God wants His people to live by the Bible, not swear by it.
“But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God’s throne: But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil” (Matthew 5:34,37).
So why should Christians be in an uproar about this next matter?
Minnesota lawmaker takes hits over Quran
| Conservative bloggers were outraged when former Detroiter Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress, announced he would use the Quran for his swearing-in ceremony photo, instead of the Bible. |
It’s OK.
(And when a Christian in Turkey is forced to swear by the Koran, well . . . .)
Ok ok so I get your point but really…This IS America..and America was not founded on the Quranor th eLoran or the Book of Morman or any other such book. Thie Bible IS Truth..what better foundation to affirm one’s oath of service. When in America…DO as Americans do… I know you better than to believe you have bought into multiculturalism…
