HA Bible Study: Matthew 5:34-37

by — ,

Matthew 5:34-37
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.

Fucking discuss, goddammit.

    Republican are very religious people. They always use polite words when they’re fixing to fuck you over.

    Not sure that this passage is referring to curse words at all, but to searing an oath or allegiance. So swearing on the bible isn’t cool either.

    This could be a statement that Jesus is using the concept of the social contract and that from birth it exists and there is no need to swear to it.
    It cold also be a statement against the state and that men should not swear allegiance to a state or a king or to even a god. This kind of statement even if misinterpreted could concern Rome’s person in charge in Judea and could get one crucified, or thrown in with the lions when Christians refused to swear to Rome. All those good Christians were given a chance to swear to the state and some of course did and escaped the lions. Brining up he question is it better to be a live Christian who determined this guidance, or lion food because you don’t appreciate the culture and civilization that is Rome and the running water…don’t forget the fresh running water of Rome.

    If swearing’s wrong I guess Puddy’s cursed to hell. That guy spews enough verbal diarrhea to fertilize several acres of farmland.

Can’t Bring Yourself to Type the Word “Ass”?
