7/23/2023 0 Comments When jesus say yes don't say noThis type of swearing isn’t about using profanity although scripture clearly condemns using coarse language especially among believers. Rather we are to be people who speak plainly, clearly, and truthfully so that we aren’t condemned by our own words. We aren’t to wade in the subtle grey areas of ambiguity with our words. Whatever the reason, God expects His children to be clear cut with their words. We may flirt with tendencies towards deceitfulness and not want others to know our true intentions. Or maybe because it’s easier to put off a tough decision for a later time. Why is it so difficult for us to simply say yes or no? Perhaps because we like the ambiguity of not having to follow through with what we say. All you need to say is a simple “Yes” or “No.” Otherwise you will be condemned” (James 5:12). “Above all, my brothers and sisters, do not swear-not by heaven or by earth or by anything else.
