Too many unnecessary laws

Columnists, Op-Ed, Opinion, Politics / aframnews

America, it is impossible to legislate personal morality, because the law is no more just than those who are responsible for the administration of the law (s). Only the Holy Spirit (TRUTH) can free us from sin: lying, stealing, and killing. Sin is sin, and there are no little or big sins. As an American citizen you are privileged and entitled to experience all of the privileges/blessings of citizenship. Even though there have always been some individuals who have never embraced the spiritual/moral tenets of The Preamble and the U. S. constitution (Cain’s Children). The Holy Spirit frees US from sin and eternal condemnation, and: “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” (Romans 8: 1-4). Free-will is a spiritual principle of GOD, and no man or legal system can destroy a principle of God. This is why Roe V. Wade was an unnecessary law, and no male should seek to morally regulate a woman’s body. There are no laws regulating the pleasure principle of the bodies of males. The Jewish people had (613) Hebraic manmade laws and they could not abide by their own laws created for themselves. Moses had a spiritual encounter with God on Mount Sinai, and God reduced the (613) manmade laws to the Ten (spiritual) Commandments; even though sin waxed exceedingly. Jesus reduced the Ten to Two, and they cannot live by the TWO GREAT COMMANDMENTS. God always gives the word (TRUTH), and this is why we have had tremendous calamities such as: Noah and the Ark, Sodom and Gomorrah, the battle of Jericho, and […]

Political Party Base Politics

Columnists, Op-Ed, Opinion, Politics / aframnews

It is extremely difficult for Americans to hold a positive view of the future because of “Base Politics.” When a political party is entrenched in its own selfish mindset; not democracy, but autocracy America has a BIG, BIG GOVERNANCE PROBLEM. When the GOP will not discipline its own members; but will allow members to publicly display ungodly behaviors in the citadel of democracy (The Capitol), America will have a BIG TROUBLE. To add insult to injury the GOP has no democratic policy objectives that are universally oriented for the people, by the people, and of the people. Moreover, when Christian Right Evangelicals and White Nationalist Groups use the political tools of gerrymandering and restricted voting procedures/laws seeking to deny minorities their Civil Rights then democracy is in big trouble. America you cannot change ungodly mindsets that are oriented toward White Privilege exclusion. Moreover, from previous experiences we know: “that you cannot convince a fool against his will,” because: “Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour.” America, we cannot change the mindset of Christian Right Evangelicals, The GOP, and White Nationalist Groups, because they are who they are, what they are, and will remain so until they come into the light of the TRUTH, because: “If we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” The Democratic Party has too many voices speaking. Too many voices speaking at the same time creates confusion. God is not the author of confusion, but peace. Democratic Party Officials and Members are listening to too many News Commentators rather than listening to Official Party Leadership. News commentators sensationalize for ratings (salaries). Everyone is not an official elected leader in the Democratic Party; but everyone’s voice should be heard, not necessarily acted upon. Democrats need to speak boldly and with spiritual clarity to all Americans who believe in democracy, and presently it appears as though that’s only Democrats. President Biden should speak universally to political leaders of all persuasions

Normalizing abnormality

Columnists, Commentary, Editorial, Featured, Op-Ed, Opinion, Politics / aframnews

Prostituting the truth is abnormality to the nth degree, because when individuals prostitute the truth they normalize abnormality and deviancy (sin). Christian Right Evangelicals, The GOP and White Nationalists Groups have become skilled professionals at normalizing the abnormal (lies, exclusion and sin) for White Privilege, because they desire something for nothing. Prostituting the truth is prostituting one’s self, and the devil has become the master of your being. Such individuals will do any and everything abnormal; even destroy the cornerstone of democracy (The Vote) by attempting to make the votes of minorities null and void, because of skin-color. Question: are Senators Manchin and Sinema wolves in sheep clothing? American democracy hangs in the balance on the answer to this question, because when (48) out of (50) Senators are in agreement on democratic principles, policies and programs, and ungodly thinking obstructs the principle of majority rule something is drastically and radically wrong! Democracy oriented Americans; we need to get to the bottom of this issue quick and in a hurry before it is too late, because the flaw in American democracy has always been: White Privilege/White Supremacy. No God conscience individuals are always asking the question: “what’s in it for me?” (Hebrews 11: 6) provides us with the answer: “Without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” That’s what in it for you, because individuals do not live forever. Believing that God exists is only the beginning; even devils believe that God exists. God will not settle for mere acknowledgement of his existence. God desires your faith and personal relationship with him, because: “If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: but if we walk in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” Christian Right Evangelicals cease lying to yourself in your ungodly attempt to make wrong, right by normalizing abnormality, because the Bible declares: “Let

The System

Columnists, Commentary, Editorial, Opinion, Politics / aframnews

Question: is something better than nothing? Compared to what is the question of questions? The system works for the system, and the system is influenced by White Privilege on both sides of the isle. The only way the federal government can effectively work for all Americans is that all Americans are included regardless of race, creed or religion. Racism is a spiritual sickness. It exits on both sides of the political aisle, and penicillin is not the cure. The USA needs a ”come to Jesus moment”, because: “But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved.” Only GOD can save US from US! Unfortunately, there was no penalty exacted upon The Southern Confederacy for withdrawing from the Union, and this why we have had a perpetual Civil War resulting in the events of January 6th, 2021. Sadly, once again we had American Trumpism (The Big Lie) fighting against American Democracy. America, we need a “National Reconciliation Spiritual Moment” that is grounded in democracy, because: “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” To say and do nothing is evil, because: “The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.” Sadly, it is this same Dixiecrat Mentality which caused Southern States to withdraw from the Union and is currently creating governance confusion in America’s socio-economic-political structure (Democracy). America, know this: “There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the Lord.” President Lincoln knew that “A nation divided against itself cannot stand”; even though, Vice President Johnson was a Southern Dixiecrat he believed in the Lincoln Doctrine. Christian Right Evangelicals, The GOP and White Nationalists Groups and many Democrat Sympathizers take heed: “Righteousness exaltheth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.” White Privilege oriented Whites (military-industrial-international-complex) are willing to spend trillions of dollars on warfare (killing), but not willing to spend a similar amount helping

Socio-economic pathology in America

Columnists, Commentary, Editorial, Featured, Op-Ed, Opinion / aframnews

Politics in American society is no longer about public service and servant leadership but has become selfish self-service. Sadly, the political culture of The GOP has devolved into Southern Dixiecrat Autocracy. This sad state of political affairs has taken American society to the other side of fear of power sharing; looking for something for nothing, White Privilege. Too many Americans have forgotten what is ultimately important in any society; especially a democratic society! Individuals can acquire money; even acquire a powerful position of leadership authority, but it means absolutely nothing without a personal relationship with GOD (TRUTH). Therefore, in all of you’re getting: “Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee. Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and in all thy getting get understanding.” Hence, without a personal relationship with God (TRUTH); individuals are capable of doing any and everything under the sun. Thus, such individuals should to go to the nearest police station, and vehemently request to be locked-up, because I am insane and capable of doing anything. Evidently our polarized two-party-system apparently has elected too many greedy pathological individuals who have no God conscience to high political offices, and now we are reaping the whirlwind. Apparently, these individuals think that they are going to live forever! Shame, shame on Christian Right Evangelicals and The GOP (The Party of Abraham Lincoln), because they should know better, and if you know better you ought to do better. Likewise, in the Democratic Party one or two self-serving individuals is one too many, because we all know that one bad apple can spoil the entire barrel. Life is about priority ordering. Priorities are values. Ultimately, what individuals place their hope and trust in is an expression of their faith. Thus, hope is an expression of comfort, expectation, confidence and trust. This is why godly Americans can hope that White Privilege oriented Americans who are lost in selfishness and self-service realize the error of their ways, and cease looking

What Is Racial Identity?

Columnists, Commentary, Editorial, News, Op-Ed, Opinion / aframnews

Is racial identity simply about skin-tone? Individuals who profess Christianity ought to know that it has nothing to do with their skin-tone, but everything to do with their heart and mind-set. However, on Sunday mornings at the eleven o’clock worship hour is the most segregated hour in American society. The question is why is this reality? We worship the same GOD, and He created all nations out of one blood. There are some Black individuals in high places that think like White individuals? And, we all know who they are? If they think White obviously they must act White. The Bible makes it spiritually clear: “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.” For example, we know that one size does not fit all individuals or all situations; especially in our educational institutions. Blacks have been thrown under the bus and kicked to the curb since 1619, and now the system expects Black children to be able to compete academically with White children. This is impossible and it has nothing whatsoever to do with skin-tone and racial identity, but everything to do with access to opportunities. Racial identity does not exist in the consciousness of God (mind-set), and God is the creator of all things. Why then does racial identity exist within the consciousness of human beings; especially with Christian Right Evangelicals, GOP, and White Nationalists Groups? God created all nations out of one-blood, and human beings created cultural differences. Racial identity is not biology, but sociology. More importantly, “Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ: that everyone may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.” The socio-economic-business of racial identity is a sinful pandemic that has caused untold human suffering: slavery, unfair/unjust murders and imprisonment by law enforcement constabularies, miss-education, and voter discrimination, employment discrimination, housing discrimination and health/well-being discrimination, and so on.

Useful Idiots

Columnists, Commentary, Editorial, Op-Ed, Opinion, Politics / aframnews

For ungodly reasons too many Americans are losing their ability to critically think and analyze. Consequently, these individuals are becoming useful idiots who allow others to do their thinking, and that’s a dangerous proposition. God has spiritually admonished all individuals to not allow confused-sinful minds to make you a Useful Idiot, because: “If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed, and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” The loss of critical thinking skills engenders emotional-irrationality as well as the desire to possess undeserved external power. Question: is this why the GOP has lost its way (moral compass)? Power for the sake of power is insanity to the nth degree! Historically, there have been numerous religious useful idiots. For example, Adam and Eve’s disobedience of God’s spiritual command. Cain’s killing of his brother Abel: “Am I my brother’s keeper?” Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus Christ with an ungodly kiss on the cheek for thirty pieces of silver. Delilah’s betrayal of Sampson for money and power by opening up a barbershop, and giving Sampson an ungodly haircut, and of course, Sampson’s betrayal of God and himself by walking by sight, and not FAITH. Modern day Useful Idiots: (a) Benedict Arnold who betrayed America during the Revolutionary War, (b) General Michael Flynn who betrayed America for a Russian Oligarch, power, money and misguided loyalty to a want-to-be-dictator (POTUS #45). And, POTUS #45 who sought to destroy American democracy for power and self-aggrandizement on January 6. The greatest power in the world is the power that exists within individuals (GOD/TRUTH), and their ability to resist the ungodly impulses of becoming a Useful Idiot. America, if we can truthfully and honestly talk about Biblical characters who were Useful Idiots, because of lies and sin why then can’t we study and spiritually understand the original sin of America (Critical Race Theory)? Christian Right Evangelicals have become Useful Idiots for the promotion of White Privilege for other Useful Idiots who substitute one sin for another sin across Christian Pulpits. Sin is sin, and God hates sin. There is

White Privilege Religion

#NNPA BlackPress, Columnists, Commentary, Editorial, Opinion / aframnews

Bobby E. Mills, PhD Christian Right Evangelicals know this: “Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and keep himself unspotted from the world.” Thus, when individuals give to the hopeless, they demonstrate spiritually and religiously what it really means to serve others. In order to keep ourselves unspotted from the world, we need to spiritually commit ourselves to the ethical moral system of Jesus Christ; not the world’s monetary system, which in turn, is based upon money, power and sex (pleasure): PMS. True Christian faith means absolutely nothing if individuals are contaminated with the external value system of PMS. Racism is not a religion and should never be. America, know this: God is keeping a record, and He is checking it twice, and in the end, He knows who has been faithful, naughty or nice, because great is thy faithfulness O’Lord unto US. Jesus was faithful to the will of God unto death. Something very, very sinfully sick is occurring in American society, and penicillin is not the cure. White Privilege Vigilantism has taken root in American society. Too many individuals are attempting to become their own law enforcement agency, and at the same time his/her own worst enemy seeking to create an autocracy for White Privilege. Russia has an all-White autocratic governmental system, and Whites are fighting Whites. Question: what makes White Privilege oriented Americans think that an all-White autocratic system in America would not produce the same results; whereby Whites would be fighting each other for power, privilege, pleasure, and money? Russians are fighting each other and no permanent-tan minorities are involved! Moreover, the democratic tenets of the constitution are under attack and, tyranny is religiously celebrated and advocated; even by Christian Right Evangelicals. In fact, Christian Right Evangelicals have been referred to by many names: the moral majority, the Tea Party, and the party of family values. This question must be asked, because of the hypocrisy of Christian Right Evangelicals: what’s in a name? They have never lived-up to the spiritual-moral tenets of their

The Mendacity of the GOP

Columnists, Commentary, Editorial, Opinion, Politics / aframnews

Christian Right Evangelicals, GOP, and White Nationalists stand for nothing righteous, and everything unrighteous. The very mendacity of the GOP to morally question the Biden Administration’s disengagement from a twenty year “messy” war in Afghanistan after never holding former President Trump accountable for any action or in action. America does have a formal check and balance system that the Founders instituted in our democratic processes to guard against governmental corruption. Moreover, we do not need to discuss the impeachment procedures and processes or the provable evidence against President Trump. Nor do we need to discuss the number of corrupt Trump officials who were indicted, convicted, and sentenced to jail. Or the number of elected GOP officials who supported the BIG LIE and may have legal complicity in the January 6th, 2021 insurrection. Now, the GOP is huffing and puffing concerning America’s withdrawal from Afghanistan seeking to create a political issue; where there is no issue in order to reposition their “non-policy” oriented party for the mid-term elections. America, if this is not the essence of immoral “mendacity,” then what is? Even more so, they have openly begun to sublimely change the GOP to the White Privilege (Nationalists) Party and in so doing, establish an autocracy by destroying democracy. Sadly, Christian Right Evangelicals are wholeheartedly supporting this process religiously by saying Lord, Lord, and running with the devil. America, know this religion that is based upon culture and man-made “isms” rather than a search for God (TRUTH) is confusion, not Judaea-Christianity. The GOP is seeking to make the carnal mind normality, and legalize all things of man; which in turn, is not of GOD. Scripture states: “For to be carnal minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.” (Romans 8: 6-8). Good soldiers are not afraid to suffer, and they will always hold high the blood-stained banner of Jesus Christ, because: “No man that

Help the Helper

Columnists, Commentary, Editorial, Featured, Opinion / aframnews

Nothing is impossible for God, because if God is carrying you on his back then why drag your feet in sin. God is an ever-present help, and if He does not come when you think that you need him the most, He is always on time. God is an on-time God, not a sometime God. Martha asked, “Jesus if you had been here, then my brother, Lazarus, would not have died.” Jesus spiritually comforted Martha by declaring: “Thy brother shall rise again”. Martha replied, “I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.” Then, Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection, and the life, he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?” Jesus said, “Lazarus Come Forth”! Without rules and laws human beings are only another form of animal life. God is the answer, not man or guns, harsh words, evil deeds, violence, Christian Right Evangelicals, Politicians or White Nationalists. What every human being needs is to know and have a personal-relationship with the Lawgiver: GOD. Even when human beings sin against God, self and others, God makes provisions for the forgiveness of their sins and the healing their land: “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” For over twenty years America helped Afghanistan attempt to overcome the leadership influences of the Taliban on their society, and it was all to no avail. Hence, “Can two walk together, except they be agreed?” (Amos 3: 3). Sin separates individuals from God as well as from each other. God desires US to have things when we are ready to receive them. Thus, individuals must have a personal relationship with God, in order to be blessed by God. God is life, and: “Whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that
