Please distinguish the terms "vow", "oath", "swear" and "pledge." Some of these are interchangeable and some are referred to in the bible as totally different from each other. I'm specifically interested in what Jesus meant in Matthew 5:33-37 and how that applies to nowadays "pledging" for a building fund or other church projects.
What is the genealogy of Jesus?
What does having the favor of God mean?
How does one go about fasting, and what are the different types of fasting?
Why does 2 Samuel 12:8 say that God gave wives (plural) to David if it was intended for man to have only one wife?
