Thank you. Isn't it amazing that misquoting the Bible is one of the favorite ways of discreditting it?

10-4

For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 1 Tim 6:10

"The love of money which is the root of all evil"

Score, goal, game over.

It should be also noted though that money can also be a powerful facilitator of good, but in order to get the good, one must give away the money for it.

Hi there. Long time no debate. Have you read the entire piece yet?

Maybe you should READ the article before posting that Ayn Rand is "misquoting" the Bible:
Or did you say it's the love of money that's the root of all evil? To love a thing is to know and love its nature. To love money is to know and love the fact that money is the creation of the best power within you, and your passkey to trade your effort for the effort of the best among men. It's the person who would sell his soul for a nickle, who is loudest in proclaiming his hatred of money - and he has good reason to hate it. The lovers of money are willing to work for it. They know that are able to deserve it.

interesting that the author starts with his own title, then uses much of the article to prove the correction that you made. if he had only read his bible...

Actually, the correct translation of the Bible passage is, "The love of money is the root of all kinds (or manner) of evil."

Correct.
I wish people would remember that.
Too many people misquote the Bible.
