Of course, because Jesus says so. A yes and a no is enough, I don't have to swear.So you'd refuse to swear on the Bible that your statements are true if you were called in a court as a witness.

So Allah means "oath" and "curse"
Making an "oath" is a 'curse'And what do Jews say about the similarity of these two words?
You might get in trouble for that. You did not explain how you would get out of doing so.Matthew 5:33-37
I say to you, do not swear at all, but make sure your statement is, ‘Yes, yes’ or ‘No, no’; anything beyond these is of evil origin.
Do not swear at all, not even in court.
He who swears puts his own soul as a pledge, but if he lies, he loses his life. In the OT, death is the punishment for not swearing truthfully. So it's a matter of life and death, that's why it's convincing.
E for effort! C for compassion! A for attitude! I suggest strongly this is not anything about Islam, but good work nevertheless. It doesn't hurt to come up with ideas and try them out.Jesus has given us a new commandment:
Matthew 5:33-37
I say to you, do not swear at all, but make sure your statement is, ‘Yes, yes’ or ‘No, no’; anything beyond these is of evil origin.
This new commandment is so important that it is even repeated by an apostle:
James 5:12
But above all, my brothers, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath; but your yes is to be yes, and your no, no, so that you do not fall under judgment.
The Hebrew word for "oath" is Alah. The interesting thing is that this hebrew word also means "curse". So Allah means "oath" and "curse". See Strong's Hebrew: 423. אָלָה (alah) -- an oath (biblehub.com)
This word is very similar to the Arabic word Allah. It is also a fact that the followers of Islam swear very often and gladly by saying "Wallah", even their prophets often swore. I wonder if this is just a coincidence? And what do Jews say about the similarity of these two words?
I would refer to freedom of religion. But no matter what would come, I would not swear.You might get in trouble for that. You did not explain how you would get out of doing so.
Good news! There appears to be an out for you:I would refer to freedom of religion. But no matter what would come, I would not swear.

Allah is etymologically linked to the Hebrew word Eloah and both are generic terms for deity.
Loooool. This is the most hilarious evangelical nonsense I have heard in my life.
You see, the word pin means pin in English, but in another language it means "good deed". The word "bin" in English means a vessel you generally throw rubbish in, but in Arabic it means "Son of". Jesus spoke Arabic, he would have said "Alaha" to God. That is similar to Allah to mate! How in the world did you miss that?
So in your most pathetic understanding, was Jesus cursing when he said Alaha? After all, Alaha is more similar to Alah than Allah. Lol. In your logic mate, isn't Jesus cursing? So why can't some normal people curse when your God himself has set that example by repeating the word Alaha all the time? And you should read the Aramaic New Testament and see how many times it uses the word Alaha. So many curses in your own Bible (In your own logic) but you are speaking about some normal human beings. Hypocrisy isn't it?
Well. This is a new nonsense so thanks for adding one to the list of other nonsenses.
See the etymology I gave.Not quite right. You are referring to the word Ilah (elah). Not Allah.
Matthew 5:33-37

Yes, that's what my second post in this thread says lol. We agree.iLah is the arabic word that corresponds with "deity". Allah is a word that means "The Deity"
I understand what you say. Its just not quite right, not that I am saying you were wrong. You are right.
Yes, that's what my second post in this thread says lol. We agree.
Alaha is syro-aramaic, Jesus didn't speak this language. The aramaic word for God is Elah. See Strong's Hebrew: 426. אֱלָהּ (elah) -- God, god (biblehub.com)Loooool. This is the most hilarious evangelical nonsense I have heard in my life.
