In a monarchy, whenever the statement: In the Name of the Monarch is uttered; this implies: the institution of the Monarch, not the literal name, Elizabeth or Charles. The same thing goes in a Democracy; when this same statement is made, it signifies, the institution (Constitution) of democracy, and not the name of the current holder of the position of the head of the institution.
However, if an individual takes a marriage oath, or the oath of office (such as in the United States of America), or gives evidence in a court of Law, such an individual is not a “Christian”, because that individual has contradicted his or her Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, who explicitly said in the Sermon on the Mount: see Mathew 5:34-37; But I say to you, take no oath at all, neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God, nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of His feet, nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. Nor shall you take an oath by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black. But make sure your statement is, ‘Yes, yes’ or ‘No, no’; anything beyond these is of evil origin.
This makes you wonder about the so called Christian Evangelical sects supporting Donald Trump for Presidency of the United States of America for 2024, they are not CHRISTIANS, they only appropriate the label “Christians” in name only, but not in nature. The same goes for people who swear an oath at Church weddings, or gives evidence in a court of law, by swearing on the Bible, or certain US Supreme court Justices. If they can not or will not, do or follow the precepts of their Lord and Saviour, no prayer said in the Name of Jesus Christ will be heard by their Lord, because they speak from their head and not from their heart.
