Not sure but I think even the "Jefferson" bible may contain these words of Jesus. I don't know whether quoting Scripture makes me a fundamentalist or not but I seem to remember from our past interactions that the gospels are the only parts of the Word you choose to believe are genuine. I'm sure you'll correct me if I'm wrong.
33 "Again, you have heard that the ancients were told, 'YOU SHALL NOT MAKE FALSE VOWS, BUT SHALL FULFILL YOUR VOWS TO THE LORD.' 34 But I say to you, make no oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, 35 or by the earth, for it is the footstool of His feet, or by Jerusalem, for it is THE CITY OF THE GREAT KING. 36 Nor shall you make an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. 37 But let your statement be, 'Yes, yes' or 'No, no'; anything beyond these is of evil. (Matthew 5:33-37, NASB)
