Subject: why are some Christians ok with swearing |
Bible Note: Greetings Colin, I most certainly agree, Jesus never used profanity. I believe that Hebrews 6:13 is the verse that you are looking for. But what the Lord means by "swearing by Himself" does not mean that He is using 'profanity', but it means that He is making an OATH that only God can uphold. Blessings to you, Makarios |
