1 | Is it wrong to swear or take an oath? | Matt 5:34 | EdB | 15631 | ||
Hank The whole idea of putting someone under oath was the reasoning that even a liar would be complied to speak the truth because of his fear of God. However as society continues to minimize God to the point of God being nonexistent, your right liars feel no compulsion to tell the truth. In fact most oaths are viewed as nothing more than some meaningless words mindlessly repeated, case in point our wedding vows and the rate of divorces. |

2 | Is it wrong to swear or take an oath? | Matt 5:34 | Hank | 15635 | ||
Your comment about wedding vows and rates of divorce reminds me of a definition I read once of our rootless society. It pointed out that our definition of commitment is when a man and a woman live together without a marriage certificate in a rented house furnished by rented furniture and drive a rented car. Now, that's real commitment, isn't it? --Hank | ||||||
3 | Is it wrong to swear or take an oath? | Matt 5:34 | EdB | 15647 | ||
Hank Unfortunately it is an accurate portrait of much of our society today. With abortion and divorce as prime indicators of how little commitment people are willing to make. Is it any wonder we can’t seem to find justice, lost all belief in the sanctity of life and get can't people committed to the church? We not only have disposable income, but disposal marriages and disposal children as evidenced by the number of abortions and deserted children. With all of this going on our society has come to view lying under oath to be of no real concern. As proven by our nations reaction to Monica affair. |
