"Is money good or bad?" (Alleged Contradiction #E9639)
A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things.
Ecclesiastes 10:19
For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
I Timothy 6:10
Response
The Bible says that the love of money is the root of all evil, not money itself. Furthermore, Ecclesiastes simply points out that money solves all problems—from an earthly sense only. It does not solve any spiritual problems, and many of the richest people are the most miserable. But from a physical sense, money solves a lot of problems. Thus, there is no contradiction.
