"the love of money is *THE* root of *ALL* evil" in 1 Tim. 6:10(an example: we all agree that the suicide bombers in Iraq & palestine are committing evils, but certainly NOT for love of money!)

Again, more ignorance is demonstrated, this time it is an ignorance in knowing how to read and study your Bible. One of the basic rules of Bible interpretation is to KEEP THINGS IN ITS CONTEXT.
The context of I Tim. 6:10 reveals that the “evil” being spoken of is not “evil” in general, but rather a specific type of evil. It is the type of evil that foolish rich men fall into through their lusts. The “goof” here is on the opponent’s behalf in regards to his inability to understand the context of what he is reading in his Bible.
