  Since money is simply a medium of exchange, it is not evil by default. What makes people evil is the spirit of wickedness, which, when they serve money (i.e. they are greedy) is further increased in potency.

  Money is not evil. The love of money is the root of all evil. This simply means that when one "serves" or "obeys" money and the pursuit of it outside of God's will, one ends up doing more evil through this.
  
  Lastly, please note that Yeshua/Jesus did not reject money or wealth. He simply refused to do the will of Lucifer and rejected his terms for acquiring the kingdoms of the world.
  
  Please learn the difference between righteously obtained wealth and what the Word of God calls a "fool's prosperity".
  
  Sincerely,
  Apostle Mawuetornam Dugbazah
  Wealth is necessary in the Kingdom of God.

  So may I ask another question? Yisrael (of old) was commanded by Yahweh to have a gold standard currency known as the Shekel.
  
  Is the Shekel standard currency instituted by God, something to be considered evil as well?

  Good day.

  Tithing and offering is still in effect for the New Testament believer.

  The article seem useless to you because you read it having made your mind already.The heading reads something Bible controversy... The references from the bible as to whether money is good or bad are also there. The article solicit your opinion on the matter but not emphatically supporting one side, say money is bad. The bible says two different things and thats the problem.

  Clearly, you did not read the article well enough to digest what it said.
  
  I read it three times and noted the scripture quotes very well. The Bible does not sit well in the CARNAL mind of a disobedient child of God. Such a mind wrestles with the simplest of doctrines and usually PICKS and CHOOSES what it will accept and what it will reject based on preference.
  
  Finally, please know that the Bible DOES NOT say two different things about money. That kind of talk means you do not obey the law of the tithe probably.

  Churches are interested in tithing without recourse to its origin and purpose because the spirit of money have taken over the centre of their theme. Do you know, that the priesthood who are given the right to live on part of the tithe are not suppose to own properties? Yes, because their portion of wealth or property is God. But what do we see with people like you Apostle who have made tithe your property, denying the poor,widows and strangers their portion of God grace.Today Apostles, Reverends and prophets are among the worlds rich and property owners. I believe what you dont know about money is that the spirit behind it lures those who crave it to live different lifestyles which they do not realize themselves because pride blinds their reasoning, to make feel that they are doing the right thing.Now about your why i believe didn't read the article well, read again the paragraph which read..Money is no god (spirit) till we make it one, By our own attitude towards money, we make money become god.

  Stop writing under a moniker and we will know you by your unsound doctrine and false accusations against leaders in the church.
  
  You are OBVIOUSLY unschooled in both Torah and New Testament doctrine. This is why I said it righteously: you probably DO NOT tithe and hate people with money because you are broke.
  
  Stop hating and get a job, a vocation and hate no longer those who prosper in life.
  
  You are not being righteous by falsely accusing an apostle of God: you are a cursed because of such things. Do you not know that it is unrighteous to falsely accuse a man?
  
  Sincerely,
  Apostle Mawuetornam Dugbazah
  Stop cursing men and falsely accusing people who you do not know. It brings a curse on your life.

  Thank you Apostle, for your advise. I don't know where i stood to accuse you of anything. I don't know how or what you see in this article that seems to disturb you so much. I am not an authority in scripture. i only tried to put forward my opinion for discussion, to enable me learn other people's view.And thank you for again for your contribution. i am honored that you even spent your precious time to read and to voice out your opinion. And mind you, those who are quick to curse, draw curses unto themselves because the bible says those who draw the sword shall die by the sword.

  Nice input but I have these three comments to make:
  1. Wealth/Money is not evil in itself but our attitude towards it is where the problem lies. Christians must therefore learn the right attitude toward handling wealth in line with Biblical Principles.
  2. Poverty by itself is not a guarantee for entry into Heaven. There are times we cannot help but in most cases people can do something about their poor living conditions. We must learn how to use our God-given intelligence to improve our conditions.
  3 Inasmuch as we cannot all be the same on the economic ladder, let us learn how to share the resources of this world so that no one is left out because God's gifts are for all His children.
