Lawful Oaths and Vows (Part 3)
The 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith, Chapter 23, Paragraph 3, addresses the issue of lawful oaths and vows. It reflects the Reformed Baptist view on how oaths should be taken only in specific contexts and with great care. Here is the text of Chapter 23, Paragraph 3: "Whosoever taketh an oath warranted by the Word of God, ought duly to consider the weightiness of so solemn an act, and therein to avouch nothing but what he knoweth to be truth; for that by rash, false, and vain oaths, the Lord is provoked, and for them this land mourns. An oath is to be taken in the plain and common sense of the words, without equivocation or mental reservation." This paragraph emphasizes that: Oaths should only be taken when they are warranted by the Word of God. The seriousness of an oath should be recognized. Only truth should be declared when taking an oath. False, rash, or frivolous oaths provoke God's anger and bring mourning to the land. Oaths should be taken with clear language, without any hidden or deceptive meanings. This reflects a cautious and reverent approach to oaths, stressing truthfulness and the importance of honoring commitments made before God.
