"For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil." (1 Timothy 6:10). Not ALL evil. One of the most misquoted scriptures in the Bible. But your point is well taken.

I quote from the King James bible, not the modern interpretations.

Pride, envy, hatred, lust, sexual sins... Roots are not always in money. Just food for thought. I definitely agree money is the root of many evils!

That's all well and good -- and I love the KJV and memorized scripture from that initially -- but that specific interpretation from the Greek would not explain Adam and Eve's original sin of pride. (or maybe it was envy?). Their sin had nothing to do with money. Pride is evil - it is sin, and sin is evil. Money was not the root of that evil. What was Satan's sin rooted in, that got him kicked out of heaven?
