This finds strong parallels in the Torah. The Torah consistently upholds the principles of truthfulness, integrity, and the avoidance of deceitful or unnecessary oaths. For example, in Leviticus\u00a019:11\u201312, Israel is commanded, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>&#8220;You shall not steal; neither deal falsely, neither lie to one another. And you shall not swear by my name falsely, profaning the name of your God: I am the LORD.&#8221;<\/em><\/span> This passage highlights the importance of honesty in dealings with others and the serious nature of swearing by God\u2019s name. It aligns closely with the teaching in Matthew and James, which discourages making oaths lightly and instead calls for a simple affirmation or denial rooted in truth. Deuteronomy\u00a023:21-23 addresses the making of vows. The text warns that if a person makes a vow to the LORD, they must fulfill it promptly, as failing to do so would result in sin. This emphasizes the weight and seriousness of one\u2019s words and promises. In Numbers 30:2, the Torah reinforces the high value placed on integrity and the fulfillment of one\u2019s words, underscoring the need for clarity and sincerity in speech. These parallels reveal the Torah\u2019s consistent emphasis on truthfulness, sincerity, and a reverence for the power of words, which aligns deeply with Yeshua\u2019s teaching about letting one&#8217;s yes mean yes and no mean no. This is how the NT teaches Torah, the Torah has not passed away!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bits of Torah Truths &#8211; Torah Concept in the NT: Let Conversation be Yes or No &#8211; Episode 482\u00a0 #torah\u00a0#torahwisdom\u00a0#torahtruth\u00a0#torahforlife\u00a0#torah4you\u00a0#torahtruth\u00a0 Matthew\u00a05:37\u00a05:37\u00a0\u201cBut let your statement be, \u2018Yes, yes\u2019 or \u2018No, no\u2019; anything beyond these is of evil.
