For today’s post we will tackle the question the Skeptic Annotated Bible asked: Is money good or bad?
Here are the two answers which the skeptic believes shows a Bible contradiction (skeptics’ comments included):
Money is the answer to all of life’s problems.
“Men prepare a meal for enjoyment, and wine makes life merry, and money is the answer to everything.” (Ecclesiastes 10:19)
Money (or the love of it) is the source of all evil.
“For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.” (1 Timothy 6:10)
(All Scriptural quotation comes from the New American Standard Bible)
Here’s a closer look at whether or not there is a contradiction:
