ReplyDeleteIt's love of money. Why do people keep getting this wrong?
The devils' greatest trick is to first get people to believe he doesn't exist. Act Two, is to produce a counterfeit of everything holy. If you can't do that, then alter it slightly, such as say, money is the root of all evil, when Scripture clearly says, the Love of money is the root of all evil. Incidentaly, a capitalist Christian would not love money, as it would be misplaced to love something like money, when we're told to love one another. Literally, the love of money is misplaced, or counterfeit, love. Ergo, the counterfeit saying. If you love money, and you're a Christian, then you're not behaving like one. As a Christian, I am not a good man. I am just a man trying very hard to be good. Hi, Kent. How are things out there in the desert?
