Hamilton: God called believers to be ambassadors even in this dark moment
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Darkness is not an affirmative force. It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: This is the, Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: It should be uncomfortable for a believer to live as a hypocrite, delivering people.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Out of the bondage of mainstream media and the philosophies of this world.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: God has called you and me to be his ambassadors even in this dark moment. Let's not miss our moment.
The Hamilton Corner is hosted by Abraham Hamilton III
>> Abraham Hamilton III: And now the, Hamilton Corner.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Good evening everybody. Welcome to the Hamilton Corner. Abraham Hamilton III here joined by the corner contingent right across from me, my man, 100 grand, who is not here tricked, y'.
>> Speaker D: All.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Right? Across from me today is our friendly neighborhood with a holic Mr. Marty Sparks, who I must say his shirt is matching mine a little bit today in the same hue, same shade. Bobby's not hit a crack on my shirt, Tom. I look like a picnic table blanket.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: I like picnic baskets. Hey, boo boo boy.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: In the screening room we have produce extraordinaire. Often imitated, never duplicated. The real J. Mac, ladies and gentlemen. And we're ready to rock and roll with today's edition of the program. At this very moment, many of you, if not most of you, are making your transition from your part time jobs where you generate an income to your full time jobs where you cultivate an outcome. And as you do so, I'd like to encourage you to do so with intentionality, understanding the primacy that God places on family. You know, man, there is an ethos that is available to us as members of God's eternal family that, that drives us to transcend the partisan rancor that permeates our, our nation currently. I posted on social media just the other night after I got home. so I was just reading up on some stuff and and I posted about RFK Jr. S tenure as HHS secretary and I just simply posed this question. I wonder what the response would be to RFK Jr. S tenure with his vaccine stance and all, if he had been pointed by, appointed by a Democrat president. You know, it just, and I posed it the question really as a thought experiment to invite people who follow me on social media to weigh in. And many people weighed in and the responses were, were, well, were very thoughtful. And it's just one of those things that just reiterated for me the necessity of the Christ follower having a kingdom centric ethos. And it refused to be bogged down by the features of partisanship, that kind of drive. What's happening now? You know, I'm, looking forward to joining the family of God in, in Farmerville, Louisiana, at, Darbone Church of Christ this weekend, starting tomorrow evening, by the way.
One of the things I plan to address is the reality that God expects body
And one of the things I plan to move, I plan to address to some degree is the reality that God expects his body to be his body. You know, and one of the things that has happened in our society is that things that God has ordained the church to do and established our constitutional republic with democratic features to allow us the liberty to accomplish them. We've kind of ceded that ground and we simply wait for politicians or judges or courts or other, to do things that the body of Christ is supposed to do, man. We're supposed to be making disciples. We are the ones that should understand God's view of the family and the opportunity that we have through the family. We are the ones that should understand how the Lord has comprised his body. And when he says that the Christian is to do good to everyone, but especially the household of faith, that's what God expects of his body, man. And we, we. It's time for us to stop talking about going to church and to be, to be the church. So when I say on a daily basis, what goes on in your house is far more important than what goes on in the White House, guys. Is simply true. The things that transpire in the White House are, are very important, no doubt about it, but they should not be more important to you and me than what we do in our homes on a daily basis. We must embrace God's view of his world and recognize what we have the opportunity to do and be a part of his commission. Starting right in the home. Starting right in our home. So as you are making your transition at this very moment, I encourage you to do it with intentionality and welcome the potency of the grace of God to govern your engagement and you be a part of God's solution and not fan the flames of, frankly, the feckless partisan rancor that has permeated our country.
When we reject the truth of God's word, we do so to our own detriment
To the word of God we go. And this is something that has been on my heart for quite some time. I'm going to spend some time talking about it now. Genesis chapter one, in the very beginning, you know, this is what Jesus affirms later is recorded in, Matthew chapter 19, as he fields a question concerning marriage. but in Genesis chapter one, God says something. And when we as humankind reject the truth of God's word, we do so to our own detriment. We do so to our own detriment. Genesis 1, verses 27 and 28. This is what God's word Says God created in his own image, in the image of God, he created him. Male and female. He created them. God blessed them. And God said to them, be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth. Guys, right at the very beginning of the scripture, in the book of Beginnings, throughout the entirety of God's word, from Genesis through revelation, he consistently affirms, ah, the reality that the maximized human expression of his image is reflected in authentic masculinity and authentic femininity. Male, to say it better. Maleness and femaleness is God's idea. It is God's design. It's not a feature of human will. It is not a sociological construct. It is hardwired into us by the designer. God made mankind in his image. He made them both male and female, male and female, equal in quality before a high and holy God. Qualitative equals while simultaneously complementarily distinct from one another. This is why it doesn't matter how many surgeries one undergoes. It doesn't matter how many, hormones one ingests. It doesn't matter how many chemicals one consumes.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: It doesn't really, frankly, matter how one may think they feel internally.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: A male will never become a female.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Never.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: It will never happen. A female will never become a male. It will never happen. Maleness and femaleness is determined at a dn, at the DNA level, literally on the code that is written on you before you were ever visible to anyone, determines who you are. The fact that you may be, you know, middle age and balding, that was in your code when you were conceived. If you, you know, it's never.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: It'S never going to change.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: But what we have done in many ways, you know, and, this is a good way to present this analogy. a while ago I said, and it struck me one day, I was in a mall. This is years ago. This, this probably, I don't know, this is before Hurricane Katrina. And I was in a mall and I just happened to go by Abercrombie and Fitch. And I never went gone by that store. And you know, they had that quote, models. If you're watching the show, you see my air quotes in the air.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: And basically you got people standing in.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: The hallway and, standing in the mall in underwear and saying, they're modeling bathing suits. You see, they're modeling them. But it's real people. They've hired models. And I'm just like, man, we live in a pornography society, you know, to where the objectification of the human body, you know, it's everywhere. You know, if you, if you happen to try to take in a sports event, anything, somebody they might be trying to sell, you know, motor oil, and you got a naked woman on the tv, you know, you got hamburgers, you got naked. Nakedness on the tv. I said, man, we live it, we live in a pornography society. It's so pornography, but we don't even understand what imagery is reorienting our minds and drawing our attention. It's not just the hardcore smut stuff.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: We have a regular.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: almost an habituated, pornographized society. Similarly, we live in a feminized society. And I want to be clear on what I mean when I say a feminized society. Because I was asked before when I was speaking at a place and they asked me, abe, do you think there's a war on men? And my answer, seemed to shock the people in attendance. I said, well, yes, you can describe this as a war on men, but I would say that the war on men is a subset of the satanic war on God's image bearers. The, the war is to try to feminize men and to masculinize women and to reduce all of mankind to an indecipherable, interchangeable amalgamation of human goo. And that was my answer. Because if you look at the various features of our society, and I've made this point on the show before, much of the celebration of womanhood in our current culture really is a celebration of women who seek to embrace various levels and degrees of masculine characteristics. And the same is true on the opposite side. I mean, how many times do you see, you know, this man is in, he's in touch with his feminine side. Listen, the only feminine, feminine side I got is named Maria. She's called my wife.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: And it's simply because God made me to be a man. And the ultimate objective though, and this.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Is what people fail to realize.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: John, John 10.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: The thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy. When you, not you individually, but when we as mankind that we are deluged with continuous efforts to erode God's design for mankind, continuous efforts to twist God's.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Image bearers, which really means that as bearers of God's image, we ultimately, especially as we're born again, are, ah, called to image God. When there is a consistent, unrelenting, incessant effort to erode God's image bearers, the.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Ultimate objective is for our own destruction. It's for our own destruction. So we'll have conversation about things, conversations about things that used to be obvious. You know, that bone density, physicality, muscular structure, things of that nature.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: That God in our very bodies echoes.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: The fact that he's made us to be distinct.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: That distinctiveness indicates that that distinction doesn't, isn't just meant to be there for observational purposes. It's to be functional. It's obvious by our makeup that that.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: One of us would be more naturally inclined towards protection. One of us is more naturally inclined toward nurture.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: That's just the reality. Now of course there are always exceptions to things, but we need to be honest about what is an outlier and what is normative.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Sure, you have tall women, you have Asia Wilson for example, and is a very good basketball player.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: But on average, generally who's taller. And while we're on that topic, even though you have tall women, usually the tallest of this of mankind usually is.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: In the male form. You often have, you know, six, seven, six, eight women. And then some in playing basketball, for example, which is actually even a basketball rarity.
Our society has intentionally perverted complementary God ordained distinctiveness
Some of the tallest basketball players around 6, 3, 64 women basketball players. But the tallest male basketball players are regularly 7ft tall. Victor win Benyama, who is still growing, apparently is 7 7.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: And here's the thing that we miss. Our society has intentionally perverted the complementary God ordained distinctiveness to make that the enemy.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: It's evil if you say men and women are different.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: No, it's not. It's not only natural, it's wonderful. God has made me as a man and my body does things that women's bodies do not do. Glory to God for that. But if we continually reject that and.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Look for ways to try to undermine, and I'll say it, pervert God's good and glorious design, we do so ultimately to our own detriment. So brothers, listening to me, embrace the.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Reality that God has made us to be men. Sisters who are listening to me, embrace the reality that God has made you to be women. And let us glorify the King of.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Kings and the Lord of Lords for.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: What he has done.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Because it is not only good, but it's maximally beneficial for you and I to function within his order.
>> Joseph Parker: A discipleship minute with Joseph Parker in Exodus 1 is a wonderful story of two little midwives, ship and Pua, who Pharaoh told them, kill the baby boys when they're born. And they had it in their heart. They just knew this is wrong. And their perspective was we're not going to do this because this is against God's will and they refused to do it. What wonderful role models Sherp and Pew are not only for pastors, but for every believer in every context. Because it is always going to take courage to really follow Jesus accurately. And it's one of those things where I believe absolutely every believer should diligently say, lord, show me what you want me to do to help end the slaughter of children in our country. And I believe God has something for every believer to do to help. The devil hates grown folks and he hates children. The devil can't stand children and he loves to abort them. So it's important for us to understand this is serious business.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Shining light into the darkness. This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
The Darbone Church of Christ meetings begin tomorrow evening
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner. Abraham Hamilton III here. I mentioned it already, but. But the Darbone Church of Christ is located at 1148 Sterlington highway in Farmerville, Louisiana. The meetings begin tomorrow evening. There'll be tomorrow Saturday and Sunday. so looking forward to being there. If you're in the area or nearby the area and willing to come to the area, you are welcome to join us.
Supreme Court Justice Katanji Brown Jackson participated in oral arguments yesterday
Now, there have been lots of, public conversation about, Supreme Court Justice Katanji Brown Jackson's participation in the oral arguments in the Louisiana vs Calais case. That oral arguments were heard yesterday. And, I understand a lot of the visceral reactions when you hear what was said. but let me just say one, I am not a, Katanji Brown Jackson fan. Let me say it that way. This is the same one who, did not know or refused to say publicly what a woman was. Okay? So I think that statement alone is disqualifying to be a Supreme Court justice. Especially when you have things like Bostock that the court heard and you have cases going before the court like this. Like the oral arguments in the case out of Colorado that we heard last week, where you had a Christian counselor who was challenging a Colorado state law that says that if she had a minor client who came to her and said she, that the client had unwanted same sex attraction and wanted help to rid themselves of the unwanted same sex attraction or they had unwanted, dysphoric inclinations and wanted help to be remedied from that Colorado state law says no, you, you can't help in that direction because that would be quote, unquote, conversion therapy. It's insane.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: It's insane.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: So that's one of the cases that Katrana Brown Jackson is going to hear. You think it might be Important for.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Her to know what a woman is.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: In order to help, you know, Anyway, that being said, I think it is, at a minimum, unhelpful to mischaracterize someone's opinion that you disagree with, you know, is disagreement. The First Amendment is profound. You know, Proverbs 18 talks about the one who speaks first seems right until another cross comes across, examine him coming and questions him. You know, but we don't do ourselves any good by mischaracterizing somebody's argument just because we may not agree with them. So I try, and I'm not perfect at this, but I endeavor to properly characterize the perspective of people who disagree with me as I disagree with them. I don't want to disagree with the caricature of what they are saying. I want to disagree with the substance of their argument. If I have a disagreement, and if I agree, then I agree. But if I disagree, I want to make sure I am, articulating that disagreement accurately based on what they say, not a false representation of what they say. And I feel like much of the public conversation about Catanji Brown Jackson's perspective in this case is not. It's a caricature of what she's attempting to argue. Now, let me say this.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: I still completely disagree with her. She's flat wrong. She's flat wrong.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: But she's wrong for. For reasons that are different than the caricature of, her representation. So what am I talking about?
The Louisiana vs Calais case challenges redrawn congressional districts in Louisiana
All right, first, it's important for people to know what is the case about? The Louisiana vs Calais case. Calais is spelled C A L L, A I S. And this is a case challenging redrawn congressional districts in the state of Louisiana, which is my home state, where I'll be tomorrow evening. By God's grace. This dates back to 2022, because you had maps that were drawn and that were presented. then there was a challenge raised in a lawsuit at the district court level initially in the state of Louisiana that said the 2022 maps were insufficient. Okay, the U.S. i'm not the U.S. i'm sorry. The Louisiana state legislature said, okay, we'll redraw the maps. And so they redrew the maps for 2024. All right, initially, the U.S. supreme Court was scheduled to hear this case in its last term, but the court said, you know what? We'll put on this case. We'll hear the case later. All right, the 2022 maps were brought into question because of the potential violation of Section 2 of the Voting Rights act has said that they need. There needed to be an additional minority, majority minority district in the state of Louisiana because they have six congressional districts. Prior to 2022, they only had five. They had one majority minority district. And so they're saying we need to have another one. All right, so the 2022 maps were drawn and say, no, the 2022 maps violate the U.S. constitution. You need to have another majority minority district. So the 2024 maps were drawn and they added a modified congressional district, number six. All right, Jeff, if you would put the maps on the screen for the people so they can see what I'm talking.
Jeff: I want you to see one of the 2022 and 2024 maps
All right, as Jeff is putting those maps up, because I want you to see one. Because if you're going to talk about.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Something, I want you to know what you're talking about.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: It's sad that we have people speaking about things publicly. They don't have a clue what they're talking about. So if you're watching the show on your screen to your left you have the 2022 maps. You'll notice the 6 congressional district, the 1st district, the 2nd district in my hometown area, New Orleans, the 3rd, 4th, 5th and then the 6th district. The legislature concluded that that district was potentially violative of the Voting Rights Act. So they then constructed the second map, which is on your right on the screen. The 2024 map. If you'll notice, you'll see a difference in the 6th congressional district that reaches.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: All the way up to the northwest.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: In the state of Louisiana and goes all the way down from the Shreveport.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Area, potentially goes all the way down.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Slicing horizontally towards Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Yes, if you see the screen, look at the screen, you can see it.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: And ah, that kind of, kind of looks kind of funny.
The 6th Congressional District, which was newly created, had an election in 2024
>> Abraham Hamilton III: All right, well, the districts were allowed to proceed. The 6th Congressional District, which was newly created, had an election in 2024 in which they elected a long time Democrat politico in Louisiana, Cleo Fields. Now, if you don't live in Louisiana, that name may not mean anything to you, but if you are from Louisiana, you know all about Cleo Fields. I'll just mention his book, Bad Bet on the Bayou. He was involved in getting legalized gambling into Louisiana. He's part of the reason why Harris Casino is downtown in New Orleans on Canal street right now. Cleo Fields is currently the 6th congressional district, Congressman in the state of Louisiana, Long time political. So this is what the fight is about. Initially, the State of Louisiana wasn't opposing the 2024 maps. Now the State of Louisiana is saying no, yo, the 2024 maps violate the U.S. constitution, the 14th and 15th amendments. You have voters in the state, they're saying, no, no, no, no, no, we need to. And then this is. And this is. This is why. Why I want to make sure you guys understand what's going on. You had voters who had sued who'd said, no, no, no, we need to preserve majority minority congressional districts in the state, you know, because, you know, representation is important. What is, representation is important. And they. And. And this. This is the thing that was striking to me. A lot of people paid attention to Tanji Brown Jackson's comments, but I'm going to play for you one of the attorneys who's representing the, naacp, I believe, in this litigation, and I, have her name here, and she said something out loud that I was like, wait, nobody pushed back on this. Janai Nelson, who's an attorney advocating to preserve these districts as they're displayed, and she said something that I like. Wait, what? She said. She said that out loud? Because one of the things that ultimately is being argued. And, man, this is. This is wild to me. You literally have people arguing that. Literally, not figuratively. And Katanji Brown Jackson is one that was included in this. You literally have people arguing. Well, let me be. Let me be more specific. Katanj Brown Jackson was arguing on this side. She didn't make the statement, but she was arguing on this side where the results would be the same. But this. Jani Nelson literally said, no, we need to keep these majority minority districts because that's the only way we can ensure that the skin color of the person is elected is the skin color of a minority. I heard that. I said, wait, wait, what? I'm looking around in my office, like, did anybody else hear that? And this is. This is why I'm presenting this to you on the one hand, and because we have to pick as a country, man, and, this is one of those moments where. Where I long for eternity because this stuff is disgusting to me. We have to decide as a society, do we really want to be a people to. Where we don't make assessments of one another based solely on external appearance? Do we really.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Do we,
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Let's be honest.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: I feel like I want to look.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: You in the eye.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: I want you to look me in the eye. Let's be honest.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Do we really want to be a society that we grow to the place.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: To where we get beyond making assessments.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: About people, qualitative assessments about people based on nothing other than external appearance? Do we want to get to the place where we grow beyond coming to.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Conclusions about people based on nothing other than their skin pigmentation presented. That's what I want to know. Do we really want to get to that place, or do we want to.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Be a people who give lip service to being a nation where all men are endowed by the Creator with unalienable rights, that all men are created equal.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: But in reality, we don't really want a society that functions as if all.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Of us are created equal. We need to make a decision. What do we really want to do?
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Because what invariably occurs is that there are people in our country that they've created industries and to make money, and they have all kinds of things built up on perpetuating the idea that we always need to be divided, along skin color lines. And I'm just sick and tired of it. Do we want to be? Do we want to be or don't we? Because if we don't want to be, we need to stop talking and acting like we do. And if we do want to be, it's high time that we act like we want to be. And we allow our laws and our policies and our operations to reflect that reality.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: So in this case, Ketanji Brown Jackson was advocating for the necessity of maintaining majority minority districts. And you're going to hear this Janiyah.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Nelson lady who says it out loud.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: The reason why we need it is because, you know, we need votes to come out a specific way.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: And you can't trust, regardless of party.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Affiliation, you can't trust people who have.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: A different skin color to vote for.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: The people who have the skin color.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: We want to have.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: guys, I'm gonna let y' all hear for yourselves, but before I go there, I'm gonna play the audio that's been popularly circulated from Katanji Brown Jackson in. In the Supreme Court oral arguments. You won't have video because there are no cameras allowed in these courts. But this is the audio where Katanji Brown Jackson compares, more melanated people to people who would seek to benefit from the Americans with Disabilities act law. Listen to and watch. No, just listen to. Not watch. Listen to clip number one. Clip one, go.
>> Speaker D: I guess I'm thinking of it, of the fact that remedial action absent discriminatory intent is really not a new idea in the civil rights laws. And my kind of paradigmatic example of this is something like the ADA Congress passed the Americans with Disabilities act against the backdrop of a world that was generally not accessible to people with disabilities. And so it was Discriminatory, in effect, because these folks were not able to, to access these buildings. And it didn't matter whether the person who built the building or the person who owned the building intended for them to be exclusionary. That's irrelevant.
Congress said the facilities have to be made equally open to people with disabilities
Congress said the facilities have to be made equally open to people with disabilities if readily possible. I guess I don't understand why that's not what's happening here. The idea in section two is that we are responding to current day manifestations of past and present decisions that disadvantage minorities and make it so that they don't have equal access to the voting, system. Right. They're disabled. In fact, we use the word disabled in Milligan. We say that's a way in which you see that the, these processes are not equally open.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Now most of the people that are sharing that audio, they're saying, oh, Katanji Brown Jackson is saying black people are disabled. Guys, that's, that's a caricature of what she said. That that's, I understand the words that she used, but she's trying to make an argument by analogy. She's trying to argue that the maintenance of the partial, application of the Voting Rights act is necessary because the potential agreement is similar to people who fought for and ultimately had established the Americans with Disabilities Act. She's trying to, she's trying to make an analogy. She's not saying that, you know, that black people are disabled, but that's not, that's the way a lot of people, especially in conservative media, trying to say what she's saying.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: That's not what she's saying.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: She's making an argument by analogy.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Now her conclusion is still absolutely wrong, but I think we need to address the merits of what's being represented. And if we don't understand what's being said, let's just say we don't understand what she's saying. But don't say that she is saying.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Something that she is not saying. All right?
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Now the analogy is hot garbage. It's complete trash. But what she's attempting to do is use this illegal analogy to try to.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Salvage what ultimately was admitted that on, the whole reason why this, this strange 6th congressional district was created is for one reason, popular notions of race. So Jeff, would you put the, put the pictures, up on the screen again. Katanji Brown Jackson was attempting to say that there are certain people who are.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Having their votes affected in certain ways, diluting their votes.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: And it doesn't matter if the intention is not racial, if the effect is racial. Then you have an analogous circumstance, but later on you have people saying, yeah, yeah, well, that, that, that strange congressional district number six that you see that diagonally goes from Baton Rouge all the way up to northwest Louisiana. Yeah, that was created for one reason, the skin color. The people who voted along that corridor. And so Katanji Brown Jackson is trying to salvage this voting map because she knows, in my view, that the rest of the Supreme Court justices, at least five out of the nine, are like M now. We ain't in 1965 no more, sister. We ain't in 1965. This is a whole new, new time and era.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: And listen, if we want to get.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: To the place to where we don't make assumptions about people based solely on.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Skin color, how about we act like it and live like it?
>> Abraham Hamilton III: But Katanj Brown Jackson is arguing that.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Well, you know, not much has changed.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: We're still the same today as we were in the 60s. Which brings me back to the question I was asking before I played her clip. What kind of people do we want to be? Do we want to get to the place where we live, to where skin.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Color doesn't drive our assessments of one another? Or don't we?
>> Dr. Jessica Peck: At Wesley Biblical Seminary, we believe God is raising up a movement across our nation and around the world who hold fast to the inerrancy of scripture and the hope of holiness.

Abraham Hamilton: Louisiana vs Calais case involves gerrymandered congressional maps
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton iii. Now, I'm going to go to a portion of this oral argument in the Louisiana vs Calais case that who is far more striking than Katanja Brown Jackson's comments because you have an attorney that's arguing for the preservation of this gerrymandering, in the congressional district. And it's, it's man, I have the list of the, the congress members. So in district one is represented by Steve Scalise, Louisiana Congressional. District two in the New Orleans area is represented by Troy Carter, longtime Democrat, politician in Louisiana. And Steve Scalise obviously is a Republican. District 3 is represented by Clay Higgins, a Republican. District 4 is represented by Speaker Mike Johnson in the Shreveport area. District 5 is represented by Congresswoman Trillia Letlow, and she's on the Congressional Appropriations Committee. And District six, as I mentioned, is represented by, Democrat Congressman, Cleo Fields. All right, so now I get it because Katanji Brown Jackson is a supreme, Supreme Court Justice. but you have this. I want to say her name properly. Janai Nelson, an attorney arguing for the preservation of this gerrymandered maps where she literally, during the argument says the quiet part out loud. And I want to explain what's going on here because the 14th Amendment includes the equal protection clause that prohibits, treating similar people similarly situated differently. All right. The 15th Amendment prohibits race being a predominant factor in passing legislation. That's what the 15th Amendment said.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: That's what it says.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: So the argument for the invalidation of the maps is saying that these, these maps violate the 14th and 15th amendment of the Constitution. Well, this attorney arguing for the preservation of these maps. Get ready for this, guys. It's a short clip, but listen to clip number two go.
>> Speaker H: That's right. And in the state of Louisiana that that analysis was conducted in the NAR case. And it was clear that regardless of party, white Democrats were not voting for black candidates, whether they were Democrats or not. And we know that there is such a significant chasm between how black and white voters vote in Louisiana, that there's no question that even if there is some correlation between race and party, that race is the driving factor.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Did y' all hear that? Now, y' all know I translate legalese. You have Jani Nelson admitting in legalese. Well, the reason why we need this, this horizontal congressional district stretching from Baton Rouge all the way to northwest Louisiana is because we need a district that's created where the primary factor is the skin color of the people who are voting. Because it is only by having a district that is comprised majority by the skin color of the people that we want to vote in a particular way.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: That's the only way we can ensure we get the skip skin pigmentation in the candidate that we want. Did y' all hear that? And she said that we need this district to be determined based on the.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Race, as is popularly utilized, the race.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Of the people in the district. Because regardless of party, the studies have shown that even if you have people that share a party, they won't vote for a candidate who has the black skin pigmentation. Did somebody put me in Marty McFly's DeLorean and take me back to 1943? I mean, what is going on here? And this is why I started out my questioning the way I did. Do we want to be a people to where we are not making assessments and conclusions and calculations based upon skin color presentation, skin shade presentation? What is going on with us? Aren't we in a year by Lord, 2025?
Jim Eagle: We need gerrymandered congressional districts to get elected
Which leads me to what I said before.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: We have a lot of people that are talking about, well, you know, we're all together.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: We're all made in the image of God. But there are people, guys, there are people in our country who don't want.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: To go forward, who don't want to grow, who don't want to live within what the scripture describes, that we're all made in the image of God, who don't.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: They don't want to live there. They don't want to live there. In 2 Timothy 3, among the things that Paul identifies that would happen in.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: The last days, that there will be a people who are irreconcilable. Now, I want you to know what I'm saying.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: I'm not limited to anybody with skin color, because there's people. There are people who are less melanated than that say these same things.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Oh, well, you know, check your privilege and all of these things.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: I'm like, what?
>> Abraham Hamilton III: What am I unable to do in the year of our Lord 2025? Because of my skin color. Please tell me. All the people talking about, hey, you know, well, we gotta change laws and voter IDs because the black people can't get IDs.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Y' all wanna know. Y'. All. Y' all wanna know what I did just a week ago? Y' all wanna know what I did?
>> Abraham Hamilton III: You're not gonna believe this. I had to renew my driver's license.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Can you believe that?
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Can you believe that?
>> Abraham Hamilton III: I mean, as beautifully ebony as my.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Skin is, I was able to actually get an identification. y' all want to know what else? Ooh, Come really close. I have a passport, too. It won't. But, guys, I am. It's almost like this. It's like, oh, Lord. Oh, Lord. This lady said in open court at the highest court in our nation that we need gerrymandered congressional districts because regardless of party affiliation, we have found, studies have shown that party affiliation is not a sufficient incentive for us to get.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: The skin color of the candidates that we want elected.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: To get elected.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: We got to pick what we want to be. We have to choose what we want to be. Do we want to be a people that. This is a perpetual thing that pops up over and over and over and over? This is disgusting, man. So while Katandra Brown Jackson basically is arguing for the same conclusion, she's doing it in a much more word salad form. Form. Jana Nelson just comes right out and.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Say, you know what? Our studies show they don't matter what the party is. They're not gonna vote for the person, the type of skin color we want. And so we need these kind of districts to make sure that the skin color candidate that we want to get elected. Well, what about the substance of the candidate? What about the character of the candidate? What about the platform of the candidate? What about the policies of the candidate? Those things are irrelevant.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: We're going to literally go to the Supreme Court and argue for congressional districts and say flat out, the reason why we want this district is because we need to make sure the majority of people that vote, they have a particular skin shade. Because we want candidates to be elected with a particular skin shade. I'll play it again if you want me to. This is insane, guys. What do we want to be? What do we want to be? What do we want to be as a country? What do we want to be as a society? Do we want to continuously be the people? It's no different than in Joe Biden talking about, yeah, this is Jim Eagle.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: They will put y' all back in chains.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: The same Tune is hit over and over and over and over and over again. And it's sickening. It's sick.
William Galber: The Bible says all mankind are created in God's image
It's sickening, guys. It's sickening.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: And you know, one of the.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Major things, and you know, let's just.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Be real about this.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: One of the major reasons why these.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Things keep cropping up, I believe.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Because I believe the Lord gave us an opportunity in our nation's history for the church to stand up and unanimously declare with one voice.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: The Bible says that all mankind are.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Created in his image, regardless of skin shade. But you know what ended up happening? You ever wonder why we have, you know, a, Southern Baptist denomination as distinct from other Baptist denominations? Y' all want to know why? The issue was skin color. That was why you had major denominations in America that divided over skin color that created a pseudo biblical apologetic to defend the sinful predilection for partiality. And it wasn't everybody, because it was Christians who led the abolition movement first in England and then in our own country. But you know what? It did not become the majority position of the Christian. So because the body of Christ did not stand up and declare with one voice largely that this is ridiculous for us to try to have a nation to where skin color determines the value of image. Bearers of God, because we had our ancestors in the faith did not slay the giants that we are inheriting that giant contention in our day. So wicked people in our country keep plucking at the same scabs over and over and over again. We wouldn't have had a critical race theory issue if the body of Christ would have stood up historically. But here's the thing. We have an opportunity today to do it. I'm tired of this foolishness. Members of the eternal family of God, these are my family members, regardless of their pigmentation of their skin, how their shade is depicted. The Bible teaches there's only two types of people. Those who are lost and dead in trespasses and sins, and those who are redeemed. The Lord has cobbled together his eternal family from all ethnos of mankind. It's one thing to say it, it's another thing to live it. And I'm tired of wicked people getting up in official points of our nation and saying things like Janiyah Nelson said, well, you know, well, you know, boss, we, you know, we need, we need these, these skin color based districts, you know. Yeah. Because we need to make sure that our candidates have the right skin shade. I'm sick of it, man. I'm sick of It. I'm sick of it. I'm sick of it, and I'm sick of the world standards infiltrating the Lord's church. This is ridiculous. She should be ashamed of ourselves, saying.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: That in the Supreme Court.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: This is. This is insane.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Guys, we have to decide what we want to be.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Do you. Do you want to be Ms. Nelson? Do you want a country to have. The determination of who's worthy to be elected to public office is not made on something as superficial and insignificant as, skin color? Are you kidding me? Look, I'm born and raised in New Orleans. You want to know what the skin color of the city council and the mayors have been in my hometown? You want to tell me how the skin color of the mayor has affected the Desire Project in the Florida Project, in the Magnolia Project, in the Calio Project, in the Melfamine Project? Stop with this nonsense. Stop with it. You want to know the skin color of all the city council people in Detroit and in Philadelphia and in Memphis? This is insane, man. I feel like Paul writing to the Galatians. Who has bewitched you that in the year of our Lord 2025, you're going to raise your right hand, you're going to go before the well in the. In the Supreme Court building and say that we need. We need these districts. And my point in conveying this to you guys is stop letting these people.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Whip you up into a frenzy over this nonsense.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: No, listen, you are not going to.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Compel me to embrace your delusion.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: I know what y' all talking about in the streets and all of that.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: That's not where we live.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: That's not where we live. Miss me?
>> Abraham Hamilton III: With all of that nonsense.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: And I believe that with every fiber of our being. If the church would have stood up with one voice, just as William Wilberforce did in England and carry that same phenomenon in our own country, we wouldn't still be contending with this nonsense today.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: But we have the opportunity in our day to say, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. The body of Christ shall be divided about by any notions like this, O foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you? And there are people like.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Like.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: And I don't know this Janai Nelson lady personally. I don't know Katanji Brown Jackson personally. But there are people in our society who, honestly, they have whole industries that have been created, you know?
>> Joseph Parker: Huh?
>> Abraham Hamilton III: You know how many people have wrote books and DEI and, oh, all of these things with all of that stuff.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: They turn it into industry, man. They turn it into industry.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: But the people of God must be the people of God, that all mankind is made in God's image. We all are fellow bearers of God's image. And we're going to live like it. We're going to live like it. So I don't know where Jania Nelson wants to live, but I want to live in a country where we don't make determinations as to who's worthy of office based on their skin color. I want to live in a nation where we evaluate the quality of a person based on their character and based on the substantive policies that they represent. If they're asking me for my vote to put them in a job that I need them to serve me and my family in and my fellow citizens in, and if this is the type of nation we want to live in, we need to live like it. I look forward to the Supreme Court repudiating this nonsense. And I I hope there's a line in the opinion that rebukes Janine Nelson's absurd statement, because it is. It is absolutely absurd. And in the process continue the the recent tradition of body slamming Katanji Brown Jackson's insanity, too. Because no, Justice Jackson, this is nothing like the ada the Americans with Disabilities Act. I need to go hug my wife, man.
