The Root of All Evils
Greetings to @sahmie. I'm glad to express myself literally even if I'm not flamed perfectly with muscular knowledge to define this terminology. I understand that money is good, not to an extent, but to an height. When it becomes an addiction, it becomes toxic to human lives.
I think that is the reason behind Bible affirmation.
The love of money is the root of all evil.
Anyway, I'm gonna walk you through various lane to enable you understand the biblical affirmation.
Money is not the root of all evil. It all depends on how money is been used. Money is a Blessing to man's life. You can easily describe a blessed man and an unblessed man when you feel or hear of the abundance of wealth within him. It becomes evil when it is spent recklessly on ostentatious materials that does not impact lives.
There are people that most times merely looking at the way they are lavishing the money God has given to them, it pains you to the core of snatching it from them. It looks as if they don't really have a breakdown or a financial plan that could help them maintain the money. Part of it is a yoke that needs to be broken for them to be release.
Yes. I will always use men of God as samples. These are influential men that have dedicated themselves to be helpers and diviners to people. Most of these ministers spent their money on humanity and that is the reason why they are tagged as: humanitarian or philanthropist.
Money have been used on various dimension. Kindly check about this minister online: Apostle Dr. Chibuzor Gift Chinyere, that is a typical example of what I'm talking about. How about Pastor W.F.Kumuyi, this are heavenly elites that invest their wealth on transformation of lives. Thousands of people all over the world have been redeemed in various ways.
I see it as a blessing. Like they say:
Money stop nonsense
For real, money stop nonsense. When you have money, there's this respects offered to you from people. Although, in my situation I was trained in a way that even if you are blessed financially, there should be a coding applied to your life that nobody can easily detects your height of wealth.
I don't know about others. There are people that their abundance of wealth can be perceived; there are those that their abundance of wealth can't be perceived, find out the group you belong and culture yourself.
Yes. Some politicians are rightful example. I've seen it several times and I'm yet to see it again. Most times I wander if these people are humans. Money can control their emotions! I forbid such.
I've also seen uncles that uses their money to dominate everything that belongs to the family. That is evilly—God hate such.

Hi @chison77, It's insightful that you see money as a blessing, emphasizing its impact on behavior and the importance of responsible use. The examples of ministers using wealth for positive change are compelling. Your perspective on maintaining a humble profile despite financial success adds depth to the discussion. You gave an example how how people use money to dominate others, Well-articulated thoughts!

I found your entry very beautiful, money is indeed a blessing and a very obvious way to quantify a blessed person. I think I've learnt that even if I'm blessed abundantly, my level of wealth should not be easily perceived. All the best in the contest
Thank you @triple-a, you really took down digesting my points.
Beautiful striking points made.
I feel like money is determined by the personality of the person holding it. Like you've mentioned men of God as being a source blessing by using money positively, others in similar position may choose yo use it negatively.
Thank you @ahbaz. You're welcome to my personal blog
