Is it a sin to swear on the Bible? In Matthew 5:33-37 (KJV) Jesus says, "Swear not at all," but "let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay."
Sermon on the Mount Part 9 with Matt Hepner and TopLobsta: swearing vs. cursing, the Lord's name in vain, and why more than yes or no cometh of evil.
Taking the Lord's name in vain is less about hitting your thumb with a hammer and more like a bride taking her husband's name and dishonoring it (Exodus 20:7; Proverbs 30:8-9). John Bunyan defines vain swearing as a frivolous and wicked calling upon God to witness, so an oath on the Bible, or on anything else, is still more than yes or no. Lying shows you fear man more than God. Then heaven as God's throne (Revelation 21, Genesis 28, John 1), contentment and the love of money (1 Timothy 6), and resist not evil (Matthew 5:38-42): dead to sin, alive unto God (Romans 6).
Primary passage: Matthew 5:33-37 (KJV)
