The Bible is used to commit the person to tell the truth or to incur the wrath of God. However it is a sin to perform such an act, for the Lord has said "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord in vain" "Let thy answer be nay, nay or ya ya".

----------------------- The courts accept that many people believe the Bible to be fact. they do not seek to make their own determination on the truth of that belief.
The first uses of the bible in courts have long since been lost to history. Sometime in the first millenium A.D., the Catholic Church began to establish its own courts, complete with a legal system governed by canon law. Whether the bible was ever used in a court before this is impossible to say - there would be no surviving records of the court proceedings form that period.
The U.S. Consitutation and your states Consitutation. When writing the Articles of federation the Founding Farthers also used the Bible as a guide for the parameters if you will.
Yes...in the old tradition of the court you placed your hand on the bible and the court officer asked you "Do you swear to tell the truth,the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you god". However this old tradition is no longer used in the vast majority of todays courts due to the fact that not everyone is a christian and considers the bible as a holy book..even the oath has been changed in the vast majority of courts to exclude the phrase "so help you god" for much of the same reasons...
The bible is used because Christianity is the majority in the US. However, most courts are swearing the oath without the bible now. The ACLU and other groups that advocate for separation of church and state are continually challenging the use of the bible in public courts. If you are asked to swear an oath on the bible, and you are not Christian, you should refuse to swear on the bible.Answerbecause for 2,000 years the bible has been a benchmark for echical conduct and appropriate interpersonal dealings. when used properly and in context, it provides the answers that some people haven't been raised to understand. many people don't know that things like "the golden rule" are direct quotes from the bible. if you had ever read the whole thing, you may be able to understand why it is so usefull in situations of conflict.
