Some of you may claim you didn’t realize these seeming benign terms were “oaths.” Fair enough but Now you Know
[1 Thes. 5:22- Abstain from every appearance of evil. ].

Your author has been guilty of using some of them when he was younger, and even today catches himself using variations of them he heard as a child
growing up in “Appalachia.” Just the Other Day he heard himself say “I declare” which is a form of “I Swear” Mat 5:34-36  But I say to you,
Do not swear at all! Not by Heaven, because it is God's throne; not by the earth, for it is the footstool of His feet; not by Jerusalem,
because it is the city of the great King; nor shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black.
James 5:12  But before all things, my brothers, do not swear; neither by the heaven nor by the earth, nor any other oath. But let your yes be yes,
and your no, no, lest you fall into condemnation. He Still uses old terms like “I reckon” for I Suppose” or “over yonder” for “over there,
” but “I declare,” “I swan” or “I hope my die” are not acceptable. [Some of you are lost on these terms, but they are still common in the hills.]
