Should Christians Swear by an Oath? - Herman L Hoeh - January 1952

Herman L Hoeh

Most everyone has heard the words of Jesus "Swear not at all." But we do not seem to believe they were for us. Why? Where can we prove that Jesus told the people a falsehood? Do we think the Bible is contradictory when it says, "Thou shalt swear by his name"? This seems to be the usual thought - that the Bible is full of contradictions - and so we just take what pleases us and follow what the people in the world customarily do. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
