This verse means that we are not to say 'yes' if we mean 'no' and not to say 'no' if we mean 'yes'.
actually that verse is saying not to make vows or to swear
(to something). because this would make your ordinary truth-telling look less truthful. thus our lawbooks have a different affirmation for quakers to use in court (since they're the only ones who actually listen to this verse correctly). read the verse before it. you're taking it out of context.

Re: The Bible authors didn't know they were the Bible authors!
it can only be non-biblical. even paul who proclaims that the bible is god-breathed says to ignore (and not argue about) geneologies because they just cause problems and don't get anyone anywhere. this can only mean that he knew they didn't line up right (ask arach about this one) and that arguing about them would cause needless strife in the church. thus even paul recognized that the bible isn't perfect and wholly historical. but that's okay because IT ISN'T THE POINT. the point is a parable to explain to us about who god is... but then everyone has read that part wrongly too. yeah it may have bits that are historically accurate but the whole thing isn't.

who says he doesn't audibly speak today? you just aren't listening right.
the point is if someone said they heard something from god, you'd think they were crazy and blow them off anyways. it doesn't matter.

yeah... none of it really makes sense. the later ten commandments were just copied from hammurabi. there was a first ten with would have actually set the jews apart.

it doesn't. i think i should have put a blank line in there somewhere.
the 'it doesn't make sense' was to the 'don't kill unless i say so' i replied to.
