    third commandment, “‭‭‬You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.”

    I thought it was because people swear to God in court and witness testimony was all that civilization has in terms of evidence.

      We found a workaround for that. Just swear on the Bible instead of in God’s name.

      Ticket closed.
