David, could you expound more on oaths of offices, vacant offices, etc.

[Michael Joseph]

David,

Can you explain further into how failing to file an oath of office leaves the position vacant. Is it not just a formality if the ceremony took place and the incumbent did in fact swore/affirm it?

David Merrill can weigh in with his thoughts, but I will render mine for contemplation. I do not necessarily think it is a "vacant" office - rather it is an office of consent. What I mean is since there is no oath, then there is no office of trust. There is only an "office of profit". And thusly the use of said office is merely by consent of the user. I know this to be totally true but you can't tell one who is carnal these things because carnality only wants what it wants even if that means justice be damned.

It all comes back to Honor. If you have none, then you recognize it in others. Want proof? What do you call the judge of which you go to for judgment? Is it not YOUR Honor?

Remember if the wife is caught in harlotry the husband is free to remarry. But if the husband is caught in adultery or is dead the wife is free to remarry. A double edged sword, yes? Wife = Citizenry ; Husband = Heads of State.

Thusly in regard to the marriage bed [State] there is a vacant office if when taking the vows the wife takes hers but the "would be" husband does not take his. Look at the young men and women today it seems that the youths just want to use and abuse these women and it also seems like the women like it. I don't speak to all men or women - but that should be clear. And yet, look at pop culture - does it seem like the new "divas" are chaste?

Is there any use to marry a prostitute?


"Do you remember mama, when I knocked upon your door?
I said you had the nerve to tell me you didn't want me no more, yeah
I open my front door, hear my back door slam,
You must have one of them new fangled back door man."


Why marry her when she will accept materialism in the stead of loyalty? The "her" is every man and woman absent honor! This is the externalization of the internal consciousness of man. Thusly the "men" left the office of trust and sought the office of profit. For that, it seems, is all she recognizes.

Isa 1:5 Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

Isa 1:6 From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.

Isa 1:7 Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.


Is there hope? Only you can know!


Shalom,
