I'm sorry if my post #16 sounded like I was nitpicking on your op.
I did not mean any offence about your post in general, was just trying to help others.
I strugle with spelling and grammer, and just poking at the keyboard is trouble.
Very well you could have had proper spacing when you typed it out or recopied,
then pasted in the thread and spaces disapeared, thats why I mentioned browsers.
I thought you post was readable, and it came from the heart.
One thing I would like to point out is everyone should be carefull
not to be " swearing to an oath" not that you did in your post.
It is written Galatians 3:10 “For as many as are of the works of the law are under
the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which
are written in the book of the law to do them.”
After Moses had read the law, all the blessings and the curses, the people then bound
themselves to the oath by agreeing to keep everything that was written in the law.
The word oath in Hebrew can also be defined and shown as the word curse in scripture.
And swearing to an oath can also be shown as binding ones soul to a curse as in Neh 10:29
“They clave to their brethren, their nobles, entered into a curse,and into an oath, to walk in
God's law, which was given by Moses the servant of God, and to observe and do all the com-
mandents of the Lord our Lord, and his judgments and his statutes;”
“Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice;
therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant
of God, because we have sinned against him.” Daniel 9:11
And here is where the curse came in by swearing themselves to the oath in Numbers 30:2
“If a man vow a vow unto the Lord, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond; he shall
not break his word, he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth.”
And so being unable to perform the vow to God to keep the whole law, because of the weakness
of the flesh and of sin, then the curses mentioned in the law were put into effect.
Jesus said in Matthew 5:33-37
“Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself,
but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths: But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven;
for it is God's throne: Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city
of the great King. Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white
or black.
But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay:
for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.”
And here again also in James 5:12 “But above all things, my brethren, swear not,
neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your
yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.”
And a word to the wise, if you ever have to go to court and are asked to forswear
yourself to an oath, or any other vow or oath for that matter…don’t do it! Peace.
