OATH AND OBLIGATION
By Marvin L. Stewart
Webster’s 1828 Dictionary
Defines:
OATH, n.
A solemn affirmation or declaration, made with an appeal to God for the truth of what is affirmed. The appeal to God in an oath implies that the person imprecates his vengeance and renounces his favor if the declaration is false, or if the declaration is a promise, the person invokes the vengeance of God if he should fail to fulfill it. A false oath is called perjury.
This article is being written as a result of a plethora of events that has occurred in this Nation since I was called into the ministry in 1996. The ministry that I was called into is unlike the traditional ministry which consist of a Pastor; Minister; Reverend; or Priest as under shepherd and the congregation in attendance. I was called to educate the Body of Christ of their civic responsibilities in this Constitutional Republic regarding the various covenants that are in place in this Nation. Christians have an obligation in seeing that these covenants are fulfilled, I was called to speak unto those in the legislative; judicial; and executive branch of government in this Nation and remind them of their ministerial duties in guaranteeing a Republican Form of Government that is mandated by Article IV, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution which states “The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a Republican form of government and shall protect each of them from invasion”.
Webster’s 1828 dictionary defines a REPUB’LICAN, n.
One who favors or prefers a republican form of government. It is that form of government that I’m teaching about and encouraging Christians to support. It is the form of government that recognizes that God is sovereign authority over this Nation which is representative in all fifty States Constitutions. This is explicitly expressed in the Declaration of Independence, which is the foundation of our U.S. Constitution, which states the following:
When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,–That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to affect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
As I sit here this 4th of July 2005, preparing this article, in addition to celebrating this Nations 229th birthday, reflecting on all that has made this Nation great which are the principles of Christianity. There are various elements in this Nation which are seeking to undermine the foundation of this Nation by divesting this Nation of all vestiges of God, by dividing that insoluble bond of the principles of civil government and the principles of Christianity. Jefferson’s words engraved on the Jefferson Memorial in Washington, D.C., say it well,
“God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed their only sure basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that those liberties are the gift of God?”
As I reflect on all of the immoral legislation that has been forced upon the citizenry of this Nation or attempted to be forced upon them against their will such as Assembly Bill 19 which sought to gender neutralize the California Family Codes 300 et seq. 302, when the People of the State of California voted for Proposition 22 that marriage is the union of a man an woman by 62%. When Mayor Gavin Newsom of San Francisco openly violated the law and the will of the people by issuing bogus marriage licenses, where the Los Angeles City Council openly and against the will of the citizens voted on a resolution supporting the actions of Mayor Newsome and voted against the proposed Federal Marriage Amendment or why various laws are not enforced such as Title 8 § 1373 which reads:
Sec. 1373. Communication between government agencies and the Immigration and Naturalization Service
-STATUTE-
(a) In general Notwithstanding any other provision of Federal, State, or local law, a Federal, State, or local government entity or official may not prohibit, or in any way restrict, any government entity or official from sending to, or receiving from, the Immigration and Naturalization Service information regarding the citizenship or immigration status, lawful or unlawful, of any individual.
(b) Additional authority of government entities Notwithstanding any other provision of Federal, State, or local law, no person or agency may prohibit, or in any way restrict, a Federal, State, or local government entity from doing any of the following with respect to information regarding the immigration status, lawful or unlawful, of any individual:
(1) Sending such information to, or requesting or receiving such information from, the Immigration and Naturalization Service (2) Maintaining such information. (3) Exchanging such information with any other Federal, State, or local government entity.
(c) Obligation to respond to inquiries The Immigration and Naturalization Service shall respond to an inquiry by a Federal, State, or local government agency, seeking to verify or ascertain the citizenship or immigration status of any individual within the jurisdiction of the agency for any purpose authorized by law, by providing the requested verification or status information.
In summation this statue prohibits local and state officials from prohibiting those agencies charged with enforcing local and state laws in conjunction with federal laws from allowing the State of California from becoming a sanctuary state whereby subsidizing illegal aliens at taxpayers expense. It is the aforementioned issues of which I have spoken of that have given rise to me writing this article entitled “Oath.”
On April 23, 2005, as a member of the Minuteman Project[www.minutemanproject.com] I volunteered to stand an eight hour watch from 2pm until 10pm, near the Mexican border at Ft. Huachuca southwest of Sierra Vista, Arizona, a conduit for illegal aliens and drug runners. It was during this tour of duty that certain facts were revealed unto me that is indicative of past events and present events.
Although I supported President G.W. Bush for re-election and the Republican Party, it was evident that there was a lack of resolve to enforce the current immigration laws for fear of being persecuted as racist. And the Democratic Party who continually promotes a socialist agenda; in addition the Democratic Party wants to relinquish the sovereignty of this Nation and usher in the One World Government, which is evident in the Democratic controlled State of California which is known world wide as a sanctuary state. It is also evident in the State of California how elected, appointed officials, teachers and other positions of trust take an oath of office to uphold the U.S. Constitution and the State Constitution of California and violate the very oath that they swore to uphold which states the following:
“The provisions of this Constitution are mandatory and prohibitory, unless by express words they are declared to be otherwise.” Article 1, Section 26, California Constitution. Review of the “Oath of Office,” as promised by law enforcement personnel, legislators, and other elected officials, shows clear direction and guidance to those persons as a condition to accepting their office.
Article 20, Section 3 of the California Constitution reads: “Members of the Legislature, and all public officers and employees, executive, legislative, and judicial, except such inferior officers and employees as may be by law exempted, shall, before they enter upon the duties of their respective offices, take and subscribe the following oath or affirmation:
I, ______, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of California against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of California; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties upon which I am about to enter.”
“And I do further swear (or affirm) that I do not advocate, nor am I a member of any party or organization, political or otherwise, that now advocates the overthrow of the Government of the United States or of the State of California by force or violence or other unlawful means; that within the five years immediately preceding the taking of this oath (or affirmation) I have not been a member of any party or organization, political or otherwise, that advocated the overthrow of the Government of the United States or of the State of California by force or violence or other unlawful means except as follows: (If no affiliations, write in the words “No Exceptions”) and that during such time as I hold the office of (name of office) I will not advocate nor become a member of any party or organization, political or otherwise, that advocates the overthrow of the Government of the United States or of the State of California by force or violence or other unlawful means.”
This Oath seems foreign to our current body of government. Judging from their actions, one could accurately conclude our elected government officials either do not know about the obligation that is attached to taking the oath, or that they choose to ignore it.
So what remedy do the people have against public officials who violate their Oath of Office? Violation of an Oath or promise is certainly perjury, and perjury is punishable by imprisonment.
The Constitution for the United States, article VI, clause 3, reads (emphasis added):
The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.
United States Code Annotated, Const. (1999), art. VI, cl. 3. 28 U.S.C.A. (1999), § 453 reads:
Each justice or judge of the United States shall take the following oath or affirmation before performing the duties of his office: “I,__________ ___________, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me as _____________ under the Constitution and laws of the United States. So help me God.”
The Taking of the Oath is a Religious Act
If I may expound upon the composition of an oath in conjunction with what does the Holy Bible have to say about one taking or giving an Oath. The Bible upholds the sacredness of an oath: “Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell in thy holy hill?…He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not” (Ps. 15: 1, 4). Upon examination of the Holy Bible from the Book of Genesis 14:22 to Hebrew 7:28, oath is spoken of in 123 verses, which lead me to conclude that taking an Oath is a Religious Act. In examining what an Oath is the following is revealed:
OATH – A declaration made according to law, before a competent tribunal or officer, to tell the truth; or it is the act of one who, when lawfully required to tell the truth, takes God to witness that what he says is true. It is a religious act by which the party invokes God not only to witness the truth and sincerity of his promise but also to avenge his imposture or violated faith, or in other words to punish his perjury if he shall be guilty of it. It is proper to distinguish two things in oaths;
1. The invocation by which the God of truth, who knows all things, is taken to witness.
2. The imprecation by which he is asked as a just and all-powerful being, to punish perjury. In the Holy Bible there are 123 verses that reference oath below are some of those verses for review:
Genesis 14:22
But Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I have raised my hand to the LORD, God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth, and have taken an oath.
Ecclesiastes 8:2
[Obey the King] Obey the king’s command, I say, because you took an oath before God.
Isaiah 65:16
Whoever invokes a blessing in the land will do so by the God of truth; he who takes an oath in the land will swear by the God of truth. For the past troubles will be forgotten and hidden from my eyes.
Ezekiel 16:59
‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will deal with you as you deserve, because you have despised my oath by breaking the covenant.
Matthew 5:33
[Oaths] “Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath, but keep the oaths you have made to the Lord.’
Hebrews 7:22
Because of this oath, Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.
The man who is known to all Americans as “first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen,” gave us much sound advice on how to keep our independence and freedom. George Washington’s advice is part of our American heritage that should be known to all our citizens.
When George Washington took the oath as first President of the United States on April 30, 1789, he added this four-word prayer of his own: “So help me God.” These words are still used in official oaths by Americans talking public office, in courts of justice, and in other legal proceedings. Washington’s words show that he was a man who believed in asking God’s help in every part of our private and public lives. During the terrible times of the Revolutionary War, Washington repeatedly counseled his troops to put their faith and trust in God. Here is one of his messages:
“The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, freeman or slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own …. The fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on the courage and conduct of this army…. Let us therefore rely on the goodness of the cause and the aid of the Supreme Being, in whose hands victory is, to animate and encourage us to great and noble actions.”
In his first Inaugural Address as President of the United States, Washington reverently acknowledged our country’s dependence on Almighty God:
“It would be peculiarly improper to omit in this first official act, my fervent supplications to that Almighty Being who rules over the universe – who presides in the council of nations – and whose providential aids can supply every human defect, that his benediction may consecrate to the liberties and happiness of the people of the United States, a government instituted by themselves for these essential purposes.”
After serving as our President during probably the most important two terms in our history, Washington advised us again that religion and morality are necessary for good government.
“Let it simply be asked, where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths which are the instruments of investigation in the courts of justice?” –George Washington [Taken from Washington’s Farewell Address of 1796].
“The greater part of evidence will always consist of the testimony of witnesses – this testimony is given under those solemn obligations which an appeal to the God of truth impose; and if oaths should cease to be held sacred, our dearest and most valuable rights would become insecure” – -John Jay [Taken from John Jay’s charge to the grand jury of the circuit court for the district of Vermont on June 25, 1772, at 284].
We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. John Adams, Address to the Military, October 11, 1798
In examining the various forms of oath we find the following:
Oaths are taken in various forms; the most usual is upon the Gospel by taking the book in the hand; the words commonly used are, “You do swear that,” etc. “so help you God,” and then kissing the book. The origin of this oath may be traced to the Roman law, and the kissing the book is said to be an imitation of the priest’s kissing the ritual as a sign of reverence, before he reads it to the people. Rees, Cycl.
Another form is by the witness or party promising holding up his right hand while the officer repeats to him,” You do swear by Almighty God, the searcher of hearts, that,” etc., “And this as you shall answer to God at the great day.”
In another form of attestation commonly called an affirmation, the officer repeats, “You do solemnly, sincerely, and truly declare and affirm, that,” etc.
The oath, however, may be varied in any other form, in order to conform to the religious opinions of the person who takes it. Oaths may conveniently be divided into promissory, assertory, judicial and extra judicial.
Among promissory oaths may be classed all those taken by public officers on entering into office, to support the constitution of the United States, and to perform the duties of the office. Custom-house oaths and others required by law, not in judicial proceedings, nor from officers entering into office, may be classed among the assertory oaths, when the party merely asserts the fact to be true.
Judicial oaths, or those administered in judicial proceedings. Extra-judicial oaths are those taken without authority of law, which, though binding in foro conscientiae, do not render the persons who take them liable to the punishment of perjury, when false.
Oaths are also divided into various kinds with reference to the purpose for which they are applied; as oath of allegiance, oath of calumny, oath ad litem, decisory oath, oath of supremacy, and the like The Act of Congress of 1789, regulates the time and manner of administering certain oaths as follows:
Be it enacted, etc., That the oath or affirmation required by the sixth article of the constitution of the United States, shall be administered in the form following, to wit, “I, A B, do solemnly swear or affirm, (as the case may be,) that I will support the constitution of the United States.” The said oath or affirmation shall be administered within three days after the passing of this act, by any one member of the senate, to the president of the senate, and by him to all the members, and to the secretary; and by the speaker of the house of representatives, to all the members who have not taken a similar oath, by virtue of a particular resolution of the said house, and to the clerk: and in case of the absence of any member from the service of either house, at the time prescribed for taking the said oath or affirmation, the same shall be administered to such member when he shall appear to take his seat.
That at the first session of congress after every general election of representatives, the oath or affirmation aforesaid shall be administered by any one member of the House of Representatives to the speaker; and by him to all the members present, and to the clerk, previous to entering on any other business; and to the members who shall afterwards appear, previous to taking their seats. The president of the senate for the time being, shall also administer the said oath or affirmation to each senator who shall hereafter be elected, previous to his taking his seat; and in any future case of a president of the senate, who shall not have taken the said oath or affirmation, the same shall be administered to him by any one of the members of the Senate.
That the members of the several state legislatures, at the next session of the said legislatures respectively, and all executive and judicial officers of the several states, who have been heretofore chosen or appointed, or, who shall be chosen or appointed before the first day of August next, and who shall then be in office, shall, within one month thereafter, take the same oath or affirmation, except where they shall have taken it before which may be administered by any person authorized by the law of the state, in which such office shall be holden, to administer oaths. And the members of the several state legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers of the several states, who shall be chosen or appointed after the said first day of August, shall, before they proceed to execute the duties of their respective offices, take the foregoing oath or affirmation, which shall be administered by the person or persons, who, by the law of the state, shall be authorized to administer the oath of office; and the person or persons so administering the oath hereby required to be taken, shall cause a record or certificate thereof to be made, in the same manner as by the law of the state he or they shall be directed to record or certify the oath of office.
That all officers appointed or hereafter to be appointed, under the authority of the United States, shall, before they act in their respective offices, take the same oath or affirmation, which shall be administered by the person or persons who shall be authorized by law to administer to such officers their respective oaths of office; and such officers shall incur the same penalties in case of failure, as shall be imposed by law in case of failure in taking their respective oaths of office.
That the secretary of the Senate, and the clerk of the House of Representatives, for the time being, shall, at the time of taking the oath or affirmation aforesaid, each take an oath or affirmation in the words following, to wit; “I, A B, secretary of the Senate, or clerk of the House of Representatives (as the case may be) of the United States of America, do solemnly swear or affirm, that I will truly and faithfully discharge the duties of my said office to the best of my knowledge and abilities.”
There are several kinds of oaths, some of which are enumerated by law.
Oath of calumny. This term is used in the civil law. It is an oath which a plaintiff was obliged to take that he was not actuated by a spirit of chicanery in commencing his action, but that he had bona fide a good cause of action. This oath is somewhat similar to our affidavit of a cause of action. No instance is known in which the oath of calumny has been adopted in practice in the admiralty courts of the United States.
Decisory oath. By this term in the civil law is understood an oath which one of the parties defers or refers back to the other for the decision of the cause. It may be deferred in any kind of civil contest whatever, in questions of possession or of claim; in personal actions and in real. The plaintiff may defer the oath to the defendant, whenever he conceives he has not sufficient proof of the fact which is the foundation of his claim; and in like manner, the defendant may defer it to the plaintiff when he has not sufficient proof of his defence. The person to whom the oath is deferred ought either to take it or refer it back, and if he will not do either the cause should be decided against him. The Decisory oath has been practically adopted in the district court of the United States, for the district of Massachusetts, and admiralty causes have been determined in that court by the oath Decisory; but the cases in which this oath has been adopted, have been where the tender has been accepted; and no case is known to have occurred there in which the oath has been refused and tendered back to the adversary.
A judicial oath is a solemn declaration made in some form warranted by law, before a court of justice or some officer authorized to administer it, by which the person who takes it promises to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, in relation to his knowledge of the matter then under examination, and appeals to God for his sincerity. In the civil law, a judicial oath is that which is given in judgment by one party to another.
Oath in litem, in the civil law, is an oath which was deferred to the complainant as to the value of the thing in dispute on failure of other proof, particularly when there was a fraud on the part of the defendant, and be suppressed proof in his possession. In general the oath of the party cannot, by the common law, be received to establish his claim, but to this there are exceptions. The oath in litem is admitted in two classes of cases: 1. Where it has been already proved, that the party against whom it is offered has been guilty of some fraud or other tortious or unwarrantable act of intermeddling with the complainant’s goods, and no other evidence can be had of the amount of damages. As, for example, where a trunk of goods was delivered to a shipmaster at one port to be carried to another, and, on the passage, he broke the trunk open and rifled it of its contents; in an action by the owners of the goods against the shipmaster, the facts above mentioned having been proved aliunde, the plaintiff was held a competent witness to testify as to the contents of the trunk. The oath in litem is also admitted on the ground of public policy, where it is deemed essential to the purposes of justice but this oath is admitted only on the ground of necessity. An example may be mentioned of a case where a statute can receive no execution unless the party interested is admitted as a witness.
A promissory oath is an oath taken by authority of law by which the party declares that he will fulfill certain duties therein mentioned, as the oath which an alien takes on becoming naturalized, that he will support the Constitution of the United States: the oath which a judge takes that he will perform the duties of his office. The breach of this does not involve the party in the legal crime or punishment of perjury. A suppletory oath in the civil and ecclesiastical law, is an oath required by the judge from either party in a cause, upon half proof already made, which being joined to half proof, supplies the evidence required to enable the judge to pass upon the subject.
A purgatory oath is one by which one destroys the presumptions which were against him, for he is then said to purge himself when he removes the suspicions which were against him; as when a man is in contempt for not attending court as a witness, he may purge himself of the contempt by swearing to a fact which is an ample excuse.

Outside of the Christian Church in America the Boy Scouts of America is the only organization that has been persecuted for its’ religious and moral stance. The
Boys Scout has refuse to capitulate to the demands of the Homosexual community and other ungodly persons or organizations that wish to have them violate the Scouts Oath and Scout Laws, whether by economic pressure or judicial rulings by activists judges. Unlike the Church where some mainline denominations have capitulated to those demands which are in violation of the laws of nature and Natures God. For no weapon form against the Boy Scouts of America shall prosper.
But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. Matthew 18:6
STATE OF CALIFORNIA
ATTORNEY OATH OF OFFICE BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONS
CODE
6067. Every person on his admission shall take an oath to support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of California, and faithfully to discharge the duties of any attorney at law to the best of his knowledge and ability. A certificate of the oath shall be indorsed upon his license.
6068. It is the duty of an attorney to do all of the following:
(a) To support the Constitution and laws of the United States and of this state.
(b) To maintain the respect due to the courts of justice and judicial officers.
(c) To counsel or maintain those actions, proceedings, or defenses only as appear to him or her legal or just, except the defense of a person charged with a public offense.
(d) To employ, for the purpose of maintaining the causes confided to him or her, those means only as are consistent with truth, and never to seek to mislead the judge or any judicial officer by an artifice or false statement of fact or law.
(e) (1) To maintain inviolate the confidence, and at every peril to himself or herself to preserve the secrets, of his or her client.
In referencing the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) other wise known as the Anti Christian Liberation Union founded by Rodger Baldwin, Crystal Eastman, Albert DeSilver and others in 1920, as a socialist communist organization in which Rodger Baldwin in his 1938 Manifesto stated that in order to defeat the United States of America, first remove all reference of God and redefine the family which has been the accomplished objective since that period of time. To validate this charge the
ACLU in their Mission Statement states the following:
Your First Amendment rights freedom of speech, association and assembly. Freedom of the press, and freedom of religion supported by the strict separation of church and state.
No where in the Constitution is there mention of Separation of Church and State? Unless you are reading the constitution of the now defunct Soviet Union which reads:
Article 52 [Religion] [Emphasis added] (1) Citizens of the USSR are guaranteed freedom of conscience, that is, the right to profess or not to profess any religion, and to conduct religious worship or atheistic propaganda. Incitement of hostility or hatred on religious grounds is prohibited. (2) In the USSR, the church is separated from the state, and the school from the church.
This is a classic example of a false statement of fact and law. As is evident of their continuing purporting in the advancement of the Gay and Lesbian agenda which is contrary to the Laws of Nature and Natures’ God. Their criminal and dangerous agenda to undermine this Nations stability all to the advancement of a socialist government, which has been the ACLUs’ agenda since the 1920’s. This is an Organization that has aided and abetted the enemy in the war on terrorism, illegal immigration and by advocating the continual violation of the Laws of Nature and Natures God. But yet the attorneys of the ACLU who have taken the Attorney Oath of Office in California have all violated their oath and are now subject to the law for penalty of perjury.
The Hippocratic Oath
(Modern Version)
I swear in the presence of the Almighty and before my family, my teachers and my peers that according to my ability and judgment I will keep this Oath and Stipulation.
To reckon all who have taught me this art equally dear to me as my parents and in the same spirit and dedication to impart knowledge of the art of medicine to others.
I will continue with diligence to keep abreast of advances in medicine. I will treat without exception all who seek my ministrations, so long as the treatment of others is not compromised thereby, and I will seek the counsel of particularly skilled physicians where indicated for the benefit of my patient.
I will follow that method of treatment which according to my ability and judgment, I consider for the benefit of my patient and abstain from whatever is harmful or mischievous. I will neither prescribe nor administer a lethal dose of medicine to any patient even if asked nor counsel any such thing nor perform the utmost respect for every human life from fertilization to natural death and reject abortion that deliberately takes a unique human life.
With purity, holiness and beneficence I will pass my life and practice my art. Except for the prudent correction of an imminent danger, I will neither treat any patient nor carry out any research on any human being without the valid informed consent of the subject or the appropriate legal protector thereof, understanding that research must have as its purpose the furtherance of the health of that individual. Into whatever patient setting I enter, I will go for the benefit of the sick and will abstain from every voluntary act of mischief or corruption and further from the seduction of any patient.
Whatever in connection with my professional practice or not in connection with it I may see or hear in the lives of my patients which ought not be spoken abroad, I will not divulge, reckoning that all such should be kept secret.
While I continue to keep this Oath un-violated may it be granted to me to enjoy life and the practice of the art and science of medicine with the blessing of the Almighty and respected by my peers and society, but should I trespass and violate this Oath, may the reverse by my lot. It is quite apparent that since 1973 until the present day, that a large number of Medical Doctors have not honored their obligation as presented by the Hippocratic Oath, when Fifty million unborn children’s lives have been terminated through both abortion and partial birth abortion procedures.
“Therefore the LORD shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one is a hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.” Isaiah 9:17
Finally every person who is elected, appointed, or hired in a position of public trust has an obligation of fulfilling their Oath of Office
Webster’s 1828 Dictionary Defines:
OBLIGA’TION, n. [L. obligatio.]
1. The binding power of a vow, promise, oath or contract, or of law, civil, political or moral, independent of a promise; that which constitutes legal or moral duty, and which renders a person liable to coercion and punishment for neglecting it. The laws and commands of God impose on us an obligation to love him supremely, and our neighbor as ourselves. Every citizen is under an obligation to obey the laws of the state.
Moral obligation binds men without promise or contract.
2. The binding force of civility, kindness or gratitude, when the performance of a duty cannot be enforced by law. Favors conferred impose on men an obligation to make suitable returns.
3. Any act by which a person becomes bound to do something to or for another, or to forbear something.
4. In law, a bond with a condition annexed and a penalty for non-fulfillment. After briefly examining the components of a oath, the different kinds of oath and the obligation that is attached with those who take an oath, one can draw a conclusion particularly in the state of California that oath seems foreign to our current body of government. Judging from their actions, one could accurately conclude our elected government officials either do not know about the obligation that is attached to taking the oath, or that they choose to ignore it.
So what remedy do the people have against public officials who violate their Oath of Office? Violation of an Oath or promise is certainly perjury, and perjury is punishable by imprisonment.
It is quite apparent that they rejected the Declaration of Independence which discloses what the United States Constitution is about. James Madison the architect of the United States Constitution; Sir William Blackstone commentaries on the various categories of law; and Martin Luther King jr., in a letter from jail in Birmingham, makes the following statements.
“The transcendent law of nature and of nature’s God, which declares that the safety and happiness of society are the objects at which all political institutions aim, and to which all such institutions must be sacrificed” –James Madison [Taken from The Federalist No. 43, at 295]
“This law of nature, being co-eval with mankind and dictated by God himself, is of course superior in obligation to any other. It is binding over all the globe, in all countries, and at all times: no human laws are of any validity if contrary to this; … upon these two foundations, the law of nature and the law of revelation, depend all human laws; that is to say, no human laws should be suffered to contradict these”
William Blackstone [Taken from Volume I of The Commentaries of the Law of England, “Of the Rights of Persons,” at 41 (1765)]
“A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law or the law of God. An unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law. To put it in terms of St. Thomas Aquinas: An unjust law is a human law that is not rooted in eternal law and natural law.” –Martin Luther King, Jr., Letter from
Birmingham Jail, April 16, 1963
The words of former Chief Justice Robert Moore, of the Alabama Supreme Court continues to reverberate in my spirit about his obligation to fulfill his Oath of Office, every elected, appointed or hired person in a position of trust that are required to take an oath of office should demonstrate that same fervent spirit that has been exemplified by
Chief Justice Roy Moore of Alabama. It is quite simple if we do it Gods’ way.
“Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people.” Pro. 14:32
When the righteous rule the nation rejoice when the wicked rule the nation groans.” Pro. 29:2
“Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.” Gal 5:1
