It means that my every single word will be judged. Today in our country, it's april fools day. So a friend of mine told me to promise not to say whatever she said to me. So i promised but later i found out that she was just lying to me. Then i tried to lie to my other friend by saying whatever she said. But i made a promise not to tell but it was a lie and i was just having fun and i even asked her if i can use this to fool others. She said yes. So did i just commit a sin? I know i am being…

Matthew 12:36 But I say to you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.<br />
Matthew 12:37 For by your words you shall be justified, and by your words you shall be condemned.

<p>Of course. Hope you're having a great day & am very blessed to have you on the site. I believe that if you make a promise just in passing for example: I may walk in my kid's room & say "I promise, I'm painting this room" but I never do, I don't believe that's a sin though I could be wrong. I don't believe it's held against me but maybe I shouldn't say that either. I believe Jesus was also clearing up the Mosaic Laws as well. For instance, He said You heard it said Thou shall not…</p>

<p>Carla quoted Matthew verse 37. In verses 33-36 Jesus said, "<span class="words-of-christ">“Again</span> <span class="words-of-christ">you have heard that it was said to those of old,</span> <span class="words-of-christ">‘You shall not swear falsely, but</span> <span class="words-of-christ">shall perform to the Lord what you have sworn.’</span><span> </span><span class="words-of-christ">But I (Christ) say to you,</span> <span class="words-of-christ">Do not take an oath at all, either by…</span></p>

I think if you use the words 'I promise' just off-handedly on something silly or just caught up in emotions & say it, that's not the same as taking a serious vow like it's speaking of here. If He considered it a sin every time I said 'I promised' before the dumbest comments, I'd stay in a state of sin. </span></p> Thank you Sir.tag:www.allaboutgod.net,2018-03-12:1383940:Comment:17499852018-03-12T17:04:57.089ZAnanyahttp://www.allaboutgod.net/profile/Ananya

Deuteronomy 23:21 If you make a vow to the LORD your God, do not be slow to pay it, for the LORD your God will certainly demand it of you and you will be guilty of sin.<br />
Deuteronomy 23:22 But if you refrain from making a vow, you will not be guilty.<br />
Deuteronomy 23:23 Whatever your lips utter you must be sure to do, because you made your vow freely to the LORD your God with your own mouth.<br />

Ecclesiastes 5:2 Do not be quick with your mouth, do not be hasty in your heart to utter anything before God. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few.<br />
Ecclesiastes 5:4 When you make a vow to God, do not delay to fulfill it. He has no pleasure in fools; fulfill your vow.<br />
Ecclesiastes 5:5 It is better not to make a vow than to make one and not fulfill it.<br />
Ecclesiastes 5:6 Do not let your mouth lead you into sin. And do not protest to the temple messenger, "My vow was a mistake." Why should God be angry at what you say and destroy the work of your hands? I love You my Lord.

<p>Making a promise in itself is not sinful. But, if a promise is made and not fulfilled, then it is sin.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Matthew 5:37 teaches us to 'let our yes be 'yes', and our no be 'no'. If you make a promise, be sure to keep it. Be thoughtful when you make a promise. Make sure you have the power to keep it.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Blessings, Carla</p>
