All this time thinking about whether or not you could, you never stopped to think about whether or not you should.

Is 'Jesus' an example of an error in the bible? Even if it was an translation error it's still not an error in the sense you seem to be thinking. The doctrine of infallibility and inerrancy doesn't apply to modern versions, it refers to the original manuscripts. Copyist errors are understood and accepted. From a Fundamentalist standpoint, what does the phrase "Inspired, infallible, inerrant Word of God" mean? |

Can God Change his mind? @Flimzy Good point. That was badly worded. In the passage you cite, however, God didn't change His mind and send Aaron instead of Moses, He tells Moses to take Aaron to speak for Moses, who in turn speaks for God. There's also no reason to assume God didn't know Moses would come up with excuses ahead of time. That would deny God's omniscience. It's reasonable to assume that God's plan was to send them both all along. He knew what Moses' objections would be before He laid the foundations of the earth, much less before Moses objected. He let Moses object, and steered Moses to His original plan. |

Can God Change his mind? Also, this is very close to being a duplicate of christianity.stackexchange.com/questions/5220/does-god-change I think it's just different enough to stand on its own, but yo should check out the answers there as well. |

Can God Change his mind? Welcome to the site. When you get a chance, you should read the FAQ and About pages, and meta.christianity.stackexchange.com/questions/1379/… As phrased, this is what's referred to as a "Truth" question, and may wind up getting closed. Various branches within Christianity tend to have different answers for questions, and we usually try to avoid "what is true" and focus on "what does denomination X teach". Accordingly, I tried to answer in a way that addresses your question from several perspectives. |

Does swearing on the Bible have any spiritual significance? I think you'll find that today, this is something best answered on an individual level. For some, it would have significance, for others it wouldn't. I don't think there is an official Church stance on it from any major denominations. It more likely stemmed from a time when people took God and the Bible more seriously, and there was some fear associated with breaking an oath sworn on a Bible. Atheists would call it superstition, those who would tremble at the thought of a God angered by a false oath using His word might think there's more significance. And there are all those in between. |
