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.
I am searching for lessons on the synoptic gospels. I hope to answer the following questions:
1. Why are three so similar and John is not?
2. What specific stories are told in Matthew, Luke and Mark and how are they similar and how are they different?
3. Why are Matthew, Mark and Luke referred to as the synoptic gospels?
Can you provide some resources to answer my questions?

After the tribulation, will those who survived enter the kingdom in their human bodies? During the kingdom will there be sin on earth?
In Matthew 5-7, is Jesus introducing the Jews to the future kingdom of heaven on earth? And if that's the case, are the acts indicated in Matthew 5:29,30 the result of Matthew 5:28 and something believer's must physically carry out while in the future kingdom in order to enter into his final resting place?
Which books in the Bible are called "The Law"? Which are called "The Prophets"?
