If you say it's OK to lie but not OK to lie while taking an oath, how do you reconcile this with Christ's teaching of let your yes be yes and your no be no? |
I would cite Christ saying that my yes needs to be yes and my no needs to be no and not take an oath. I'd then ask them why they want me to violate my conscience and scripture and take an oath when I've already said no.....
