So I have a pet peeve. It is people misquoting things and acting all smart and self-righteous. When someone posts this, it takes all I can not to just drop knowledge. I will just write this one post instead of commenting on many posts.
When you see this, you are confusing what the Bible says with a song by the Andrew Sisters. It's a catchy fun little song, and I love the Andrew Sisters. That song, does grate on my nerves though. The Bible does not say that money is the root of evil. Inanimate objects aren't evil. Not even the apple that got us all in this mess. It was disobeying God that brought sin into the world.
The exact quote from 1 Timothy 6:10, "For the love of money is a root of>all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pang.">It's not even really the desire for money that is the issue, it's that the desire of money pulls you away from God and depending on his goodness and provision. You make money your idol and source of satisfaction; unfortunately, money (insert any other earthly thing) will never satisfy your need for God.
