I think you could take away that Christ advocated slavery because He uses the word slaves. I think the reason He spoke against oaths of that day is because the oaths of that time were closer to taking the Lord's name in vain. I think you would have to go outside the The Philosopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03953863138408277730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17267677.post-1132673901646046822005-11-22T11:38:00.000-04:002005-11-22T11:38:00.000-04:00Hey Brandon,Not exactly sure what you are saying. ...Hey Brandon,<BR/><BR/>Not exactly sure what you are saying. Are you then supporting oaths? Jesus clearly said we are not to swear by anything, either in heaven or on earth, or make an oath of any kind. He simplified this and told us that our "yes" is sufficient as it is telling of our character. James later confirms this.<BR/><BR/>In regard to Paul in Galatians, I wouldn't call that swearing.

The medical community takes oaths, the military takes oaths. I'm curious what your thoughts are on that. I'm also curious if your view on Matthew 5:33-37 applies to Paul and the Seventh Angel when they swore before God in Galatians 1:20 and Revelations 10:5-7?<BR/><BR/>I don't think I need to The Philosopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03953863138408277730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17267677.post-1132601288398057812005-11-21T15:28:00.000-04:002005-11-21T15:28:00.000-04:00Kristy Gallant signed my webpage!?
