Sermon on the Mount

"Evolution is better than Revolution. New Thought Library's New Thought Archives encompass a full range of New Thought from Abrahamic to Vedic. New Thought literature reflects the ongoing evolution of human thought. New Thought's unique inclusion of science, art and philosophy presents a dramatic contrast with the magical thinking of decadent religions that promulgate supersticions standing in the way of progress to shared peace and prosperity." ~ Avalon de Rossett

37. But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.

Whoever swears to anything, makes a vow, takes an oath, gives a promise, makes a resolution, or in any way binds himself by his word places himself under the Mosaic Law, and is liable to incur penalty through breaking the law he has made for himself.

Swearing, promising, and vowing arise from two common errors: first, belief in the future; second, distrust and lack of faith. There is only the eternal "now" in which we should live, and all that we affirm should be of the present. The Wise One says, "It is," and it is so; "It is not," and of a surety it is not: whatever is more than plain and direct affirmation or denial comes from belief in evil.

He who trusts his fellow beings needs no promises or vows. He who trusts the divine Spirit within himself knows his word to be as good as gold, and that it needs no indorsement
