About this sermon

Should Christians swear oaths? Or did Jesus forbid them entirely? In Matthew 5:33-37, Jesus says, "Do not take an oath at all." On the surface, that seems pretty clear-cut. But what about getting married? What about court? What about hand-on-the-Bible moments? Did Jesus actually mean Christians should never make any oath under any circumstance? In this conversation, Dr. Erik Thoennes digs into one of the more puzzling passages in the Sermon on the Mount and explore why thoughtful Christians have landed on different sides of this question for centuries.
