I know we're supposed to pay our vows to God but if circumstances change, for example like your personal safety is at risk, etc...how can you tell if God removes you from the vow? Thanks for your time! Katrina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right In Jesus own words: 33Again, you have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill your vows to the Lord.’ 34But I tell you not to swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne; 35or by the earth, for it is His footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. 36Nor should you swear by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black. 37Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ Anything more comes from the evil one.

But then, instead of thinking that the latter vow canceled out the former one, I began to feel that I was obligated to keep the latter vow. But circumstances wouldn't allow that except with very great consequences for my life. So, was the former vow merely canceled out by the later one? Or, am I obligated to the latter vow? Or, am I simply screwed because I have an obligation to be obedient to both vows and cannot be obedient to both since they contradict each other? Or, in other words, am I obligated to obey both the former vow and the latter one? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out Leviticus 5:4-6. People were allowed to basically present an offering and be free from it. Like Jesus said it's better not to do it at all, but for those who have made a vow anyway there's a clear precedent for being released from it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We try not to do it again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numbers 30:13 13Her husband may confirm or nullify any vow or any sworn pledge to deny herself. Their is A way for women to nullify A vow. Also if you complete vow G-d lets you off it that too.
