Re: Survival is really the root of all evil
But let's ask this. What is money?

Re: Survival is really the root of all evil
The reason I asked Luke if he loved money is that I'm certain that he has money. We all do. That which you have is something that you love. If you didn't love it, you wouldn't have it.

It is a tool to purchase things.

I don't see it this way. Being homeless is often a lifestyle choice. People who choose homelessness want power and control over their time.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to survive or even stocking up for a rainy day that is simply being wise. To love money to the extent that you would do anything for it or to put money first in your life that according to the bible is the root of all evil.

Re: Survival is really the root of all evil
If you love your life you will survive. If you hate your life, you will end it. Because you love your self, you continue living and surviving. Love of self is evil. We are evil, Jesus said so. So, due to love of self, we eat, we live, we survive.

If you love yourself so much that you refuse to hurt at all, you may end your life.
