What will the new Oath be if the Bible gets removed from the court system?

The affirmation goes "I do solemnly affirm that the testimony I shall give in the cause now in hearing will be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, this I do under the pains and penalties of perjury."

The Bible says that for a time God winked at the silliness of mankind until they got out of hand with brutality and so on..., MEANING he didn't wink as in approval, he pretty much just let man do his own thing.\n\nI cant recall where the scripture is other than the New Testament and I assume it was the Apostle Paul.\n\nHOWEVER If your read the Genesis you'll find there was an understanding that there were certain things considered sinful. This suggest it was passed down from father to son and family to family by word of mouth.\n\nThe WRITTEN LAW.., came as a hard copy (so to speak) something more tangible. Men can argue over what's legal and illegal all they want UNTIL there is a written code for all to see.., hence God passed to Moses the Law which gaged sin without a doubt and the fines and penalties and remedies for violating these laws. Violation of those laws is a sin.\n\nPlease leave $5 in the bucket on your way out. Daddy needs a new pair of shoes.

Wow thanks for the link, I actually think they are making a really good point!\n\nI guess when the Roman Catholic church stops making up their own rules, then it will stop.  The Bible is the one and only truth.  it is the infallible word of God, can't be changed, can't be destroyed!\n\nGod Loves YOU\nHeather :)

I am reminded of the old Nazareth song.\n\nLove Hurts....\n\nTo answer your questons, yes our society has changed the laws to "fit" their emotions.  \n\nHere's a way to look at it from a church point of view.\nDivorce is sin in God's eyes, when you sin can God forgive you?  Saul of Tarsus wrote most of the New Testament.  The Blood line of Jesus consists of\n\n1. Murderer (David)\n2  Harlot  (Rahab)\n3. Exibitionist (Bathsheba)\n\nYou see where this goes?  God takes the bad and makes it good.  And I'm not even a super religious person!\n\nYes love can conquer all, if you and your partner will allow it to.

Nothing.  In America there is seperation of church and state as long as it is presumed that christianity will always be included.

Actually the laws that were done away with are the "laws contained in ordinances".\nSite:\nhttp://community.webshots.com/photo/80628344/2012353330047993148Lqpai\n\nMany people confuse these with the Seventh Day Sabbath and Sabbath Feast Days.\n\n\nThe Laws Contained in Ordinances = Eph.2:15 & Col.2:15\n**It seems that most believe these two texts are saying that the Sabbath and/or Sabbath Feasts are done away with. Let me ask you a question: who wrote these books; wasn't it Paul? Paul kept the Sabbath (Acts 17:2) & Sabbath Feasts (Rom.5:11) like Jesus; then these texts must not be talking about that, when the Bible says to follow Jesus (Col.2:6) and the Apostles (Eph.2:20). If you believe the Bible is inspired (2Tim.3:16) & is the truth (John 17:17); continue on!\n**If everyone read the Bible clearly on these matters like Jesus did; then they're wouldn't be false interpetations! The Bible says in Colossians 2:16-17 "Let no man therefore judge you....which are a shadow of things to come" inwhich Jesus showed openly.\nIt explains some of these ordinances in Colossians 2:20-22 "Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, (Touch not; taste not; handle not; Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?"\nNow Hebrews 9:9-13 explains it more! \nSee: Heb.9:10 "Which stood only in meats and drinks, and diverse washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation."\nThe other part to this about "judging on the Sabbath,...etc." are in: \nMark 2:23-28; 7:2-23; Luke 13:10-16; 14:1-3 & John 5:8-10; 7:23-24.\nNotice in every matter; the Pharisees thought it was wrong to eat with unwashed hands, to heal on the Sabbath, helping out people/animals on the Sabbath as other things; but Jesus always came back with Bible answers to them!\nSo what is actually done away with is "the judging of these days" and the animal sacrifices!

I studied Islam for a while and i know exactly where you are going with this. There will be curses for those who are not part of the covenant. For God's chosen people the heavens will open. God's chosen people have been oppressed for centuries and continue to be oppressed today by Satin. Those who have an ear let them hear.

No, the concept of the phrase is recognized as negative and that is all it does.\n\nThe second question will be answered by the trial court - once it returns there.\n\nThis is not a separation of church and state since the document was distributed to non-members of the church.  \n\nOn a sidenote, the Supreme Court of Iowa said it could go forward, it didn't however decided the case.  Now the US Supreme Court must determine if it wants to hear the case.  If they disagree with the Iowa court, then it returns for trial.  If they disagree, then the case will be dropped since there is no legal standing.\n\nThe point is that a ruling hasn't been made on the merits of the original case - this is just the finer points of the law being argued at this point.  In general, you can't just go out and smear somebody in writing without justification.  And that issue is for the trial court to decide eventually.

I think very soon. Jesus will rule 1000 years. I believe this will be a glorious time. Since the Devil will be locked up, there shouldn't be crime.

The phrase, "so help you God," has been removed from most US courts a long time ago.  Also, you don't have to "swear" either, you can "affirm."\n\nLawrence\nhttp://www.truebiblesermons.com

If it is true what Christians teach that God's Law was abolished by the Christian Christ, then the "piper" would have to be Death and the debt would be one's life.

Probably neither. Obviously the law would be in violation of the first amendment, and thus the court would have to analyize the law using strict scrutiny.

Of course it will. God is not going to punish a "non-accountable" child for the sins of its parents.\n\n**********************\nA "bastard" in the Old Testament means a child born of an Israelite father and a heathen [non-Israelite] mother.\n\n God had commanded the Israelites not to intermarry with the nations around them, but they did, and God called their offspring bastards. Many generations had to pass before his progeny could be allowed into the congregation of the Lord, another name for the nation of Israel.

The Old Testament is the Old Covenant of life under the Law. When Christ came, He established justification through grace, not the law--hence the New Covenant.\n\n"In that He says, “A new covenant,”  He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away." Hebrews 8:13
