    The Bible is misquoted by many as saying that money is the root of all evil. But it actually says "the LOVE of money is the root of all evils". When people value money more than anything ethical, it becomes a problem. I'm kinda glad I'm not wealthy by most peoples standards. The are very generous wealthy people, no doubt, but my guess is that they are in the minority. But in my mind, intentionally ripping someone off is equivalent to selling your soul. Read George Washington's farewell address to the nation. Its astounding. Just my two cents.

    Bobbo Morgan OK many of the others are either copying errors that doesn't change the meaning of the verse chapter or book. Others are misunderstanding of by you some mistranlations and some by a simplistic understanding due to reading out of context. Why would you take these examples at face value without understanding the translation or the verse in context? It's like when atheist say I don't believe in an old man living in the sky who sent himself to earth so he can be killed for the sin of another man. Well most don't believe this either. It's wrong theologically.
