The topic of swearing and giving an oath is not as easily answered as some may think. Many concepts abound, pro and con. The Bible tells us that God swears; that angels swear; that righteous people in the Old Testament have sworn, and that people in the Millennium will swear.

Republican Presidential candidate and retired neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson brought again attention to the hypothesis that Joseph might have built the Egyptian pyramids.

Do Good to Those Who Hate You
Are Christ’s injunctions in the Sermon on the Mount to be applied literally? Are these practical commandments, showing us how we are to live?
