Subject: Is it wrong to swear or take an oath? |
Bible Note: Exactly! And this, I believe, is really all that is needed between Christians who are filled with the Holy Spirit and act in truth and in love. All we need is our friend's word. We have no need to make oaths or promises or swearing on anything. Not only would this relieve us as Christians of the pain of getting into an "oath" that compromises our faith, but this also builds a trust on a personal level with each other (when your friend keeps his word) that cannot be replaced!
