The Oath by God is Better

Question

Is the phrase (by God, it is better) considered an oath? In the context of 'by God, it would be better if you don't go on Tuesday,' for example?

Answer

I say, and with God's help: this is an oath to affirm the speech, and it should neither be binding nor a sinful one, and God knows best.
