The Third Commandment V

Your commandments are exceedingly broad...

...American states, the name of God is removed from oaths of office and from the swearing in of witnesses. This means that, when a man is sworn into office, he is not bound by God to fulfil the constitutional requirements of the office or the law; the man solemnly swears by himself; if it is agreeable to him to alter the law, if he regards his own ideas as superior, then he can move to circumvent the law. The major changes in the American consitiution have occurred over a period of time when no fundamental changes have been made in the U.S. Constitution. The reason is that the letter and the spirit of the law now have very little meaning as against the political wills of men and parties.

If a witness is asked to swear to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth without any reference to god, truth then can be and is commonly redefined in terms of himself. The oath in God’s name is “legal recongnition of God” as the source of all things and the only true ground of all being. It establishes the state under god and under his law. The removal of God from oaths, ad the light and dishonest us of oaths, is a declaration of independence from Him, and it is warfare against God in the name of the new gods, apostate man and his totalitarian state.

The modern American oath, which omits all reference to God, is set in the context of a pragmatic philosophy, a faith taught in the schools and upheld by the state and federal governments. Truth in terms of pragmatism is what works.
