Subject: Is is right to call money a seed? |
Bible Note: Hello Bob Y, Thanks for your response. Steve already corrected me on "Love" and it appears you want to correct me on "all kinds". I have looked at many different translations, which I will list some below, but what I think is the right way to test the translations and/or transliterations is to let scripture interpret scripture and study words into their original languages. NKJV - For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, NASB - For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, ASV - For the love of money is a root af all kinds of evil, NIV - For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, NLT - For the love of money is at the root of all kinds of evil, And then: RSV - For the love of money is the root of all evils, Websters - For the love of money is the root of all evil, Young's - for a root of all the evils is the love of money Darby's - For the love of money is(the) root of every evil AV - For the love of money is the root of all evil I believe "all evil" is the right translation because: Luke 16:13 - No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other: or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon." mammon in the Strongs is Greek 3126 - mammonas; of Chald. or (confidence, i.e. fig, wealth, personified); mammonas, i.e. avarice(deified):-mammon avarice(websters dictionary)- excessive or insatiable desire for wealth or gain: greediness,cupidity deify(Websters Dict.)-\vt-fied- (1)(a) to make a god of (b) to take an object of worship (2) to glorify as supreme worth Ezekiel 28:1-10 will tell you about the type of man, who in history was Ithobalus II (Heb.-'ethbaal) which I believe is symbolic of the false prophet of Rev 16:13 and of Rev 13:5-10. Then, if you read Ezekiel 28:11-19, which I believe is a supernatural being addressed, you have a symbolic description of the dragon in Rev. 16:13 and the dragon of Rev 13:11-18. He whom the "prince of Tyre" was only a type; He who was using that "prince" as one of his agents to secure the world power(The Beast system of Rev 13:1-4 and the beast of Rev16:13). He is not a mere "man" as "the prince of Tyre"(see Eze 28:9) His description (Eze 28:12-17) is superterrestrial, and superhuman, and can refer to no other than satan himself. I agree with you that it is a shame what pastors do regarding money and seeds as if they have something to do witheach other, but I disagree with the versions that say the love of money is the root of all "kinds of" evil because I believe scripture clearly supports that satan and his greed which is seen in jealousy, envy, and power are all caused by the love of money which I believe is the ROOT of ALL evil, which I believe marks satans trail in the world.
