$2 million plus. It seems that the more the likes of Raelene Castle, Go Fund Me, Peter Beattie, Peter FitzSimons, the ANZ bank and Peter van Onselen rage against freedom of speech, the more support Folau gets. Even Gillian Triggs supports him. Don't hear the leftists saying anything about Ms. Triggs now.

This entire situation is very unfortunate and people
are being taken for a ride.

Raelene Castle made it quite clear to Israel Folau
where the line was drawn on his behaviour. His
previous breaches of Rugby Australia's Code of
Coduct were fully explained to him. He was given
several warnings and letters detailing the expectations
of his social media behaviour. He continued to break
all the rules. As Ms Castle has stated - Israel Folau was
very clear where the line was. He chose to ignore it.

Now, he's suing for, wrong treatment?
And if he succeeds the sum is given at being $10 million
from Rugby Australia. Plus the cost of his legal fees will
not be paid by him but by the donations he's receiving.

And all this supposedly in the name of "religious freedom.?"

The mind boggles.

We have very limited legal restrictions on speech.
Attacks on religion and sexuality are not included.
Perhaps this case will be an invitation for a review?

Perhaps Church Leaders could also do their job responsibly
and tell
us all, what was God's plan for Gay people?

Perhaps, the Bible translations from Greek to English just
may not be correct - or at the very least should be
taken in context?

There's a lot in the Bible about punishing people for doing
pretty commonplace things today - like not touching pigskin
on a Sunday (that would knock out playing sport?), disobeying
your parents, not being a virgin on your wedding night,
and so on. When does advocating for such biblical ethics
tip over into being acceptable in our lives today?

Anyway, as someone wrote on the web - Öne of the perks
of being an atheist is that you get to decide how to
be a good and loving human all by yourself.
If you find yourself preaching bigotry, intolerance or
hatred - it's all on you. You can't say you read it in
a book."

The famous quote

(1Co 6:9) Do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor abusers, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

(1Co 6:11) And such were some of you. But you are washed, but you are sanctified, but you are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

and such were some of you. Yep just like their are multitudes who have turned and say such was I. Many have stopped adultery, lying, fornicating, homosexuality, abusing etc etc. They have been washed of their sin by a merciful loving God. Thats not hate, that is love.

Dear runner,

Jesus clearly says those who divorce and marry again are living a life of adultery, which by the verses you have provided means they will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

I ask again, are the divorced people within your flock cognisant of this and do you go out of your way to point out their sinning as you would a gay person?
