ok..just to let you know..i love to think..yes, i am a thinker..lol every once in a while something will come across my attention..and it will stay in my mind..so from now on when i start thinking on something i will use this blog to talk about it..and i would like some input!! do you disagree with me or not?? seriously, i really like peoples opinions. so dont be shy=) This blog is about swearing on the bible..the courts make you do it! should you have to? i say no..let me tell you why!
Why swear on something that tells you not to swear?? in the bible Matthews 5:33-37 it says this :
Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not break your oath, but keep the oaths you have made to the Lord.' 34But I tell you, Do not swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God's throne; 35or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. 36And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. 37Simply let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,'
If you are swearing an oath on the bible to be telling the trueth, Yet in the bible it is wrong to do so, would your oath be void? it says not to make oaths because you never fully understand what it is you are swearing too..you cannot swear on the hair of your head because you dont know every single hair...and what if you are not a believer of god should you swear on something that you dont believe in?? I once heard a man swear to God that he was an antheist..it really made me laugh! how can you swear on something that you dont believe in?? does that make it a lie??
What do you think?
