What's the difference between swear and promise?

Question

Answer

Swear in this context is also a slang reference which refers to a "swearing in", which is to take an oath.  
In this regard "swear" is very similar to "promise".  
Examples:
"I swear I will be back before supper."  is the same as
"I promise to be back before supper."

Just be sure not to say "swear at".  This generally means you are going to use bad words when speaking to someone.

Answer

swear is something related to religion that you must do
sometimes used in court to confirm that you really see something
 but promise is word you give to someone and you should do it if you want to keep your personality for him
