The love of money, no matter what the cost to human life, is evil.
Luke 16:14-15
14 Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they derided Him. 15 And He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God.
A person who cannot handle money certainly cannot handle spiritual matters that are of much more value. NKJ Bible.
mammon (Gk. mammōnas) (16:9, 11; Matt. 6:24) Strong’s #3126: The Greek word is a transliteration of a common Aramaic word mamona, which means “wealth,” “money,” or “property.” It is impossible to serve this god called “mammon” and the true God at the same time. In chapter 16, this word is used for “riches,” considered an idol, master, or god of the human heart that is in conflict with the true God.
Psalm 7:9 Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the just; for the righteous God tests the hearts and minds.
Proverbs 16:5 Everyone proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD; though they join forces, none will go unpunished.
