But let your statement be, Yes, yes, or No, no; anything beyond these is of evil. Matthew 5:37 / James 5:12
Do we have to swear on a stack of Bibles that we are telling the truth? Cross your heart, hope to die, stick a needle in your eye? As Christians, we should never have to swear by anything that we are telling the truth. Our word should be our bond. For us, Yes should mean Yes and No, no. Nothing more, nothing less. Our Christian character and our word should be our bond.
