It’s a love of money is the root of all evil. Presumably the Revs only like it a wee bit…
They’re “unburdening” you
Not a Christian so I’m just guessing but I feel like the church may need funding? Like maybe crowdfunding to donate to the poor or for the expenses of any events they organize?
1 Timothy 6:10 (NIV)
“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.”
>The Yen Buddhists are the richest religious sect in the universe. They hold that the accumulation of money is a great evil and a burden to the soul. They therefore, regardless of personal hazard, see it as their unpleasant duty to acquire as much as possible in order to reduce the risk to innocent people.
>>*Witches Abroad* by Terry Pratchett
Misquoted. It’s the LOVE OF money that is the root of all evil.
r/im14andthisisdeep
Because that’s not the verse
The LOVE of money is the root of all evil.
To launder it. Duh
Because money is a tool. It can be used to do horrible things or great things. It’s not about the money itself but the person who uses it. We need money to interact with the world today.
r/im12andthisisdeep
Bc churches are evil
It isn’t. You’re looking for r/iam14andthisisdeep
Church is a place where like minded people come to practice a religion. they are asked to donate to help pay electric, water, full time pastor, and any other bill that you would have from running a big building. The world runs on money so unfortunately so does the building they practice in.
Hurr durr religion bad
Money isnt the root of all evil. The LOVE of money is
The love of money is the root of all evil. Get your quotes correct.
It’s the love of money, not money itself. So no, no point was made.
The *love of money.
Those lawsuits ain’t going to fund themselves!
Because Churches don’t have a traditional revenue stream to pay for the expenses of their services? C’mon don’t act like this stupid sandwich board is deep
The LOVE of money is the root of all evil. Not money itself
Misquote, but they have bills to pay too.
They don’t have a point.
That’s a misquote.
It’s the love of money.
A lot of people pointing out that you misquoted….are actually misquoting themselves…..
You’re missing the **love of** and **all kinds of**
It’s the *love of* money (as in, the greedy wanton ruthless harmful pursuit and hordimg) not the tool that physical money is.
And this is what happened when you get something off without looking it up.
Because not paying bills is the root of eviction.
1. The LOVE of money is the root of all kinds of evil
2. Churches need money to function (utilities, paying pastors etc.) and distribute wealth and donations to the needy (aka the poor) as well as other charitable causes.
Best read scripture accurately. The love of money is what it says.
The LOVE for money is the root of all evil. That’s what the scripture actually says. Money in and of itself is just colored paper. The evil some people will commit to get it is what is evil
No, they really don’t have a point. It misquotes the verse completely to actively miss the point.
It’s the LOVE of money that’s the root of evil they say.
Politicians ask for it also….🤔
If money is the root of all evil then why do they ask for it when I order a cheeseburger?!?! Checkmate atheists!
Churches: The Lord sayeth “Give unto Cesar that which is Cesar’s. (PAY YOUR TAXES)”
Also Churches: No we don’t pay taxes and we shouldn’t have to.
The Love of money is the root of all evil according to the Bible. I don’t understand why people omit the word love when saying this.
The *love* of money
Because it costs money to run a church? This is a pretty bad atheist gotcha even for Reddit lol.
