SOTM Matthew 5:33 Jesus Forbids Oaths (Jephthah)

Sermon On The Mount Series Matthew 5:33-37 Jesus teaches against making oaths, especially potentially life-or-death scenarios!  What's the context?  Marriage!  There is no biblical command to take an oath 'to death', but some men kill their wife, and wrongly use the Bible to do so!   Great opportunity to look at the Jephthah Story (Judges 11). Jephthah made a rash vow to God: Sacrifice the first thing that comes out of his house if victorious in battle - but then his only daughter emerged, creating a real cunnundrum!  Do you believe Jephthah actually killed his daughter?  Does God approve of you vowing to kill your daughter? Of course not! Instead of making stupid oaths, let your "yes" be yes and "no" be no.
