Very nice video. Will share with my students in the Theologies from the Margins and in the Secularisms/Atheisms class I teach.

[@mwesch]

Those sound like super interesting classes. Do you have your syllabi online where I can check them out?

Thank you sir for sharing this video. I see how God's word had change our people's lives from darkness to light. PNG is a Christian country and we are proud of that. We hope to reach the world with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Sewing seeds of confusion in God’s church. Are you sure that your “ expertise“ is the final word? Careful my friend, you will be held accountable for your actions, just as we all will be.

[@mwesch]

Can you elaborate? What are you talking about?

Great video. I just got back from 6 weeks in India doing a case study on the Hindu pilgrimage trail at Yamunotri, where the river goddess Yamuna "lives." I am working on the video and images right now...from a human geographer's perspective.

[@mwesch]

That sounds great. I look forward to seeing it and sharing it with my world religions class.

There are only two categories of people who can enter the Kingdom of God, a child and a fool. Discuss. Quote scriptures in support.

Just beautiful

It is time for you to follow the One True Living God YHWH

[@anessafinessa1798]

Wow this video was beautiful. Definitely eye opening and made me view religion differently. I had a good cry! Thank you for sharing.

Hi, the 7th day Adventists deny the existence of hell, that's a false doctrine because our Lord and Savior came to earth and payed on the cross for our sins so we don't have to go to hell! Please thank HIM for this and believe in HIS resurrection on the 3rd day!!! There is no forgiveness of sins without JESUS, if you die in your sins you will go to hell. Please listen to real theolgians like Dr. John Ankerberg. Blessings from AB

​@@albertafarmer8638they are annihilationists. i don't follow their doctrines but a broken clock is right twice a day. jesus took punishments to substitute what we deserve, and said "it is finished" and died on the cross. he is not suffering in a lake of fire right now for us and won't be in hell for the rest of eternity for us. romans 6:23 "the wages of sin is death", john 3:16 "whoever may believe in him shall not >perisheverlasting life

Thank you very much for sharing it. Truly inspiring. Looking forward to watching more videos.

Amazing video. I’m teaching this week at my little house church about how God is light. I’m going to use this video. Thank you for sharing

[@mwesch]

That's awesome. The idea of God as light really resonates with me, and with my friends in New Guinea. I would have to find the quote but I think CS Lewis talks about this somewhere.

[@oleandereverlyyy]

I’m glad you did

God bless these people. I watched documentaries on these tribes like a decade ago. They were constantly at war, constant famine, the men would smoke cigarettes while the women literally did ALL the work. Thank God that his Word and Spirit was able to come to these people and help them. I feel so bad that the guy making this video hasn't "figured it out" yet. He doesn't look young. Eternity is a long time, and too much is at stake to be playing this..... "All spiritualities, one mountain different paths, new agey" bull crap
