November 23, 2024Strength to Strength welcomed Zack Johnson to discuss truth-telling and swearing of oaths.Can the imitation of Christ truly involve oath-taking? This talk traces the evolution of oath-taking from the Old Covenant through the teachings of Jesus and James, the nuances in Paul’s writings, and the convictions of early Christians like Maximilian. It explores why James highlighted Jesus’ reversal of Mosaic teachings on oaths as essential for believers, demonstrating how early disciples were willing to die for this principle. Concluding with a call for contemporary Christians to embody integrity and consistent truthfulness, it challenges followers of Christ to reject society’s reliance on oaths as both a substitute for genuine honesty and faithfulness and as a means of pledging loyalty to anything other than Christ the King.An interactive question-and-answer period follows.https://strengthtostrength.org/sacred-roots-why-above-all-matters/
