Oaths, especially made to God, are serious things.
Oath:
Will you give yourself over wholly to the service of God and his angels?
Yeah. Exactly.
Say it.
I give myself over wholly, to serve God and you guys.
Do you swear to follow His will and His word as swiftly and obediently as you did your own father's?
I swear.
Question:

Just curious what y'all think. Discuss! \o/
