03/25/19 FUTILITY OF AN OATH

"Christian" oath is redundant.
Unbeliever's oath on Bible is absurd.
Muslim oath on Koran is deceptive.

Jesus taught that Christians should not take an oath. He said that for us to take an an oath indicates a double standard of honesty. We don't swear by heaven or earth or God or anything sacred to establish our honesty. Our word is our bond.

When an unsaved person swears by the Bible, it is absurd, because the fact that they don't live by the Bible indicates that the Bible is not sacred to them and they do not see themselves as being answerable or accountable before the God of the Bible.

Islam allows Muslims to lie, when it is for the good of Islam, or the god of Islam. This principle is called taqiyya.
Since the Holy Bible is not holy to the Muslim and since Islam considers to the Holy Bible to be corrupted and erroneous, it is not something they would recognize while making an oath.
Instead, the Muslim will swear on a Koran. But a Muslim will never make a vow of commitment to anything that does not submit to the Koran, therefore their oath on a Koran is not binding.
Also, the verbal commitment or declaration of a Muslim is not binding unless it is given in the Arabic language.
