One thing that I do know is that everyone Idolizes money and when you Idolizes something; it become some sort of marriage because you have sworn devotion to it; and when a person has done this; they has abandon or divorced God. And now God isn't in their present, and which means you have open the door for all kinds of mishaps; because there isn't any hedge around you keeping satan from entering into you. There's no way to prevent all this evil from doing its job, because God had given a lease that he can stay here for a certain period, but when that lease expires, satan will be evicted along with those whom had served him well over the years of his reign.

The love of money is the problem not the actual money. Like you also said God is love, so the bible says in Matthew 6:24 “No one can slave for two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other,+or he will stick to the one and despise the other. YOU cannot slave for God and for Riches.*+
So like some have said money can be useful. However its being a slave for it, making it our priority in life that is the issue.

If we could house and feed the whole world at no cost, why are most if not all Christians here on CC agsinst this? It will be free for you too.
If this cannot happen now then why not? Is it Jesus, satan or ourselves holding us back from enjoying the fruit of the field? If we were to do thisn I promise God a bless us so much, we'd get sick of it if there was ever such a thing!

Money is not the root of all evil, we just need to use it for His purposes in life, the Lord leads 
"...you follow Me." John 21:22

Can we totally eradicate money? Yes! It is a tree. A piece of paper with no value in it of itself. Are you paying rent or a mortgage? You won't have to pay another cent and everything YOU need is given to the full! Not for money but because it is the right thing to do, and I want my Lord to see love, and us loving eachother.
Even IF the majority of the worlds population wants to do absolutely nothing but get everything handed to them, I would work for them for free because my family is getting the same! And 1 in a 1000 think like me, then that leaves us with 7 million atleast that will work for free as well. There are more than that willing to work now who can never get a "job" that will LOVE to work to support their families.
These are the words you need to put to the test! Help me to show the world why Christ lives in our hearts!
Um, yeah, in fact they do... ants which have been working receive sustenance either from other ants who have extra, or from the colony's food stash. There's a trade between labor and food. An ant that doesn't work, or doing something, is either sick or dying and there are ants who tend to them, or in some cases remove them from the colony in case disease spreads.

was appointed by the holy spirit,,,,,,and then presented to the apostles by Barnabas,,,then peter,James and john gave letter of endorsement to Paul,,,,,"acts chapter 15 verse's 23-25" announcing them as valid men of god.,,,,then in verse "27,,of chapter 15 of the book of acts" provided also(by sending the witness of two men namely Judas and Silas to give confession by mouth their(Paul and Barnabas) validity.
now who should we believe?????,,,,,,money is the root of all evil?,,,,,,,,,,or money is not the root of all evil,,,,,,,,,,"?",,,,,
Look, in its simplest form, money is simply trade... I'll do this for that. In essence, a farmer trades his labor for his crop; there may be no monetary transaction going on, but there is a tradeoff.
Our world has evolved with this trade off at almost every level... such as rhinoceros provide mobility and protection to birds who trade their love for parasites and eat the ticks on the rhino's back... a fungus will provide vital nutrients to trees who return the favor of providing simple sugars which the fungus can absorb readily...
Early humans would have traded services for goods, such as protection from the elements for a stronger family unit.
Trade has nothing to do with religion, it's in our DNA and comes naturally. Even without paper money, there will always be trade

Money is the root of all kinds of evil? That's what another verse says. So do they contradict one another? Nope. Money is the root of all evil isn't in there at all.
1 Timothy 6:10 "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs."

First of all even without having money, there would still be evil. The capitalistic system is not evil, it is when some rich people (not all) exploit because of greed. So money is not evil. While it is good to wish that we really did not have the poor, the reality is we do. While eliminating poverty is an ambitious goal, we should help those who need help. Also, when we take away money, people will just greedy for phones and other electronics. There would still be crime, stealing, and various other kinds of sin. Look to the Lord not to socialism and communism they do not save. Only Jesus can save, but if you have worldly agenda it will fail. It sounds good in theory a society without money but it will actually lead to even worse things. So while you will debate and say that money is evil, it is not. If money was not evil, then why did Jesus pay the tax by opening a fish with a silver coin. God has the plan to save people and for us to be agents of His truth. This idea works well on paper but does not translate to real life. Even such a system was still be exploited by some who is greedy. The human vices will never disappear all the way, until all come to Christ (which sadly will not happen) or Jesus comes the second time.

The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have me.
