No, speak boldly YEA or NAY.\n\nPut on the whole gospel armour of God. Always have your shield of faith Jesus Christ. Always wield the sword which is the Word of God.

I never question the word of God. he said it, and i believe it. I may not understand everything in there, but that is when i pray and ask God to reveal it to me. Knock, and it shall be opened to you. Seek, and you will find it.  He has showed me many things. he can do the same for everybody.

Lend not to thy own understanding but in all thou ways acknowledge God and He will direct your path.\n\nI use this scripture in my prayers by asking God to help me to do his will; to do things and treat people as he wants me to do. For if I lend to my own understanding in a whole lot of things I would and do fail. But it I do it God's way I will succeed every time.

No you cannot refuse.  But you are not asked to swear on a Bible.  You are asked if you solemnly avow that you will tell the truth and are expected to do so or face possible charges of perjury.

Only you can answer that question, dig deep. Do not be afraid to face the truth about yourself and your shortcomings, only then can you or will you humble yourself enough to hear HIS whispered answer to your prayer. My Granny taught me a long time ago something that may help.\n\nIn life, the hard things are usually the right things to do. When listening for God, quiet yourself, be patient, and be willing to  hear. The enemy is the one who persistently pushes. HIS voice is gentle. Like a soft summer breeze. A whisper of truth that may be hard to accept.

Yes, TRUTH (what GOD Thinks, Says and Creates) is EVERY WHERE and at ALL Levels of Human Understanding.\nAnd The Holy Spirit is trying to Teach us too.  All of the Time.

I think praying on it helps.\n\nmy father taught me this a young child: \n\nTelling the truth is not always telling everything that is in your head.\n\nTry this when you feel like telling the truth it may help. Also, I find if I might be talking too much I think would I want to write this down and if I say no to myself then I do not tell the story or whatever if I say yes then I tell it.\n\nGood Luck and I would be your friend.

God is true, God in incapable of lying it states this in the Bible, once you are saved through Jesus Christ and accept him in your life, ask forgiveness for your sins, and sincerely mean it , The holy spirit enters you, and God is a part of your life.

Truth is within. You can only get it from that source.

Yes, especialy if you think of the while lies prayer (or while waiting in line) before you see the priest.  In this time your working with the Holy Spirit to make a good confession.\n\nShould this "white lie" become a pattern, you and the priest can find ways to keep you from making "White lie's"...hence no lying.\n\nSay, that you told a friend, "You look great", but they didn't.  You've gone to confession, and made your act of contrition (to try and avoid this sin), but you just forgot to mention this white lie...well you're still forgiven.\n\nWhite lie's are mostly harmless.  However, it is not God's perfect plan, and you are slightly getting off the path he wants you on. When you get used to commiting "White lie's" over and over, then real lying gets easier.  When real lying gets easier, then other greater sins become easier.  When you acknologe to youself and to God that these "White Lies" are keeping you from God, is when true healing begins.\n\nMercy...it endures forever!

In my experience, yes, they tell the truth.  However they do not alway tell the whole truth.  And sometimes they don't know what is the truth in spite of their best intentions.  They are human as are we all.  They do the best they can.

There is an alternative oath in which the witness affirms, not swears, that his or her testimony will be truthful.  Obviously the 'so help me God' terminology is left off.

Someone asked this yesterday.  I'll tell you what I told them.\n\nIf I am wrong about being an atheist, and I stand before god, I will hold my head up. I'll say "I looked for you harder than anybody I know. I read the bible in its original languages. I prayed for hours and hours. If you know all, you know how sincerely I looked. If you can chuck me into hell, knowing that, then I go with a clear conscience. Because I wouldn't want to share eternity with a being who could torment ANYone for eternity. Let alone someone who looked for him so hard."\n\nI would rather go to hell with a clear conscience and a pure heart than go to heaven because I chose out of fear.

I think it depends upon your motives and purpose for lying. To lie to get out of personal responsibility or for unjust gain, then it is sin. If it is to save lives as Christians did when hiding Jews during Nazi occupation or when the midwives went against the Pharoah in killing the firstborn males of the Hebrews, then God will commend your actions.
