There is much-a-do about nothing going on! As Political Leaders take the oath of office they are not putting their hands on a Bible. I don’t understand why people are upset by this.
MATTHEW 5:33-37 THE VOICE
You know that God expects us to abide by the oaths we swear and the promises we make. But I tell you this: do not ever swear an oath. What is an oath? You cannot say, “I swear by heaven”—for heaven is not yours to swear by; it is God’s throne. And you cannot say, “I swear by this good earth,” for the earth is not yours to swear by; it is God’s footstool. And you cannot say, “I swear by the holy city Jerusalem,” for it is not yours to swear by; it is the city of God, the capital of the King of kings. You cannot even say that you swear by your own head, for God has dominion over your hands, your lips, your head. It is He who determines if your hair be straight or curly, white or black; it is He who rules over even this small scrap of creation. You need not swear an oath—any impulse to do so is of evil. Simply let your “yes” be “yes,” and let your “no” be “no.”
Let your “yay” be “yes” and “nay” be “no”; you are either going to do what you are supposed to do or not. Politically leaders have a reputation of saying they are going to do one thing and do another weather they swear on a Bible or not!
Why would a person be content if a Muslim swears on the Quran? Why is it a problem if an atheist swears on a law book? That does not make sense to me! If you voted for a non-believer does it make you feel better to know they swore on the Bible?
