1 | Does the Bible forbid one to swear upon | Matt 5:33 | Karen418 | 232384 | ||
Does the Bible forbid one to swear upon their souls salvation that they are telling someone one the truth. These are the circumstances: After 26 years of marriage I have suspected my husband of cheating. All circumstantial evidence that he has tried to explain away. Still does not "smell" right but I wanted to believe. Anyway, as thing progressed he accused me of infidelity. To make sure that he believed me I swore on my eternal salvation that I have never touched another man since we we have been married. I asked him for the same but he said that the Bible forbids this and that he would not risk his salvation. He has asked me to research this. I do not recall anything about this in the Bible. Please help me solve this. |

Karen418: Welcome to the Study Bible Forum, I wish it were for less serious conditions. The Bible Study Forum is not intended for counseling. However I will assist you with Scripture to answer your request. Matthew 5:33-37 is the verses on vows and taking oath's. The very odd thing is the Scripture you really need is just before this one. Matthew 5:31-32 is on divorce. Matthew 19:1-12 is also verse's on divorce. It seems there is game playing going on, when your husband allows you to take such a vow but for him it's too sacred. Unless you and your husband get into some Christian Counseling and get a hold on the hardness of heart this is going to be a rough road ahead for you both. May I suggest the pastor of the church you go to. You can call and see the pastor first to see is he is willing to help. Many people have endured unfaithfulness, and many seemingly no hope of any kind, and with the Lords help have been restored to a happy marriage. Matthew 19:26 assures with God nothing is impossible. Blessings. justme |

Thank you for your help. I pray that I was not in error by my making the oath. My statement should "be, ‘Yes, yes’ or ‘No, no’" Knowing now that anything beyond this is "evil" concerns me. Unfortunately, he will refuse any counseling. I have decided to seek counseling for myself. Thank you. | ||||||
