Oath, Curse, Swear Part 2

CURSE

There are two definitions for the word CURSE:
Noun – a solemn utterance intended to invoke a supernatural power to inflict harm or punishment on someone or something. And – an offensive word or phrase used to express anger or annoyance.
Verb – invoke or use a curse against. And – utter offensive words in anger or annoyance.

Matthew 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
Matthew 15:4, Mark 7:10 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
Matthew 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
Matthew 26:74, Mark 14:71 Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.
Mark 11:21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
Luke 6:28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
John 7:49 But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.
Acts 23:12 And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.
Acts 23:14 And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul.
Romans 12:14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
Galatians 3:10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
Galatians 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
James 3:9 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
2 Peter 2:14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
Revelation 22:3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
In the text above it would appear to CURSE something was to mean harm to it.

As a believer, we should be very careful when we CURSE something or someone.

SWEAR

-an offensive word, used especially as an expression of anger.

Matthew 5:34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God’s throne:
Matthew 5:36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
Matthew 23:16 Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!
Matthew 23:18 And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.
Matthew 23:20-22 Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon. And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein. And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
Matthew 26:74, Mark 14:71 Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.
Hebrews 6:13 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,
Hebrews 6:16 For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.
James 5:12 But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.

By the use of SWEAR in the above texts, it would appear that to swear by something, was a stronger commitment than just to take an oath.

Colossians 3:8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

But Now… Part 2

Paul writes to the Believers in the Galatian Church not to return to the law:
Galatians 4:9 But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God,
In his letter to the church in Ephesus he reminded them of our position with the Lord after we are saved:
Ephesians 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
Ephesians 5:8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
Paul wrote to Philippi that even though he was not with them they should continue to serve the Lord:
Philippians 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation …
And to the church in Colossian he reminded them of his teaching about the MYSTRIES that had been revealed to them and also to be aware of what they were before salvation.
Colossians 1:26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:
Colossians 3:8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
When Timothy came to Paul and informed him of how well they were doing he told they how he wanted to come and see them.
1 Thessalonians 3:6 But now when Timotheus came from you unto us, and …
To Philemon he pleaded for a runaway slave as Paul returned him.
Philemon 1:11 Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable…
To the believing Jews who were still caught up in the temple worship and trying to follow the LAW he wrote:
Hebrews 2:8 Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.
Hebrews 8:6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, …
Hebrews 9:26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin …
He reminds the Jews of God’s promises to their fathers, a better land.
Hebrews 11:16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.
Hebrews 12:26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.

BUT NOW as we study and learn the word of God we need to be sharing it with our unsaved friends before its too late.

The Truth

John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

The following studies contain Verses that speak of the TRUTH. Be sure to read them in context.
