Does The Bible Condemn Oath? Find Answers On Oath Taking In The Bible..

The Bible does not condemn oath, but the bible tells us that (The Second commandment of God) our oath should be either 'yes or No'- any thing else you say comes from the evil one. Don't use God's holy name too freely. If you take an oath and fail to fulfill it, you are guilty before God, because you are using his name in vain. But if you take an oath and fulfill it,you are not guilty before God, because you did not use his holy name in vain. If you take an oath with the name of God, that you are not the person who committed an offence, make sure that there is truth there to avoid using the name of God in vain.You should not tell lies under oath, instead you tell the truth under oath. The truth you tell under oath should be yes or no, because with an oath a serious matter is settled (Heb.6:16).

D S-econd commandment of God *forbids false swearing or*oath taking. Swearing/Oath-taking is to-take God as witness to state something positively. it is 2 appeal/invoke the divine *truthfulness as a pledge of one's own *truthfulness. *An oath engages the Lord's name. U *shall fear D LORD ur God; u shall serve him, & swear by his name. *Any false-oath taking calls on God to be a witness to lies. So never engage in any false oath taking, or better make a good pledge in God's name. Do not swear in heavens name because that is the throne of God nor even swearing with earth because here is God's foot-stool. Unlike those that swear "through to God who made me", Hmm Dear you better stop it, Do not give in your head in course of oath taking because you can never make any single hair. "Yes or No" should be your priority before God. Any other thing beyond the oath taking is from evil or evil itself. The book of James said it, beyond anything at all it may be we should never *swear on oath, it could be by Heaven or Earth but let your Yes be yes and No be no (Jam-es 5:12).Read all the quotations below you will understand that the bible does not condemn oath.

(Gala. 1:20) (Matt. 5:33-37) (2 Cor. 11:31) (2 Cor. 1:23) (Rom. 1:9) (Matt. 26:63-65) (Luk-e 1:73-74) (Rev. 10:5-6) (Sir-ach 23:9-11) (1 Kin-gs 17:12) (1 Sam-uel 20:21) (1 Kin-gs 18:10) (2 Chro. 15:14) (Heb. 6:16-17).
