earlier in this thread, in response to an outrageous claim made against me, in defending myself, i prefaced my response with
"with God as my witness"
The Lord said to swear not by Heaven, for it is God's Throne, nor by the Earth, for it is His footstool,
nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King, nor by my own head, for i have not power to make a single hair thereof white, or black instead
..but let my "Yes" be "Yes", and my "No" be "No" : anything more than this comes from the wicked one.
how much more grievous of an error, then, to swear by The King Himself..
i repent
