What was the root of all evil before money?

Question

Thanks

Answer 1

Greed is the root of all evil.  That doesn't necessarily mean money.  It could be gold, oil or political power.

Answer 2

The wheel.

Answer 3

most evil stems from greed, power, lust which existed long before "money" came into the picture. and a bloated ego just aggravates the whole scenario.

Answer 4

Probably adultry

Answer 5

Money is merely pieces of paper and shaped metal alloys it is people who are inherently evil with, or without money, It's just that money exposes what's actually inside the person who has it.

So it is people not money that are the root of all evil.

Answer 6

Money isn't the root of all evil, the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil.

May the Lord Jesus Christ bless you.

Answer 7

Actually, money is NOT the root of all evil, it's a common misquote.

The correct quote from the Bible reads that "The love of money is the root of all evil."  1 Timothy 6:10

So, money is not inherently evil, it's OK to have it and use it, as long as you don't enjoy it too much.
