Matthew
Chapter 5
33
“You have also heard that our ancestors were told, ‘You must not break your vows; you must carry out the vows you make to the L
34
But I say, do not make any vows! Do not say, ‘By heaven!’ because heaven is God’s throne.
35
And do not say, ‘By the earth!’ because the earth is his footstool. And do not say, ‘By Jerusalem!’ for Jerusalem is the city of the great King.
36
Do not even say, ‘By my head!’ for you can’t turn one hair white or black.
37
Just say a simple, ‘Yes, I will,’ or ‘No, I won’t.’ Anything beyond this is from the evil one.

Swearing
Saying, "On God or On my Mama" is actual swearing and God commands us not to swear. It's a sin to Him. He says that we should let our yes be yes and our no mean no. In other words, don't make promises and swear by anything. If you say you're going to do something...DO IT!!!
