Why did the felon refuse to swear on the Bible?

I just watched it......certainly Roberts was either incompetent or malevolent....with him it is hard to know which.
He didn't refuse. Melania had two Bibles with her, but was still trying to get situated when Roberts started the swearing in. Simple as that. Try not to shit yourself over every little thing. Take John Fetterman's advice and pace yourself.
Yep Jarod should have a Coke and change his diaper.
 
I’m sure it’s not a constitutional requirement, but I’ve never seen a president so blatantly refuse this tradition.

Why?

Don't know where that custom even came from, but most Christians think that taking an oath on ANYTHING is flat out wrong.

What did Jesus say? He said, “Make no oath at all, either by heaven,” so he’s forbidding making oaths with a vow, “or by Earth,” etc., etc.

Matthew 5 and the first of verse 36, “Nor shall you make an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. Let your statement be, yes, yes or no, no. Anything beyond these is of evil.”

Ever heard anyone say, "I swear on my mother's grave"? Creepy.

I'm not saying that's why he did it (I think Melania's and/or Roberts's timing was off), I'm saying I'm okay with it.

Sleep peacefully in your believe that he is from satan, Pharisee.

Trump sure did look happy when he took Reberts hand when it was over....as if he did not mind at all.....which is interesting.

I don’t care, my point is how insane Trumppers would be if Obama had done that.

Its actually good he didn't. I'm actually surprised that no one has brought up by now the fact That Christians are not to swear to anything or to take Oaths. If asked something a simple yes or no will do. Anything else is from evil. To take an oath while swearing on A BIBLE would make it even worse when it is in fact THE BIBLE that tells us not to do such things. Wow! Buncha heathens in here! LOL

33“Again you have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform to the Lord what you have sworn.’ 34But I say to you, Do not take an oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, 35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. 36 And do not take an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. 37 Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything more than this comes from evil.”
