Would anyone affirm an anorexic or bulimic person’s self-perception?

1. 0:00Darkness is not an affirmative force.
2. 0:03It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light.
3. 0:06This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
4. 0:11It should be uncomfortable for a believer to live as a hypocrite.
5. 0:15Delivery people out of the bondage of mainstream media.
6. 0:18And the philosophies of this world.
7. 0:20God has called you and me to be his ambassador.
8. 0:24Even in this dark moment.
9. 0:26Let's not miss our moment.
10. 0:28And now the Hamilton Corner.
11. 0:34Good evening, everybody.
12. 0:35Welcome to the Hamilton Corner.
13. 0:36Abraham Hamilton.
14. 0:37The third is my name joined by the corner contingent.
15. 0:40Right across from me, my man, 100 grand Mr. Bobby, a hundred grand Mr. Bobby, a hundred
16. 0:45grand Mr. Rosa, and in the screening room, produce extraordinaire often imitated but never
17. 0:50duplicated the real Jay Mac, ladies and gentlemen.
18. 0:53And we are ready to rock and roll with today's edition of the program.
19. 0:57At this very moment, many of you, if not most of you, are making your transition from your
20. 1:01part-time jobs where you generate an income to your full-time jobs where you cultivate an outcome.
21. 1:07As you do so, I want to remind you to do so with intentionality. I say it this way every day
22. 1:14in an effort to recalibrate our thought processes because our culture insists repeatedly that what
23. 1:21we do to generate revenue is our full-time jobs. Of course, I understand what they mean, work weeks,
24. 1:26five days a week, yada yada yada. However, if we're not careful, we can allow that
25. 1:32work week description to filter into our perception of ourselves, our self-perception, if you will.
26. 1:39How often does it occur that when you meet someone, especially for the first time, some of the first
27. 1:43questions are, well, what is your occupation? What do you do for a living? And many people
28. 1:49measure themselves qualitatively based upon their occupation as well as the quantity of revenue they generate through said occupation.
29. 1:58However, it is very rare that people identify themselves based upon the outcomes that they cultivate in the hearts and minds of people.
30. 2:10And I am offering this recalibration because what God requires of His family members, followers
31. 2:18of the Lord Jesus Christ, is that outcome cultivation truly is our full-time gig.
32. 2:25That outcome cultivation would flow from, would outwardly flow from our vertical commitment
33. 2:30to our Lord.
34. 2:32The Matthew records in Matthew 28, the instruction from Jesus to go into all the world making disciples
35. 2:38of all nations.
36. 2:40When Jesus was queried about the greatest commandment, He boiled them down to two.
37. 2:43The first is to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength, and
38. 2:48the second is like it.
39. 2:50Love your neighbor as yourself.
40. 2:52What Jesus is explaining is that this vertical commitment and investment will be evident in
41. 2:58our horizontal commitment and investment.
42. 3:03The substance of the vertical commitment will be evident in the demonstrable horizontal commitment.
43. 3:11Jesus similarly said, greater love has no man than this,
44. 3:15that he laid down his life.
45. 3:17So in the scripture, when Jesus explains
46. 3:20that the two commandments love God with all that you are
47. 3:22and the second is like it, love your neighbor as yourself,
48. 3:26that love would include a self-sacrificing gospel-anchored
49. 3:32discipleship investment in commitment.
50. 3:34Then when you dig into what is a neighbor,
51. 3:36the word neighbor literally means nearest one,
52. 3:38that responsibility to love, the nearest one,
53. 3:42starts first and foremost in our own homes.
54. 3:46So as you're making your transition,
55. 3:48remember what goes on in your house
56. 3:49is far more important than what goes on in the White House.
57. 3:53We'll never be about our father's business
58. 3:55by simply scrolling on timelines
59. 3:57or letting the latest talking head
60. 3:59tell us the talking points for the day.
61. 4:02We have to live locally, man.
62. 4:04Man, we have to live locally.
63. 4:05May the father's heart well up in us.
64. 4:12And if you're not yet a believer,
65. 4:14Have you noticed what's happening around us?
66. 4:17All of these things that are swirling affirm
67. 4:19the fact that the scripture is true.
68. 4:21And because the scripture is true, eternity is real.
69. 4:25And so is eternal life and eternal damnation.
70. 4:28I don't say this to provoke trepidation in you.
71. 4:31I say it as a matter of fact.
72. 4:35So that you can enjoy the bounty of eternal life,
73. 4:37which actually begins in the here and now.
74. 4:42As John 17, three lays it out, this is eternal life.
75. 4:45To know, Ginozco, the true and living God, and his son who he has sent Jesus Christ.
76. 4:50That Ginozco knowledge of the Messiah starts now, and it virgins, and it builds, and it grows
77. 4:57into a consummation that we'll enjoy in the eternal state.
78. 5:02But it starts now.
79. 5:03To the word of God, we go Deuteronomy, chapter 28, verse 1.
80. 5:10And you can really describe the entirety of this program with this one description.
81. 5:18We suffer when we refuse to obey God.
82. 5:26Deuteronomy 28, this is the second telling, if you will, Moses is preparing the second
83. 5:32generation of wilderness Israelites for the Promised Land and he makes this statement for
84. 5:43them in preparation.
85. 5:51Deuteronomy 28 verse 1, now it shall be.
86. 5:55If you diligently obey the Lord your God, being careful to do all this commandments,
87. 6:02which I command you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of
88. 6:11the earth.
89. 6:14I read it again, now it shall be.
90. 6:16If you diligently obey the Lord your God, being careful to do all this commandments,
91. 6:20which I command you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of
92. 6:24the earth.
93. 6:26This is the passage of scripture that following that verse that you have about 12, I know 14
94. 6:34verses that talk about the various blessings that would come to Israel following their diligent
95. 6:40obedience to the Lord.
96. 6:42It's the basis from Fred Hammond's popular songs.
97. 6:46We're blessed in the city.
98. 6:48We're blessed in the field.
99. 6:51We're blessed when we come.
100. 6:53And when we go.
101. 6:54who came from this passage.
102. 6:58But what people fail to realize that the same chapter
103. 7:03also includes a passage that says,
104. 7:05but if you don't obey the Lord,
105. 7:09then it goes on to list 28 verses that include
106. 7:15the negative consequences of disobedience.
107. 7:20Now, you know how to be a mathematician,
108. 7:21you know, time two, you notice that 28 is double 14.
109. 7:2628 is two times 14.
110. 7:31The scripture is saying very plainly, and it is not describing it in some mystical fashion,
111. 7:39is simply explaining that when you go God's way, hear the benefits of going God's way.
112. 7:47And if you refuse to go God's way, hear the consequences that await you, what you want to
113. 7:54do.
114. 7:55What do you want to do?
115. 7:58What do you want to do following God's design, adhering to God's created order, enjoying the
116. 8:06liberty as expressed in the Garden of Eden with the one parameter employed, or will you
117. 8:14seek a humanistic autonomy?
118. 8:17And as I've explained before, liberty and autonomy are not synonymous things.
119. 8:21The scripture warns us against autonomy, as it was in the days of Noah, men doing what is
120. 8:26right in their own eyes to the exclusion and in contrast to what is right according to who
121. 8:34he who determines truth. See, God is one who determines truth. We have the privilege of
122. 8:38discovering truth and adhering to it. When we reject God's way, we ultimately suffer. He
123. 8:53reject God's way concerning the nuclear family. What happens to your society? It's decimated.
124. 9:02We have a phenomenon, certain segments of our society, 70% plus a children being born or
125. 9:07being born to live in homes where they do not grow up with their fathers.
126. 9:12And regardless of the demographic, the number that percentage is increasing across all demographic
127. 9:16lines.
128. 9:20We have this persistent phenomenon.
129. 9:21I was, unfortunately, I came across this yesterday.
130. 9:24I was watching this, this kind of panel where these young adults were describing their quote
131. 9:30quote, relationship patterns and saying how they are, they repeat what they saw in their own families.
132. 9:38Duh! What, what, by Jove, I think she's got it. God designed it so that a foundational imprint is made
133. 9:52upon the life of a newly birthed bearer of God's image that they should be imprinted on by those
134. 10:01immediately around them primarily their parents. And you had these, and this
135. 10:09instance was several young ladies saying, Oh, I, you know, I always wanted children, but I never
136. 10:14really thought marriage was that important because my mom and dad never got married, you know,
137. 10:21who was normalized to me is was, you know, my mom was there and you know, she had boyfriends,
138. 10:30my dad had girlfriends, but he always was helpful when my mom needed money. He would always help out
139. 10:33with the money and I just kind of expected that kind of saying how they will be my life.
140. 10:37Nobody ever told her that. That's what she said. Then what happens in the society when that
141. 10:43becomes normalized? What happens in a society where we normalize rejection of God's design
142. 10:52for mankind? God said he made them both male and female. That's not some political platform,
143. 10:58Plank. That's not some candidate talking point. God said this. Science affirms this reality because
144. 11:07We have this amazing thing called human code, also known as DNA, where we can determine an individual whether or not they were male or female at the cellular level.
145. 11:22We can examine exhumed skeletons in the terminal.
146. 11:24This was a male, even we have no visible dermis or organs because we are who God made us to be at a cellular level.
147. 11:35A society?
148. 11:36And in two-part harmony with the
149. 11:39talking snake mashua shua shyap shua
150. 11:44God.
151. 11:45Surely.
152. 11:47I do predominantly and so we have a society built on that.
153. 12:04No, who mails females interchangeable who needs it the distinctiveness sweet we were just you let love when love wins love wins
154. 12:15Love wins. Let love love
155. 12:19And if you oppose you say if you stop say oh wait, no wait wait wait a second now
156. 12:24God made mail and he made female
157. 12:27Science of firms that God made male and he made female, but you're trying to tell me now that it's 153
158. 12:32so-called
159. 12:34Genders? Well, I see there Abraham. You're confusing biology with gender.
160. 12:42So when did that distinction develop? Do you know?
161. 12:49But yet, how did that distinction develop? Was that the product of learned examination and studious investment and
162. 12:57scientific method application? Oh, no, that wasn't how it developed. Huh? Huh?
163. 13:03But what we fail to realize is when we refuse God's way, we are the ones
164. 13:10who suffer. We are the ones.
165. 13:13Gology Willikers take prayer out of schools where children are directed on a daily basis
166. 13:19to a transcendent God to whom they are accountable. Eliminate that from a daily focus and practice.
167. 13:27What do you get? Spike in what? Violent crime? Spiking what else? Oh, disrespect. Spiking what
168. 13:35else? Disregard for one another? Spiking what else? Treating adults as if they are their
169. 13:41peers spiking what else? Oh, I remember reading Romans 1, 2 Timothy 3, in perilous times in the
170. 13:49last days among the grotesque sins that would abound. It would also include disobedience and
171. 13:54adolescence. It's almost as if God knew what would happen because dude running me 28-1 is true.
172. 14:03Now it shall be if you diligently obey the Lord your God, being careful to do all his commandments,
173. 14:09which I command you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth.
174. 14:14But the opposite is true as well.
175. 14:17If you refuse to harken to the Lord, they're twice as much peril that awaits you.
176. 14:27So what will you do?
177. 14:31There are a lot of things we can talk about.
178. 14:34But if we refuse to talk about the foundational reality that efforts to accumulate or to embrace
179. 14:46or to establish a notion of morality humanistically,
180. 14:50void of the King of glory,
181. 14:53is an exercise in futility.
182. 15:00A discipleship minute with Joseph Parker.
183. 15:03In the Word of God from Genesis to Revelation,
184. 15:05there are many truths, insights and stories
185. 15:08that help to paint a clear picture,
186. 15:10a portrait of sorts of what a man is, a real man.
187. 15:14They specifically paint a picture
188. 15:16of what a godly man is.
189. 15:18Now I should say very quickly,
190. 15:19There's only one man in all of the Word of God
191. 15:22that perfectly paints such a picture for us.
192. 15:25That man is, of course, the Lord Jesus Christ.
193. 15:28He alone stands as our only perfect role model.
194. 15:32There are though other individual characteristics
195. 15:34that we find in some of the other men of the Bible
196. 15:37that are definitely characteristics to be desired.
197. 15:41In this day and time, there's a tremendous need in the world
198. 15:44for a clear understanding of what a real man,
199. 15:47a godly man really is.
200. 15:49There's an outstanding need to paint a picture,
201. 15:51a portrait of what a godly man looks like
202. 15:54based on the wisdom of God's precious word.
203. 16:05Shiting light into the darkness,
204. 16:07this is the Hamilton Corner, an American family radio.
205. 16:11Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton III
206. 16:14here, I'm gonna explain now a part of the reason
207. 16:17why I started to show the way I did.
208. 16:19And this is gonna be something,
209. 16:21and you don't wait for it,
210. 16:23you're not gonna hear this on any of the major,
211. 16:26Suppose it news outlets that lie with advertising dollars.
212. 16:34And I'll set this conversation up,
213. 16:36this portion of the conversation up this way.
214. 16:42There are two eating disorders that are diagnosed
215. 16:47in the diagnostic and statistical manual,
216. 16:50the playbook for mental health professionals in our country.
217. 16:57These eating disorders, they're similar,
218. 16:59but they're distinct.
219. 17:01But both of these eating disorders manifest themselves.
220. 17:07They're derived from a self-perception of one's body.
221. 17:11Usually women, when these eating disorders are diagnosed,
222. 17:16they're usually presented in women.
223. 17:19They're usually presented in women
224. 17:21who have a disassociative relationship
225. 17:26with their bodies that contributes to a perception
226. 17:29of their bodies that does not coincide with reality.
227. 17:35Some of you listening, you already know where I'm going
228. 17:37with this.
229. 17:40The two eating disorders I'm speaking of are called
230. 17:42anorexia, nervosa, and bulimia.
231. 17:46Both anorexics and bulimics suffer from a perception
232. 17:53of themselves that is not accurate.
233. 17:59It's a perception, however, but the perception
234. 18:02does not reflect reality for anorexics
235. 18:06because they perceive themselves as being overweight,
236. 18:11the eating disorder that sometimes develops,
237. 18:15results in them refusing to eat.
238. 18:20Some of you might have encountered people
239. 18:22who have struggled with anorexia,
240. 18:25especially during the kind of pinup days
241. 18:29and all this kind of stuff.
242. 18:30People compare themselves to magazines
243. 18:33and other things of that nature.
244. 18:34And they concluded, and particularly as I said,
245. 18:37women, young girls sometimes,
246. 18:39that, oh, I am overweight.
247. 18:41Therefore, I will not eat.
248. 18:47Sometimes people suffer from anorexia,
249. 18:49struggle so badly they begin to develop
250. 18:51sores and things in their mouths
251. 18:53because they're not eating any food
252. 18:56for protracted amounts of time,
253. 18:58sometimes not drinking sufficient amounts of water,
254. 19:01but mostly focused on not eating any food.
255. 19:03Then another iteration of this perception of oneself
256. 19:07is being overweight, unacceptably overweight is bulimia.
257. 19:11And unlike an anorexic, a bulimic is a person that will go through periods of what's called
258. 19:19binging and purging.
259. 19:21So a bulimic will engorge themselves with food in one sitting, massive quantities of food,
260. 19:29massive amounts of caloric intake.
261. 19:32But because of their perception of themselves, that massive consumption of food would be followed
262. 19:39by manually induced purging or vomiting, similar to anorexic, sometimes those who struggle with
263. 19:53bulimia end up developing difficulties with their mouths and their teeth in particular,
264. 19:58because of stomach acid being produced or their mouths so often in vomit things and
265. 20:02an H and I'm not trying to be unnecessarily gross, but I'm just explaining this to you.
266. 20:06The question I have for you in light of this,
267. 20:11would anyone think it proper to affirm a person who struggles with anorexia
268. 20:25or with bulimia?
269. 20:26Would it be right or appropriate to affirm their perception of themselves?
270. 20:34How go even further?
271. 20:35What do you think the consequences would be to people who struggle with this in these areas?
272. 20:40If we had a society who I don't know, I'm just spitballing here, but decided to have a
273. 20:49Month where you say yeah girl you are too fat
274. 20:53Yeah girl
275. 20:55Yeah, well no fatties here and what if what if what if I'm spitballing for the what if what if there were certain flags that were developed and
276. 21:05hung over certain buildings and and and and certain corporations came out with social media posts
277. 21:11affirming that perception and say love, love wins, love wins.
278. 21:20If this is who they believe they are,
279. 21:21who are you to tell them otherwise, right?
280. 21:23Would anybody affirm that?
281. 21:25But would it be appropriate to have a culture
282. 21:27to develop that?
283. 21:29Yet, yet.
284. 21:35Will you understand this concerning the notion?
285. 21:40We used to call it a transvestism, remember that?
286. 21:44Can't say that anymore.
287. 21:45Hey, if you see a transvestite,
288. 21:47or you just a tragol of date hate speech,
289. 21:53it was called transvestism.
290. 22:01If we consistently deny the truth of God's design for mankind,
291. 22:12we should not be surprised when those efforts
292. 22:15at denial produce chaos.
293. 22:24Thanks to the New York Post,
294. 22:26and I'm not gonna go into this,
295. 22:29and there have been other outlets
296. 22:31that have covered other aspects of this wicked murderer in Minnesota, that murdered at a minimum
297. 22:43to date two children, an eight and a ten year old in Minnesota.
298. 22:47And I'm so grateful for this audience expressing their willingness and their commitment to pray
299. 22:55for these families and their grief.
300. 22:57People taking tangible steps to offer support.
301. 23:03Grateful to God for this audience, man.
302. 23:09This murder in Minnesota had a manifesto.
303. 23:13It was written in the combination of Russian Cyrillic script and kind of an English kind
304. 23:19of derivative that he developed himself.
305. 23:23But he said several things in his manifesto.
306. 23:27And I know that, and listen, I know because I've read it, people are covering other aspects
307. 23:30but then I'm touching this.
308. 23:33And I said this, Bobby said this yesterday, they're going to give rid of the story as soon
309. 23:40as they can.
310. 23:42Similar to what happened in Tennessee.
311. 23:46other instances because when it doesn't fit the narrative that they prefer, no longer conversation.
312. 23:55But according to the New York Times, sorry, the New York Post's translation of this murderous
313. 24:01manifesto, he included several quotations quotes. I'm reading for you quote. I can't cut my hair
314. 24:12now as it would be embarrassing defeat. And it might be a concerning change of character that
315. 24:17would get me reported. It's just always, it just always gets in my way. I will probably chop it on
316. 24:23on the day of the attack."
317. 24:24Here's another one.
318. 24:32I only keep the long hair
319. 24:35because it is pretty much my last shred of being trans.
320. 24:40I am tired of being trans.
321. 24:42I wish I never brainwashed myself.
322. 24:47Did you hear that?
323. 24:50I wish I never brainwashed myself.
324. 24:55I'll give you one more.
325. 24:58You said this quote.
326. 24:59I don't want to dress girly all the time, but I guess sometimes I really like it.
327. 25:06I know I'm not a woman, but I definitely don't feel like a man.
328. 25:11End quote.
329. 25:16Now I understand this is a wicked fellow.
330. 25:21Clearly has mental problems.
331. 25:27Clearly but I need to understand something.
332. 25:31someone has mental problems is not the same as saying that they do not understand right
333. 25:38versus wrong, nor is it saying that they do not understand what they're doing is murder.
334. 25:43In fact, he talked about in this manifesto about how he intentionally wanted to murder
335. 25:47children. He wanted to murder children. Now, I asked the question that I asked before in
336. 25:58discussing anorexia in bulimia, as you were listening, I know you were saying, no way,
337. 26:06No way would we affirm an anorexic young girl who's five, five and 93 pounds to say,
338. 26:13yeah, you don't need to eat for the next two weeks.
339. 26:16Yeah, girl, you're such a fatty.
340. 26:18Nobody would say that.
341. 26:19In fact, what would we say?
342. 26:20It would be what?
343. 26:22Evil and mean-spirited and degrading and dehumanizing for anyone to say that a person
344. 26:30who has a wrong self-perception about their bodies.
345. 26:36their disassociative relationship with their bodies, we would say it will be wrong to affirm
346. 26:42that disassociative relationship with their bodies. We would say we need to help them to
347. 26:47understand themselves rightly and reconcile themselves with their bodies. That's what
348. 26:52we'll say to the anorexic or the bulimic. So why did we all of a sudden decide we no
349. 26:59longer needed to say that concerning people who say, oh, I was born in the wrong body.
350. 27:07We have study, I've just studied that says that when you have children who deal with gender
351. 27:10dysphoria, that say what happens, leave them alone.
352. 27:15Don't social transition them.
353. 27:17Don't don't chemically cast straight them.
354. 27:19Don't cut off their physically healthy body parts.
355. 27:22Don't do anything of that sort.
356. 27:24You simply affirm for them and to them who they are.
357. 27:39My heart breaks for people who struggle with dysphoria's various intensities and varying
358. 27:50manifestations in iterations.
359. 27:53But you know what people do not want to talk about?
360. 27:56How you have such an increasing phenomenon of this occurring today that just so happens
361. 28:01to coincide with the prevalent availability of pornography.
362. 28:08The prevalent availability of pornography has contributed to a hyper-sexualized society.
363. 28:17And people don't want to talk about it, but God has made us in such a way that as we are
364. 28:22developing that there is an innocence that is supposed to be protected as we're developing,
365. 28:28but yet if there is an intrusion on that innocence, you have a child who is unwittingly overwhelmed
366. 28:40by the hyper-sexualized world of my pornography.
367. 28:45I mentioned on the air before, young boy,
368. 28:47in the average age of exposure today
369. 28:49is about 11 years old.
370. 28:53A young boy trying to find football equipment,
371. 28:56looking up dick sporting goods online,
372. 28:58and that was his introduction to pornography
373. 29:01at the young age of about nine or 10 years old,
374. 29:03has led to a life of bondage sexually, promiscuity.
375. 29:15In the world, I wanna talk about it, but I certainly will.
376. 29:18the scores of people that become confused sexually
377. 29:21because they have been abused.
378. 29:28It used to be a part of the battery
379. 29:30in the way that mental health professionals
380. 29:32would treat those with the pathology concerning homosexuality.
381. 29:37But because of political propaganda,
382. 29:40we no longer wanna have those conversations.
383. 29:43And so then you have the social component
384. 29:47that we have the phenomenon of what's called now,
385. 29:51rapid onset gender dysphoria
386. 29:55that often affects young teenage girls,
387. 29:59that a group of girls all of a sudden decide
388. 30:01they're no longer girls.
389. 30:02How does that happen?
390. 30:04The same way a bunch of girls all of a sudden decide
391. 30:06they wanna wear tennis skirts.
392. 30:09The same way a bunch of girls all of a sudden decide
393. 30:10they wanna wear a certain,
394. 30:13it's called peer pressure and peer influence.
395. 30:16It's not because these girls all of a sudden realize,
396. 30:18well, I was born in the wrong body.
397. 30:19No, they recognize the trends.
398. 30:26And this is a product,
399. 30:30Nobody wants to talk about any of these things.
400. 30:35We want to talk about any of those things.
401. 30:37Can't talk, don't fit the narrative.
402. 30:40Doesn't fit the narrative.
403. 30:42And the thing that is the most grotesque about it
404. 30:45is that these people are more than willing to create casualties.
405. 30:49Do your research, there was a man by the name of Georgie Lukox.
406. 30:51He was a Marxist himself who sought to use
407. 30:55the inundation of children to hypersexualize them
408. 30:59as a means to get people to reject a biblical worldview.
409. 31:03If you get people to reject a biblical worldview,
410. 31:05they're more easily malleable into making massive societal
411. 31:11open change.
412. 31:12Stop me, period that before.
413. 31:13Go and look it up.
414. 31:14He called it cultural terrorism, Georgia Lukacs.
415. 31:19And he did that in a European context.
416. 31:22Yet in our context with the first amendment we change,
417. 31:25the definition who won't describe pornography as obscenity,
418. 31:30it simply is, oh, it's speech.
419. 31:37And you reduce sexual practices
420. 31:39Say, oh no, that's a civil right.
421. 31:41Where? Where?
422. 31:44How do you create a framework for rights at a minimum,
423. 31:47their fluid?
424. 31:53And so what you often have happening,
425. 31:55and I'm not saying this is the exclusive phenomenon,
426. 31:57but we should not be surprised if you have people
427. 32:00that are rejecting God's design for them,
428. 32:02they'll end up saying things like this, quote,
429. 32:05I'm tired of being trans.
430. 32:08I wish I never brainwashed myself.
431. 32:13In quote, I wish I never brainwashed myself.
432. 32:17Remember Chloe Cole's testimony, a 12 year old telling her parents,
433. 32:21oh, I'm a boy.
434. 32:22So let's double mistake to meet up.
435. 32:24Guys, we can keep, you know, tip toeing around it if we want to.
436. 32:31But if we continue to affirm with God declares, not me,
437. 32:36what God declares to be abominable, to be a violation of his order,
438. 32:42to violate what he has created mankind to be.
439. 32:45We should not be surprised at the chaos that flows from that.

451. 34:00Trustworthy Bible.
452. 34:02This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian World View.
453. 34:05The Bible claims to be the inspired Word of God.
454. 34:08Second Peter 1 says,
455. 34:10"'No prophecy was ever made by an act of human will,
456. 34:14but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.'"
457. 34:18God inspired 40 men to write the 66 books of the Bible
458. 34:22over a span of about 1500 years on three continents in three languages.
459. 34:27The original manuscripts no longer exist, so can we trust our modern English translations
460. 34:33to be anything like the original?
461. 34:35The answer is yes.
462. 34:37When comparing the thousands of copies of the Old and New Testaments, the accuracy is
463. 34:41substantively identical.
464. 34:44Here are most recent programs on the trustworthiness of the Bible at TheChristianWorldView.org and
465. 34:49and then tune in this weekend for another topic
466. 34:51that will sharpen your worldview.
467. 34:53Listen to the Christian worldview with David Wheaton,
468. 34:55Saturday mornings at 8 central on American Family Radio.
469. 35:04The Hamilton Quarter podcast and one-minute commentaries
470. 35:07are available at aFR.net.
471. 35:10Back to the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
472. 35:15Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton
473. 35:17the third here.
474. 35:20And one of the major reasons why I did what I just did,
475. 35:23because I know you're not gonna hear it anywhere else.
476. 35:24Nobody wants to have those kinds of conversations,
477. 35:26but when you take something and God has designed,
478. 35:31he is the one who gave us the gift of physical intimacy.
479. 35:36And he also established a parameters for it.
480. 35:38And by his design, he's made it potent,
481. 35:44but the same fire that will warm a home
482. 35:47inside of a fireplace and through the vehicle of a fireplace
483. 35:50with inside the parameters of the fireplace.
484. 35:52If you get that same fire outside of the fireplace,
485. 35:55to burn that same house down. People don't want to have the conversation about sexual devian
486. 36:04CB and the product of hypersexuality in a heterosexual context. It flows, it is flown outwardly from
487. 36:13it. And the other confusion about one's identity and things like that are often directly connected
488. 36:21to it. Laura Perry's testimony, Laura Perry's smolts his testimony that she was hypersexual
489. 36:28as a young lady. And as a result of having repeated with kind of a hookup culture phenomenon,
490. 36:36repeated occurrences and instances, he began to shape and form her perception of herself
491. 36:41and a perception of men opening herself up emotionally, wanting to have love and commitment
492. 36:48and being only to have that ripped away from her. Over time, got her to the place where,
493. 36:53you know, maybe it'll hurt less if I became a man. That's a part of her testimony. Let
494. 37:01let her down the line to where she in her own mind and self perception changed herself
495. 37:07from war to Jake.
496. 37:09And in her view lived as a man for nine years.
497. 37:14Thanks be to God that he saved her from that.
498. 37:20But our society doesn't want to have that conversation.
499. 37:24But it is the conversation that we need to have.
500. 37:30All right, I'll mention this and this is just another one of those things like really, we
501. 37:37actually have a question about that.
502. 37:40Question I'm asking now, is this too much to ask
503. 37:44of those license to drive 40 ton commercial vehicles
504. 37:48that they must be able to read the traffic signs?
505. 37:51Is that too much to ask?
506. 37:55Jeff, Bobby, is that?
507. 37:56If you're gonna drive 40 ton vehicles on our roadways,
508. 38:00you probably need to be able to read the traffic signs.
509. 38:05Secretary of the Department of Transportation,
510. 38:07Scott Duffy hadn't, Shawn Duffy,
511. 38:11I'm sorry, I called him Scott.
512. 38:12Sean Duffy made an announcement today.
513. 38:16It's like, really, you really have to make this announcement?
514. 38:19We're threatening to freeze funds,
515. 38:22department DOT funds, for three states,
516. 38:28because they seem to be willing to violate
517. 38:33the English language requirements
518. 38:35for commercial driver's license holders.
519. 38:37Listen to and watch clip number five, clip five, go.
520. 38:41All of us in America saw what happened in Florida
521. 38:44where we had an individual who we tested this individual after the crash, but no doubt could
522. 38:51not speak English language and could not understand road signs when he was operating that very
523. 38:59deadly rig. And so we at DOT and federal motor carriers, we are not going to tolerate states
524. 39:08that don't comply with the rules that come from this department.
525. 39:13This is not just about saying we have some obscure rule that we want them to comply with,
526. 39:18that truck drivers speak English proficiently.
527. 39:23This is about keeping people safe on the road.
528. 39:30So this is just wild.
529. 39:33This is just wild.
530. 39:35The states of Washington, California, New Mexico, each of them get millions of dollars
531. 39:39a year from the Department of Transportation, 30 million to California, 10 million to Washington
532. 39:45state seven million to New Mexico, but they've said that we're not going to require English
533. 39:51English requirements. And so this follows the tragic crash in Florida where a driver, yeah,
534. 40:05well, I have his name here. Sing, wait, where do I put it? Well, you have an Indian national,
535. 40:20Ajit Singh attempted an illegal U-turn on a Tarrant Turnpike near Fort Pierce in Florida
536. 40:26earlier this month, striking a minivan that killed three people, that killed three people
537. 40:33in Florida.
538. 40:35Well, the day after, and this is the day after this tragic crash occurs, this gentleman,
539. 40:47Mr. Singh boarded a plane in Flue to California.
540. 40:53So I looked into this and it turns out that Mr. Singh crossed the border illegally to
541. 41:00enter the United States of America in 2018.
542. 41:06He applied for his first application for work authorization was denied in 2020 under the
543. 41:11Trump administration, but he later received a work permit under the Biden administration.
544. 41:19He then secured a CDL as a commercial driver's license from Washington state.
545. 41:29And then also got in the CDL in the Washington state, he's got what's called a full term CDL,
546. 41:38a license that federal regulators are now saying that it never should have been issued
547. 41:41to him because of his immigration status.
548. 41:46You should have been issued as a full term CDL if you were an illegal immigrant.
549. 41:52And when he first came into the country, he applied for asylum.
550. 41:55Now listen, I want to be clear.
551. 41:57You know, I don't know this guy personally, but I'm sure he figured, well, I mean, I don't
552. 42:03Hey, people are going into America.
553. 42:05Why don't I go to?
554. 42:07So he makes his way to Mexico somehow.
555. 42:10And he crosses the southern border,
556. 42:13just like a bunch of other people have done.
557. 42:15So I'm not, you know, and I understand if you live in a country that's horrific,
558. 42:21life is good in America.
559. 42:23And this is why I get so upset at the regressives and saying that,
560. 42:25oh, America is the worst place in the world.
561. 42:27But yeah, all you might are just come here.
562. 42:29America is horrible for minorities, but more minorities come.
563. 42:34Like you people are liars, man.
564. 42:36You hate me both at the same time.
565. 42:38Either America is horrible or it's great.
566. 42:40You can't be bold.
567. 42:41You know, anyway, so I'm not throwing shade on him for that.
568. 42:45Personally, why understand that as a husband and a father want to
569. 42:49provide for my family.
570. 42:50And at the same time on American, you can't break our laws
571. 42:54coming into our country.
572. 42:55But what occurs when they break our laws to enter our country,
573. 42:58you have states like Washington that will say,
574. 43:00Hey, come on up here to the Pacific Northwest Pacific Northwest though you might be illegal
575. 43:06We'll make sure you get a CDL. Then he got a CDL also, but a different type
576. 43:14This one in California. He got a limited term CDL commercial driver's license in this state of California, okay?
577. 43:23so
578. 43:25You want to talk about too little too late after the crash
579. 43:32single-subject it to
580. 43:34assessment by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
581. 43:39And would that assessment include an English proficiency test and road sign skill test.
582. 43:46In the English proficiency test, Mr. Singh, who by the way had to have an interpreter in all of his court appearances,
583. 43:54because he doesn't speak English.
584. 43:58Certainly, not proficiently, Mr. Singh failed badly,
585. 44:08Answering only one sixth of the questions in the English proficiency test correctly.
586. 44:13Then, when it came to...
587. 44:15And by the way, the English proficiency test, he had to answer verbally.
588. 44:21Okay.
589. 44:22Then when it came to the road sign skill test,
590. 44:26he only got 25% of the traffic signs.
591. 44:28Right.
592. 44:30How are you driving a CDL?
593. 44:32A 40-ton truck?
594. 44:38And you can't even read the street signs.
595. 44:42It just immediately makes you wonder when he has, when he does this illegal turn near the
596. 44:47four, near Fort Pierce on the Florida turnpike, did he know that was an illegal left, an illegal
597. 44:51turn, an illegal you turn?
598. 44:53Did he see the sign that said no you turn?
599. 44:58And it just, it boggles my mind that the states of California and Washington and New
600. 45:05Mexico when he meeting and say, Hey, you know what, we, we should make sure people can read
601. 45:10this traffic signs and can speak English before they get a CDL. How do you give a
602. 45:17man a CDL who can't speak English? How do you give a man a CDL? Who can't read
603. 45:24traffic signs? And so now you have the families of these three people in Florida,
604. 45:31the family members are dead, you have the Department of Transportation saying,
605. 45:49guys, y'all have to abide by our English language requirements and the state's
606. 45:54going, no, we don't. And then the Department of Transportation has to say, I guess we're
607. 46:00going to have to withhold funds from you guys until you do. This is sad, man. This is sad.
608. 46:08This is, this is sad. This is sad. You cannot, cannot, cannot make this stuff up. Like that's,
609. 46:27that's where we are. You're going to fight so hard for the illegal aliens. You're going
610. 46:31say, you know, we're going to keep giving CDLs to people who might not be
611. 46:34able to speak English. You know, we hate Donald Trump. Is that it? We hate Trump so
612. 46:40much that we're gonna do that. So you will in the jeopardize the way with all of
613. 46:43other people who are driving on the roadways. It's a wild man. I'm gonna move on. We
614. 46:57have the report thus far from January 1st to August 10th of 2025, concerned in
615. 47:05Christian persecution and Nigeria in particular. And according to this report,
616. 47:09a record number of 7,087 Nigerian Christians have been killed in that time period.
617. 47:17Just in that eight month and nine day time period in 2025.
618. 47:23And in an additional 7,800 people have been abducted during that same time period.
619. 47:31Here's a brief excerpt on this report from Truth Nigeria's Mike O'Day James.
620. 47:35It's clip number three, clip three, go.
621. 47:38The report that says over 7,000 Nigerians have been massacred since the beginning of January 2025 is accurate, if not under stating the fact.
622. 47:51The fact is that people are dying, they are being killed by Fulani ethnic militia and Boko Haram and other jihadi groups.
623. 48:00Now, and most of the people being killed over 90% of them are pre-tanced Nigerians from
624. 48:08Plattu, from Benway, from southern Kabuna, from Taraba, and parts of Nasser al-Aestit.
625. 48:21I continue to bring information like this to our audience here.
626. 48:28For one primary reason and a host of additional reasons, that members of the eternal family
627. 48:35God are members of my family. And the scripture says that we ought to rejoice with those who rejoice
628. 48:43in the Mormon with those who mourn, particularly within the family of God. And I want the family
629. 48:52of God in our country to be aware that this type of suffering is happening right now.
630. 49:03This is not merely something that has happened in the past. I talked quite a bit about the persecution
631. 49:11that the church endured in the first century under Nero and Rome and persecution that really
632. 49:19continued up until Constantine because it's very easy for us in our context.
633. 49:31And make no mistake about it, we have issues in our own country that we're facing.
634. 49:35I do believe some of the things that we're experiencing are kind of the beginnings of
635. 49:41the types of persecution overtly and physically that are happening in other places in the world.
636. 49:46But there should be a connected between believers here and believers all over the world in terms of recognizing that we're members of the eternal family of God.
637. 49:56And it is heartbreaking to recognize, as Mr. James said, the majority of this carnage has come as a result of Islamic terrorism in Nigeria.
638. 50:10Boko Haram, the Fulani, while we on our own continent and our own nation.
639. 50:21We have cities like Dearborn and others.
640. 50:28I would encourage us all to be first and foremost students of scripture, but also students
641. 50:32of history.
642. 50:33History not only repeats itself, it often rhymes.
