursuit of money is damaging. spiritual & Family damage.
Equals a social status and causes  bad interest.
money causes interest

No-Money can be donated to charities
Money is not the root of all evil. The lack of money is the root of all evil.
Money is the end product of your hardwork.
Originally, Money was the solution to the problems(/inefficiencies in transactions) arising out of barter exchange system.

[Naoko]

I believe that there is a good option to get rid of greed....to donate money regularly...and the amount must be "a little sorry"... I believe that with money you can be generous

[shiki3226]

Money in itself is not evil. But the love of money causes us to be greedy until all our focus is to get riches and earn more. Money is a good servant but never a good master.

[popoypalaboy03]

Actually, money is just a medium of exchange. Money does not have brain to think how to hurt people. It is the thought of human that used money as a tool for evil purpose. Many of them did wrong looking for a quick buck or two and end up doing some action that hurt another people. But they blame all the fault on money in fact is their brain that cause the evil.

Money is highly needed to buy our basic needs but some are too greedy for loving it so much than anything else that is why some are getting involved with criminalities like illegal drugs just to get more money.

What I have heard in a sunday preaching before. Money is not bad. Money is a tool to bless other people. A tool to help people in whatever need they have. Money becomes bad or becomes God if that only occupies your thought.

[Opnsrc]

Unfortunately it seems to me it is truth. People sell guns and drugs, they kill and go to the other crimes just to get money.

[GalahadSeika]

That is the sad truth that is happening in our world. Money seems to attract devilish acts and it nulls our conscience and drives us to do bad things. I, myself is guilty of doing this specially back then in my senior high years everytime there is a class project I am the one that buys the costumes and I must buy it in a discounted price so that the total money that Ive discounted will go to my pocket.

Money is used for Our everyday needs, its sole purpose is to be used to purchase Our needs. The root of evil is in the persons thoughts and not the material things He/She uses. I just want to clarify what you've said "the love of money", is it through admiring money, or even worshipping it? Or just wanting to have money. If so, then loving money may be a cause of doing bad deeds which results in evil.

[Andrianla]

Do not love something in this world, because it will plunge us. As we love also women who have not officially become a wife so when later he betrayed us it will hurt, also money if we really love money then the money itself that will trap us.

[rowel21]

Yes it is evry one desires something and if they dont get it they do something wrong

[Sidongsi13]

Yes, because some of people want an easy money they make bad decision by doing bad things. Like robbery, corruption etc..

[smith136]

yes, if there is no valuation of everything there will be no greed but this is very disastrous for an economy because you won't know the value of the work you have done for someone.

[ROB18]

For me, love is a positive word. So love for money is not bad. Lust of money is. Love means sharing, being patient, being a giver, its humble. So if you have a attitude of love with regards to money, it is something positive and very powerful. That's for me

[ajaymukund]

That's just a part of it. Much of that depends on whether our personality is good or bad. So money is created to balance life and its use if good will give us the love of money. Silver, but if the user is bad, will create a demon always in my mind, forced us to do bad.

[kodes88]

We all like money, it's a normal thing, so like the money is okay. But we should not like money too far, like money is a common thing, but we also have to like money fairly. Because if we overreact in loving money, it can lead us to do bad things.

No, I don't. The love of money is natural. It is a way to make life better..

Oh no, money was designed by people, not by God or something spiritual.
Love of money is not a root of evil. All depends from the person. If person is good, money can make good things and the opposite for evil person.

[BabatundeM]

I believe that the love of money is the root of evil, even the bible confirms it. There is a pushing spirit behind money that is evil in nature

[nguyenngocson]

Money is essential to life , most people are making money every day. I think the money is not bad but it depend on the users , if the money is bad ,  most people are making money are bad ?

[SamPo]

How can you tell if your boyfriend/girlfriend loves you?

Below are the 10 major signs to consider :-)

1. The way your boyfriend/girlfriend look at you.
2.Love is kind, If he/she is not kind, that is a bad sign.
3. He/She wants to meet your family and friends :-)
4. He/She notices things about you that others don't.
5. Your hapiness is his/her happiness.
6. He/She misses you when you're apart.
7.He/She  keeps you in the loop.
8. He/She is there for you even when it’s inconvenient.
9. He/She doesn’t give up.

I really believe that these signs are important but is not everything. I think you will never be totally sure if someone loves you because not everybody is the same and not what you think is love can be love for another person. For example, a friend of mine says that time is the most important thing in a relationship but to me are the feelings. So, the only thing you can do is trust her/him and let her/him how much you love them.

Well, maybe. Money is the root of all evil for those in despair of poverty. If us people needs money to feed our family we tend to do illegal and immoral things just to acquire such. That maybe is the reason why there is a saying that Money is the root of all evil.

I think no.Because as we can see money helps us a lot.And besides money arent bad till the user used it into bad things.If the person uses the money to supports only there vices,then it was bad.

[nagatraju]

Actually, money is just a medium of exchange. Money does not have brain to think how to hurt people. It is the thought of human that used money as a tool for evil purpose. Many of them did wrong looking for a quick buck or two and end up doing some action that hurt another people. But they blame all the fault on money in fact is their brain that cause the evil.

I totally agree...people just couldn't use this tool correctly...there is no fault of money...this is people's decision

[leshidogv2]

I think It's true,  if people are after for money or power they tend to take risk to do evil

[posoa]

I do believe that the love of money is the root of all evil, it is a very important fact that money is needed for most of our daily activities and needs, yet it is not a do or die affair where the love of money will cause man or woman to love money so desperately that, he or she can do any thing because of money.The love of money causes many to do things that are not worth mentioning. Because of the love of money , many kill, kidnap, rape, involve in rituals and other abominable acts that God condemns.Waiting for God's time is not in their agenda, as they are out to get this money at all cost.

[yoseph]

I think It's true,  if people are after for money or power they tend to take risk to do evil

It's very true, when people become very obsessed with money, they seem to do things that one wouldn't even do to get all the money that they want. In my country people are killing people for ritualistic money.

[0o]

Well, maybe not the root of ALL evil, but a big share for sure. Money is a tool, something to use, not to love.

[HollywoodCoins]

Let's not lie to ourselves: greed, murder, many bad things existed long before the money! the root of all evil Is in ourselves!
But money can serve as a good tool in our hands to create happiness.
Is it not happiness when someone can pay expensive treatment and save another life? And remember tons of humanitarian aid to starving and suffering countries! And how many cases of liberation of slaves ransom-way! Even just buy food for a stray dog ​​and look at her grateful eyes - this is also happiness ...
 Yes, many happiness we can made with help money, if WE will want to do it!

[mylifeisorandom]

Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. 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.

[Vibr56]

True, it's only evil if the person has evil intentions and is willing to break relationships just to gain money. If the reason is unselfish, it's a totally different thing.

They say that money is the root of all evil , but i think money is just a tool not a root of all evil. Money is needed to be able for us to buy our needs in life , to be able to pay our payments , bills etc. But the root of all evil itself is us , we make our own reason of unselfishness in life , our jealousy and envy to others to commit evil deeds.

It depends on the person how he /she handles everything. Money can give a person a evil mind or angel mind, some person uses money in evil thing like if you have a lot of money you can pay a person to kill the person you hate, in good things money can use in helping others like the poor people. So there's a lot of things money can use. We should think in a good way how we use our money.

[JTTech]

Definitely not the root of all evil. Certainly contributes to a massive amount of it though. A lot of people in society are forced to worry about and consider money far more than is healthy. The pursuit of money can reek alot of havok across the world. I believe evil is way deeper than money though.

[Bit Tuka]

The love of money is mentioned in the bible as "a" root of all evil. This means that it is just one of the many roots and that there are other roots. It is just so effective that a lot of people commit horrendous crimes and unimaginable things because of their love of money.

[Bit Tuka]

Money is just one of the many blessings that are given to us and it is our responsibility to learn how to use and manage it. We must focus on the giver, not the gift, not to the point that the gift becomes the center of our  lives. Money is a good servant, but is never a good master.

[David_M]

So this world was created, that everything that everyone needs, is not enough for everyone. The shortage of money is the root of evil

of course it is true, the love of money or wealth can cause humans to be ambitious, selfish, or even evil.
if man's love of money or wealth exceeds his love for God then all the evil will begin, many rich people who ambition to continue to gain wealth, they are very passionate in accumulating wealth and forget the poor around him, forget the God who has give them plenty of pleasure, they will do anything they can to achieve their desires.

[messi1306]

YES . The purpose of money is really to provide for our needs , to strengthen relationship and to enjoy our living but almost people don't realize that .
They think money is very important thing because if they have money , they can buy everything that they want

Well i personally think not. Money is but a tool for evil acts and doings. When it comes to money being a tool i believe that the root cause is greediness.

[kinilawnabakulaw]

The love of money is just one of the many roots of evil. Loving money is loving it above all, even God, and is a form of idolatry.

[Tope559]

Love of money is the root of evil . yes I agree
People kill for money
Money separate relationship
Money stop people from loving God and doing His will
Where there is huge amount of money,there is death
Most ladies look for money in love
I can say money is evil.

[DMiracle1]

We live in a world where money is necessary. Money is just another form of energy, and it’s what we attach to it that becomes the problem. It is important for nothing more than meeting our basic needs. It is NOT as important as relationships and the best we can do is to keep our relationship with money in check. Do not make the acquiring of it more important than anything else.

[Ocherill]

Ofcourse, just try to relate that whatever crime is going is happening just for the want of money

[squog]

Money is one of the greatest motivators for evil. I mean alot of people break laws for money. They also lie, steal and cheat to get money. But money is not the root of all evil. People kill out of jealousy and money doesn't have anything to do with it. Others kill merely on principle,  like race thay money doesn't have a thing for. I believe the root of all evil is evil itself. Money is merely a tool and as a tool it should be used and not to be worshipped. Perspective about these things are simple enough to understand but it's not easy to implement.

[pureesconned]

I think yes. This money is so addicting that even priests nowadays preach God for the money that he made himself

[omozie]

God has said that the love of money is the root of all evil so i believe it is. This is because i believe in God and His works. Remember, its only God that can say yes and no one can say no.

[Cordillera]

let’s consider the question before us: Do you believe that the love of money is the root of all evil? The misquoted version (“money is the root of all evil”) makes money and wealth the source (or root) of all evil in the world. This is clearly false. 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). However, when we reflect upon the correct citation of this verse, we see that 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. 

[Kogs]

It's never a thing like money or anything else you can imagine which is the root of evil.

It's always the human.

Money and other stuff might be a catalyst, but it's never the root cause. It's the different nature of people which make things good or bad.

[g-unit]

Human's nature is a root of evil but not money. Money have no consciousness. It is an item or verifiable record that is generally accepted as payment for goods and services and repayment of debts. It was created by people. But if you value money above everything else then probability of bad deeds increases greatly.

Before we use barter exchange for transactions, and people invented the logic of currency in form of coins (gold, silver, etcetera) to make transactions easier.

Money serves a purpose in the society, and because of its functionality many people have developed strong obsession in it. Money is never the root of evil but the person itself.

Intentions, motives and other personal agendas might be the "root of evil" not the tangible things.

[imacrypto]

YES, the LOVE of money and not money because when you love money and you can do anything to get it not minding the implications involve,that going extra mile of doing anything makes it evil.

[xvids]

I think it does when we love something sometimes we get greedy,
And for me being greedy could make you do something bad specially if you really need it.

[vofkin78]

The greed (love of money) is a very important factor but not the only one. Consider envy, for example

Of course,  too much love for money can be cause of evil. A person can do anything just to get money. He can lie,  rob and killed.  He can sacrifice his friends and love ones just for money. We should be the one who control not the other way around.

Yes because money can change a person from good to being evil. They say you will know the real character of a person through money. Money is being use by satan to deceive more and more people. He wants all the people to love the money so they may forget to call unto God.  Many people fall on to this trap of satan. Use money wisely and in a good way.

[mrsbee]

I think money is not the root of all evil, maybe most of the time but not at all times. Money will make a person bad if he or she made it as the most important in his life. A person may also bow down to money if her or she is in great need of money and no way to have it, which wil be the root of crimes.

[Prodigye]

Money is not the root of all evil, the root of all evil is the inherent evil in humans. It's the greed that humans possess that turns into evil.

[SkyFlakes]

Loving money is the root of evil but not all. When we value money over everything, we tend to do something just to have it. But loving money is the only catalyst of evil but also the money alone. Having money nowadays is a must for everyone since it is the only way to sustain our needs and wants. But if it will be attained through negative way, evil will come along. We cannot blame those people who will do bad things in order to have money because we don't see their life in their view. They do it maybe for their family to sustain their needs. But still it is done in a negative way so it still promotes evil. Thus, we can see that money should not be valued over something and should be get and used in the good way.

[Junel]

A lot of things here on earth are good, some of it people use for their own convenience. One of these is money. Having money is good if we are not the servant of it. But if the money will be the master by loving it will lead you to do evil.

Yes money is the root of evil, because sometimes just to have money other people will do something bad just to have money. And sometimes family start a war because of money, husband and wife start a fight because of money. So i agree it is the root of evil.

[Aristus]

Yes I do. Even without the Bible verse we can easily figure out why there are many people fighting for money, because of money the family members are fighting, politics are killing each other, yes they do such evil things because of position but behind that why they love to have power is because of money, and many more. There are many reasons why people are fighting each other and some lives are ruin because of that behavior whether you are part of the doers or the victims.

[Da2ja3]

Having money or wanting to make money is a good it, but when you make money the only thing you want to do neglecting every other thing, then it translates to greed  then it becomes evil

[Daniel91]

No.
The root of all evil is very well explained in the boom of Genesis.
Money is just result but not cause of our problems today.

[Qnetsupe]

I don't know about others but I earn money just basically to support my family not for my luxury
