The Bible proven right yet

Over and over, social
science data tends to confirm the Scriptures.
A new study verifies the
truth revealed in Paul’s statement in the Bible that the LOVE OF MONEY is a root of all kinds of evil.
Paul didn’t say that money
is the root of evil---although I’ve heard people misrepresent the Bible as
supposedly saying that. Nor did he say it’s the lack of money that is the root
of evil, although I’ve heard some people say that’s what it should say.
Yet I’ve known some poor
people who were very greedy, and some rich who were not.
Well, a new study validates
what the Bible said 2,000 years ago---not that it needs validation---that the
love of money is indeed a corrupting influence.
Greed is not a matter of
meeting basic needs. Greed involves breaking the Tenth Commandment: "You
shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's
wife, or his manservant or his maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs
to your neighbor."
GREED IS "THE DESIRE FOR MORE"---and more and more and more, and there is no end to
it. Both the Bible and the social science research documents that the love of
money corrupts
