VIII. MAIN BODY:

How to end all argument?

A. Men swear by someone greater than themselves

"Men swear by someone greater than themselves,"

Hebrews 6:13 (Amplified Bible)

6:13 For when God made [His] promise to Abraham, He swore by Himself, since He had no one greater by whom to swear,

Genesis 14:22 (Amplified Bible)

14:22 But Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lifted up my hand and sworn to the Lord, God Most High, the Possessor and Maker of heaven and earth,

Genesis 21:23 (Amplified Bible)

21:23 So now, swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me or with my son or with my posterity; but as I have dealt with you kindly, you will do the same with me and with the land in which you have sojourned.

Men swear by GOD. We're not allowed to swear by GOD or His throne, but we just say yes when we mean yes, and no when we mean no.

James 5:12 (Amplified Bible)

5:12 But above all [things], my brethren, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or by any other oath; but let your yes be [a simple] yes, and your no be [a simple] no, so that you may not sin and fall under condemnation.

We invoke a witness that is Eternal, that is our GOD.

B. The Oath confirms what is said

"and the oath confirms what is said"

Oath came from the Greek word: "horkos" meaning:

1. that which has been pledged or promised with an oath

Exodus 22:11 (Amplified Bible)

22:11 Then an oath before the Lord shall be required between the two that the man has not taken his neighbor’s property; and the owner of it shall accept his word and not require him to make good the loss.

2 Samuel 21:2 (Amplified Bible)

21:2 So the king called the Gibeonites—now the Gibeonites were not Israelites but of the remnant of the Amorites. The Israelites had sworn to spare them, but Saul in his zeal for the people of Israel and Judah had sought to slay the Gibeonites—

Ezekiel 17:16-20 (Amplified Bible)

17:16 As I live, says the Lord God, surely in the place where the king [Nebuchadnezzar] dwells who made [Zedekiah as vassal] king, whose oath [Zedekiah] despised and whose covenant he broke, even with him in the midst of Babylon shall [Zedekiah] die.

17:17 Neither shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company help him in the war when the [Babylonians] cast up mounds and build forts to destroy many lives.

17:18 For [Zedekiah] despised the oath and broke the covenant and behold, he had given his hand, and yet has done all these things; he shall not escape.

17:19 Therefore thus says the Lord God: As I live, surely My oath [made for Me by Nebuchadnezzar] that [Zedekiah] has despised and My covenant with him that he has broken, I will even bring down on his own head.

17:20 And I will spread My net over him, and he shall be taken in My snare; and I will bring him to Babylon and will enter into judgment and punishment with him there for his trespass and treason that he has committed against Me.

IX. CONCLUSION:

I come to GOD to end all arguments.
