Love is the bond of perfection according to Col 3:14. This is where Christianity of the hour falls short of perfection, as they believe they can not be perfect because the serpent preacher behind the pulpit isn't. The same serpent that deceived Eve has deceived Christians by using vain deceit, philosophy, theology, out-of-context verses, misconceptions, and lies.

Without the live of the truth mankind do know know what the love of God in Christ is about 100% conditional love. Everybody claims to know God and love him, however, does God know you in Christ? The preacher preaches God loves you when it is nothing but idle words to occupy their pews every Sunday just vain deceit, vain words to get at your pocketbook and not for the saving of the soul. Without Jesus Christ the Son of God and his words in you there is no love in a man or woman as Jesus' words are spirit and life John 6:63. The preacher who preaches God is love does not themselves have a stitch of that love. The live they posess is the live of money the root of all evil, the live for your pocketbook and nothing for the saving of your soul. Sunday school is not that love of the truth. It is every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God spoken by the Son of God Jesus Christ the law of spirit and life the words of spirit and life which sents us free from the law of sin and death.

Being a sinner is not God's love. God's live is that he washed us from all sin through the blood words of Jesus John 15:3 and Rev 1:5. In order to have something you must first posess it. In order to have love you must first posess it. No truth = no love.

2nd Thess 2:10] And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

[11] And for this cause God shall send them strong deluson, that they should believe a lie:

[12] That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Sadly you are correct but you must not give up hope . There are plenty of Christians who are not interested in money , me for one :) and I'm sure I'm not alone on here in that regard . We live in this world that is money obsessed and of course we all need some money in order to eat and drink etc . It's easy to get sucked into materialism , especially if you have more cash than you actually need . We must protect ourselves from materialism , there are many ways to do this but it requires conscious effort and discipline . Give as much as you can to charity , don't buy clothes that you don't need and if you do need some , consider buying second hand . I have a set amount in my bank account and if my savings go over that amount then I give the excess away . As long as I have enough to pay my bills and replace my oven or washing machine I'm happy :) . When my elderly parents die , which is likely to be quite soon , I shall inherit some cash and I'm literally dreading it . If I was single and without a family I would just give it all away to charity but because I have a husband I feel conflicted . I don't want to deprive him of a nest egg for his old age . I try not to think about any of this as it depresses me ! I pray that God will let me know what I should do with this money when the time comes and that the time doesn't come at all ! I hope Jesus returns before my parents die :) . We cannot be responsible for what others do with their money and we shouldn't let others behaviour get us down and affect our joy in Christ . We are only responsible for our own behaviour , so if you try to be generous with what God has given you then you are on the right track . Don't let the selfish behaviour of others upset you , if you are doing your best to live in the love of God through Christ , then you can rejoice in that love and be happy and thank God for everything .

Amen, it is not money that is the root of all evil; it is the love of it 1st Timothy 6:10. Everyday we see this, churches going all out for big banquets, bigger churches, bigger sports attendees and equipment, bigger this and that more this and more that and nothing for the saving of the soul. Sports athletes on drugs, Hollywood movie actors on their 5th wife, divorce/adultery/fornication, etc. Big drug cartels shooting each other, terrorism everybody killing each other, etc. All because of the love of money. It is all corruption.

Preachers on their 3rd wife and writing perverted books and no bible just preaching their theology and philosophy for your pocketbook to fund more corruption. "Ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth." 2nd Timothy 3:7. There is no end to their books and vain deceit which is corruption. I was in a ministry for 13 years the preacher was using money to finance his granddaughter's lifestyle as he preached we are not to be entangled with the world and everybody had to live like hermits while he was driving Cadillacs, funding his granddaughter's acting career, and involved with the holidays of the world that he preached against to his congregation. He used the money from the offerings to make CDs and tapes of his sermons and resell them to people for $10.00 each. Preached on radio, TV, etc how people are supposed to live with just barely a dime and give your money to him. I finally woke up to this after 13 years and saw that his love was money and he was corrupting his whole family and using deceit to cover up his tracks. No brotherly love was found d in his churches as he did not believe in it, it was always the wrath of God this and that. Whenever somebody got too close to the truth he used to fire off out-of-context scriptures, as it was his way of saying "back off" he was in love with his money and would rather kick people out of his church than being exposed. Just like 3rd John 1:9-10. Just like Galatians 4:17.
