Is money really the root of all evil?

I really want to correct anybody who still thinks "Money is the root of all evil.". No it isn't! At first I also thought so. 1 Timothy 6:10 says:"For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs."

To quote somebody who wrote "There is no inherant sanctity in being poor. There is no sanctity in being rich either. However, the manner in which we become poor or rich has very much to do with virtue or the lack."

To quote another: "The only thing evil about money is how some people use it or worship it. Now, money, like most things, is just a thing, a tool. It's how you look at and how you use His things (for all things belong to God) that makes the difference here. As in all things with God, motive , if not being everything, is certainly the main thing!"
