Isaiah 48:1,2 "Listen to this, O house of Jacob, you who
are called by the name of Israel and come from the line of Judah, you who

Comment
There are those who are called Christians or who call themselves "Christian",
but it's not true. There are those who take oaths in the name of the Lord.
But Jesus said, "I tell you, Do not swear at all:
either by heaven, for it is God’s throne; or by the earth, for it is his
footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King.
And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white
or black. Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No’; anything
beyond this comes from the evil one." Matt 5:34-37 There
are those who pray to God or invoke his name, but God is not impressed
if it's not done in truth and righteousness. God is not impressed with
public religiousity.
