Listening this morning, alan Jones interviewing israel folou who is raising 3 million dollars from public donations for his legal fees against rugby Australia for unfair dismissal. This morning Israel said his fight is because of his strong Faith , beliefs in the bible that has made him who he is today. Now personally ive nothing against him what so ever, but he mentions to jones very strongly the importance of the bible again on which he lives by , which he comes to as we all know his public condemnation for many sinners who eventually will end up in hell . Can those out there who is familiar with the bible tell me if Israel is 100% correct to pass judgement based on his beliefs ? Here is one quote , but is there another side ?

Why use His when he can use yours Kendoza! Nothing is actually ours anyway. It all belongs to God! "The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof"
So it’s also ok for radical Muslim’s to say that we are infidels and kill christians and they have 17 virgins when they blow themselves up.They really believe in that too!!!
Well this is what Israel's name sake supposedly said:
Numbers 21:2-3 And Israel vowed a vow unto the Lord, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities. And the Lord hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities:
However, Joshua's really the one you don't want to cross...
Joshua 6:21 And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.
That's even more hard core than Daenerys and her dragon. She at least let the white horse live.
This ladies and gentlemen is what happens when you take a single verse or passage out of the context in which it was written.
Allahu Akbar
Politics and religion Phhf a Big No No from me to much shit and aguments .I'm a peace loving guy
Go Izzy, hope he takes Ralene to the cleaners and kicks her arse back across the ditch
I hope people have better sence in them than to fund Izzy Folau in order to make more millions. He's a hater. I don't care how people try to spin it. Yeah, you're free to say what you like but there are consequences to free speech sometimes .
There are little kids and grown ups without the financial means in hospitals who are fighting for their life. Money donated to them by the public would be indeed God's work. Praise be to those who help to finance the fight against disease for they are truly God's creations.
I'm Greek Orthodox and I'm lucky enough to have a great parish priest who does tons for charity and is open-minded. I once asked him about gay people, if he accepts them in his church. His response was "I accept the hypocrits, adulterers, fornicators, thieves and even convicted murderers. Why wouldn't I accept gay people? Are they sinning more than the others? I don't agree with their way of life but there are gay people that give to their community and support my causes. Only God can judge them. I'm merely trying to help God. Therefore my church is open to all and everyone is welcome. Our God is not a punisher but a forgiver".
Thought exactly the same about the many sick kids and families affected by serious illness’ Parra Fan...asking for this by a footy player who earns more in one year than others do over many. it’s so outta of touch with real life problems and bad cards dealt...bloody ridiculous and reckon it’s harmed his cause all together myself.
Nice post... your parish priest sounds exactly what being a Christian is all about for me as well.
But I do believe even a footy player is equally entitled to state his opinion or interpretation of his beliefs as he see’s it...at end of day who really seriously looks to a footy players twitter feed for life advice.
Thanks, Macy.
Israel Folau is a public figure. When you're in the spot light your comments carry more weight than Joe Average. There are plenty of nuts about who just look for an excuse to do harm "in the name of God". Israel Folau, either you beleive in religion or not, is a devisive figure who creates and throws petrol on hate for gay people. His comments are no differant to addressing any group of people (either it be sex, race or religion) in a denigrating way.
He had done this before and was warned about it. Keep your controversial personal views to yourself. Second time and your out, buddy.
