Except he is Jewish and no Jew should swear on the Christian bible.

I was raised Lutheran but I have since ‘converted’ to the Noahide faith and,like the Jews,we share the Hebrew Scriptures.

Any oath I had to take will be on the Hebrew Bible. Doing so is not disrespectful to non-Jewish family members. A Jew can remember their grandparent without taking an oath on a Christian Bible. Doing so is a slap in the face to Torah,G-d Himself and the Jewish people.

No Jew should swear an oath of office on any Bible - Jewish or Christian. It's against Jewish law and considered taking G-d's name in vain. Jews are supposed to affirm, not swear.

It's perfectly legal, and as a notary for years, I often administered affirmations instead of oaths.

Thanks - I think we've got a thread winner...
