He's awesome right! 😊

That's right a lot have the gospel with no love jus a religious spirit

​@@dannybishop324which isn't really the gospel - right?

Haha yes was pretty funny! 😅

Exactly 💯. Frank said we have to be different Christians in different countries, this is totally wrong. As you said the Old is dead and we are born again. We aren't a Dutch Christian or Moari Christian - we are a Christian that just happened to be Dutch or Moari.

Preach 🙌

Keep stressing on the word "partners". He's in conflict with himself talking about the country's identity, yet pushing the idea of "partnership" and having split sovereignty. How is a treaty a theological document? Why elevate a treaty to the level of God's word?

@@tigasnapogipa I agree, We as Christians do not live under treaties, we live within covenant. The other thing is as believer we need to bring all things into the light. again, the very purpose of David's bill is to start the conversation between all parties. Understanding today there are many people groups sitting at the table and under democracy every person is allowed a voice at the table. This conversation seems to be limited to two parties and the conversation behind closed doors.

Kapai my brother, that's right. Kingdom culture over culture of the flesh

Yes!🙏

💯💯💯

Kingdom culture is spiritually woven into all indigenous culture just like a harakeke. Ko Ihu Karaiti Te kīngi nui mā taku māoritanga e whakamoemiti Te Ariki nui a Ihu Karaiti

Our tipuna were converted based on the gospel however this generation of Māori such as myself has come to a deeper understanding that our God given culture 'māori' has a deeper connection to us as Māori who love Yeshua Te kīngi nui

So all the illegally confiscated land, the land that should b returned according 2 pakeha law & the treaty, the Maori that were wrongfully put 2 death falsely accussed of crimes so pakeha cld steal their land, does that come under equality? According 2 pakeha law these grivences shld b addressed & settled. But as u knw most were swept under the carpet neva 2c the light of day! Compared 2 wot is actually there, the government didnt settle squat! More recently n Te Waipounamu we c the introduction of another bs law where Maori hav 2 prove they hav lived on the land n the area or on the foreshore 4 at least 150 yrs 2 hav any viable claim or ryts. Haha. Laws were put n place 2 steal our land, destroy our language & culture! Yor ryt. We need 2b unified. But dnt take away wot little we hav left under the guise of evry1 nds 2b treated equally. Maori nd 2b treated equally! We r meant 2b equal partners with equal say n the goverance of Aotearoa. Why? As u hav mentioned, because WE Maori r Tangata whenua. The indeginous people of this land who NEVER surrendered their sovreignty! Being treated equally does not mean Maori relinquish wot little rights we hav left 2 make the rest feel equal. A hell no!! God is the Creator of treaties, vows, Covenants, of honourable agreements. Do u believe the Crown, the government hav honoured the treaty? Yeah. I thort so.

Te Kani A Takirau (Maori Sovereign) Highest Authority in Maoriland Aotearoa-New Zealand. (Never Signed the Treaty of Waitangi) & Queen Victoria (British Sovereign) Q: Did she Sign the Treaty of Waitangi? 1840 Treaty of Waitangi Signed by; Some Maori Chiefs (Not all) & Some British Governers Now, some Pakeha's and MP's want to consider making NZ a Republic? Q: On what Authority do you have? If it be true, that both Paramount Ariki Chief and King Te Kani A Takirau and Queen Victoria both did not Sign the Treaty of Waitangi? Since when does an evil gentile system from British governors liars and thieve's decide what's best for 'The Land of the Long White Cloud.? Coming up to 2024, it's Time nothing but the TRUTH be told and everything tidied up in this nation. The NZFirst and Act Party's need to apologize to the Maori Nation for both Defamation of the Nation and using Deception by trying to throw the Maori Nation under the bus and trampling on the "MANA!" of the Natives of NZ. Then disqualify themselves and get out of Parliment and leave Prime Minister Chris Luxon to serve GOD and Aotearoa-New Zealand. God wants to sweep Aotearoa-New Zealand clean, so that means He wants no dividing walls. He wants UNITY (But not at the cost of robbing Maori Nation of Identity, Land, Natural Resources and Wealth, Unborn Babies, Youth dying by Suicides, Discrimination from Police against Maori - (Keep guns out of the hands of Racist Police Officers who hate Maori). There's more for conversation for moving forward positively. It Is Written; The Fear of GOD is the Beginning of WISDOM

Arohanui Gilbert, Arohanui Erina ❤ Praying for peace for our people and this nation. Its a beautiful thing when we can walk side by side without prejudice just like Jesus saw no prejudice. My hope is for you to be built up, not torn down. This is our temporary home, until the return of the light of the world.

A very sad reality is coming into this discussion. Even though our history is clear, Christianity and the ethics that form a Christian society had a huge impact on our past it appears not so much today. Rather, today, we see a nation that is largely becoming anti-Christian and in so many way is losing many of those fundermental principles that are hugely influenced by the principles of loving, caring, serving and helping our fellow man, no matter what ethnic origin we may be. At the same time, we see very strong, angry, and venomous rhetoric from the TePati Maori party, and surely, this is not what we normally expect to see from respected Maori eldership and leadership. As an average middle-aged European Kiwi, I as... does this really represent the thoughts of the greater Maori population? And where is any true and honourable statesmenship like or diplomacy coming from our halls of power. Then I see an almost threatening stance being shown with the Maori independent flags flaunted in some churches on a Sunday morni. A time which is separated for the sacred worship and honour of God, but has the effect of introducing feelings of insecurity for some of us in a place that should be the most sacred and secure places, a refuge for all mankind. This looks like a truly vulnerable situation to our democracy indeed. My thoughts are, if not handled, carefully this could threaten the stability of us as a nation. We can not re-write history if, in fact, wrongs have been made. But we need to take good care of how this journey and discussion plays out. We as a Christian church need to tread very carefully. Churches must not become a place of division and distention but rather that refuge where we can shelter a while and remember the hope and purpose that we all get to share this planet for a while. We must be seen as Salt & Light, the seasoning of a God of love, relationship, forgiveness, and hope. As a very multicultural society and church, let's strive to embrace each other with a careful understanding and pray for our leaders...ALL our leaders that through this journey, that the message of hope that is the gospel would bring us as a nation to a point and way for a peaceful and caring society together, no matter what our ethnicity or culture.... Pray

​@@gilberthorne4192 The treaty Principles Bill does not take Māori property rights or rights away that are already exist today under settled treaty of Waitangi tribunal. No one is taking those rights away. Of course there are still claims to be settled. The purpose of the bill is to ensure equality for everyone, whether you are Indian, Māori, Samoan, Nigerian, or Scottish. We are a very multiple cultural country now especially considered 30% of our population have only arrived here in the last 25 years (mainly from Asia). So that no one is denied something because of race. Right now are many Government services that should be based on economic need are instead based on race. My special needs children have been denied access to special education help from the Ministry of Education that they would have got if they were Māori. And this is actually not a new thing, 25 years ago when I was leaving school I choose not to go to University because of the financial barriers. My adopted sister didn't face those barriers because we is half Māori. So as a result she is significantly better off then me. The same situation exist in the Public health care system. My health hasn't been that well that great and so the GP would like me to have a colonoscopy to see if there are any cancer, however I am not allowed one because they are only available to Māori and Pacific Islanders. So the health system is saying their lives are more imported then mine. That used to be called racist. Those are the issues the bill is meant to address. What happened to Māori was terrible, it was horrible. The same as what happen to many indigenous peoples around the world when colonised. But this has been human history for all time, people are conquered and lose and replaced. It is human history. Things have to be view through the lense of the history of the time. It was God’s favour that Māori were colonised by the British in the mid 18th Century and not by another European power or in an earlier time, otherwise Māori probably wouldn’t even have a treaty settlement process and certainly wouldn’t make up almost around a 6th of the population instead not even more than a few percent points like many other indigenous people (American Indians in both South and North America and even Australia.) We in the 2nd part of the 20th century and now into 21st have a different view about right and wrong. Just look at how far Māori have come! But equality has been achieved. So I ask you, what do you think should happen? How can we go forward? You need to be a realist though. You need to think of the consequences. We are in a globalised economy and our survival depends on free market trade both within our nation and without. Without a free market economy (with sensible guard rail regulation) in a fair and free democracy where property right we cannot be a prosperous nation. If our nation is not prosperous everyone loses especially Māori. Just look overseas, there are plenty of bad examples out there. When Zimbabwe start confiscating all the white land owners farms it wasn’t just the white people escaping the country it was also many many black people, it also started the a famine as farming is actually a skilled trade and so the skill shortage couldn’t be replaced. The same thing is happening now in South Africa. So what do you think we should do? What is your solution? Genuinely interested.

There wasn't no violence, there certainly wasn't very much. But there were videos of X from Masterton where their was so violence towards someone holding a New Zealand flag. But in Wellington as far as I know there was no violence.

@@TimE-er1kn I'm specifically talking of the Protest in wellington 20/11/24. With over 40 thousand people in attendance especially Maori it was a miracle there was no violence.

@@TimE-er1kn And that incident in Masterton was not violence from the protesters but rather from the polices end.

@@TawhaiSinclair agree with you.

@@TawhaiSinclair the incident in Masterton with the videos I saw there was violence from some protestors towards another Māori individual in a man up tee shirt waving a New Zealand flag. He was assaults and had a flag taken off him. I have not seen the moment where he was arrested.

​@@LeeRaela-w3mthanks for the recommendation.

yeap. THat's because too many christians in this nation have to much of themselves in the "world" and not in the kingdom. They listen and believe what the news media says. What they don't realise is the media (over 90% according research) is left leaning. The left in this country hates christianity. So christians are allowing their views of over christians to be influenced by people that hate christians.

She doesn't. She sounds like a woman

Australian women have a lower pitch on average than the rest of the world
