Should you make a vow to God and not be able to uphold it?

Answer 1

You should not make any vows and you should not divorce according to Jesus Christ Matthew 5:33 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths: 34But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: 35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. 36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. 37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.(Matthew 5:33-37) This means that If you believe in Jesus, you should not make an vows, but let your yes be yes and your no be no, anything supported by a vow tells that there is something wrong. Just prove your oath/promise/vow by actions, speak with actions. Most people listens to mortal not to true word read The Bible yourself and you see the truth and it is that truth that shall set you free as he said in John 8:31-32, "31Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. And the Spirit of Jesus says in Revelation come out of her my people, Revelation 18:4 meaning do not do as the people of this world do, saints have to be different from the world. They used precious and costly rings, God does not look into all that, what he just want is you to stay in your marriage till the end. Revelation 18 also said that when the ungodly things and ungodly people are out of you or destroyed (the fall of Babylon) this shall be the situation among you saints for verse "22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived." These are the things found in weddings invented by man to make money and I believe the mark of the beast is the wedding ring according to this verse: "..and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years." Rev. 20:4 The Bible is against wedding rings anyway according to this verse:1 Timothy 2:9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;10 But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works." this means don't speak out your vows by costly gold/peals/arrays but by good works of staying in your marriage. 1 Peter also support this, "3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price." No one should get into divorce: Mark 10:4 And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away. 5 And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. 6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. 9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.10 And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter.11 And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery. ) do not harden your hearts, forgive and the Father in heaven will forgive all your sins as it is said,"forgive our sins as we forgive those who sins against us" To avoid divorce: 1Peter 3:1 Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; 5For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands: So who is good in the eyes of God: The one who gets into vows and gets an expensive wedding ring and falls into divorce And the one who get into marriage with no vows, no wedding ring and stayed in the mariage in better or worse till death parted them.
