The Love of Money- A Root of All Kinds Evil or Some kinds of Evil 1Timothy 6:10?

  • Why do some people believe that All kinds Evil=Some kinds of evil the scripture states that loving money is a root of All Kinds of Evil not just Some Kinds of evil.1Timothy 6:10 New International Version (NIV) 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. Category

  • Answer:

    All kinds of evil is a bunch of evil, but it is still some kinds, too. 1 Timothy 6:10 - For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. ~ Note: The word strayed in the KJV is erred. It also means seduce, to lead away from the truth to error. Surely, the love of money can seduce a person and make them lose faith that they once had. The word for from also means out of, off, of separation, of departing, of fleeing, of any kind of separation of one thing from another by which the union of fellowship of the two is destroyed. Clearly, this is strong proof that someone can destroy their salvation. I don't think money in and of itself is a problem if you are not selfish and helping people with it, but the love of money that makes one greedy is.
