Breaking the Curse of Poverty  David K. Owusu


               The  other  Scripture  that  has  been  misinterpreted  is  1 Timothy
               6:10a


                  “The love of money is the root of all evil.” [NKJV]


               Jesus did not say money is the root of all evil.  He said the LOVE of
               money is the root of all evil.


               The  word  “LOVE”  used  in  this  context  is  a  greedy  desire  and
               willingness to get money unethically or by any means possible.  This
               kind of thinking will cause one to kill for money, or get into illegal
               business – just to make money. It is this greedy desire that causes
               evil; nOT that money is evil.
