Former rugby union footballer Nick Farr-Jones says Israel Folau believes he’s done nothing wrong, following a private discussion between the two players.
Well put Nick. Spoke well about the whole situation in a quick summary, the matter is very deep though. Respect to Israel for his words and to Nick for his guts to say his bit.
Israel, remember the 4 mans that stood before King Nebuchadnezzar. No matter how hot where your standing, GOD WILL STILL COME DOWN TO STAND WITH YOU in the furnace of fire.
Thats not the same scenario my friend and plus it was only 3 Hebrews, Mishael, Hananiah and Azariah or Shadrach, Meshach and Obednego, it was King Nebuchadnezzar who tried to force them to bow down to the golden image. No one's forcing Israel to succumb to false idols, but I commend him for standing up for bible commandments in harmony with Gods righteous standards which i believe is mankinds only hope. Homosexuality stands in the same boat as murder, adultery, etc. So its very serious especially coming from a Christians perspective not a non-christian though not everyone knows those commandments especially if they havent read the bible or attend any kind of church.
I stand with you Israel Folau. The Lord Jesus is with you. And if God is with you, who is against you!!! That is all you need!!! Blessings and prayers from New Zealand
Most parents would love their sons to be principled like Israel Folau and for their daughters to marry someone like him. Could pious Australia Rugby and NRL be closet racists? The leftist gay liberal / National Party government's and Labor's condemnation of Israel Folau will cost them dearly with another reason to vote against them and against political correctness. They seem Antichristian, Christophobics? The innocent man, Son of God, Jesus was 'Offensive' too and they Crucified Him.

I really admire the faith of this man... Thank you for standing up for your faith Israel. Remember! The whole of Heaven is standing with you. God bless.
We'll said. They've taken God out of Schools. They bend down to please U.N and let migrants from Muslim Countries come in and infiltrate these lands. You can't speak anything as it is offensive in the name of Political Correctness. BS. We didn't call you here. You struggle through the Mediterranean Seas to come here for the benefits. Our Veterans and Indigenous people are homeless. Why don't the Muslim Countries take them in?
Yes - Peter Beatty would certainly have to be the biggest joke of them all - being "inclusive" by excluding people! Onya (bike!) Peter - way to go Mr Dunderhead! His excuse is that he's suffering from a severe medical condition known as "foot in mouth disease".
Israel, You are very fortunate to be gifted with the Christian faith. To a lesser degree you are also gifted with your wonderful sporting prowess. It must be pleasing to God to see you stand up for His teachings and love thy neighbor. Your reward in the next life will be far greater than anything that can be taken from you in this life. Thanks
Yeah sure, imaginary god will reward a Polynesian for discriminating against a minority, when his people or 'savages' as Christians used to call them, suffered the same discrimination and oppression as a minority themselves. Get a fucking clue. Get an education, learn your history and come out of the dark ages for fucks sake.
Bro Nick...Bro Israel Folau has stood for God and he has a purpose as a Christian. Daniel in the Bible never compromise their Faith In God and that is what Israel did and we know he will suffer but God will reward them. Wallaby and Australia will suffer and league will also suffer. God bless Israel and He will lift you. Amen
jesus christ is real, the world is deceived, when you study the bible yourself you will see it's very real just put time into it and live what it commands and you will see how god work's in your life, that's why it say in the bible work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, it's for the individual to learn themselves.
Yes religions do have double standards because they throw hate at gay people calling them sinner mean while the religious fanatics are complicit to eons of historical clergy abuse.... At least being gay isn't a crime
He's not bagging out gays, he's just stating what sin is. He also mentioned idolatry, fornication and adultery why is nobody jumping up and down about that? No, just pick out the bit that goes against the political agenda. Well good on you Izzy for standing up for your Christian values. I am standing with you as well. God bless you Brother.
Yes we stand together to support you Israel Folau. Thank God for using you to be His servant to show the truth to the world. Don't be afraid because God is with you. God bless you brother.

Roleta Fereti Israel is quoting the bible and exercising his right to free speech which is a fundamental tenet of Australian democracy, rights that people in many Islamic shithole countries don’t have
@Jimmy Robberts well the fundamental principle of free speech is that all speech is allowed except when it incites violence..and the Quran when quoted most certainly incites violence so it does not fit with free speech terms..
@@ansc6472 Errrr Australia does NOT HAVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH last time I checked ...its a crime of slander if you speak without proof or evidence..and in the case of Falou...he has none ..last time I checked the Bible was written by men ...and those men had absolute power to say and write what ever the hell they wanted...and if you DIDN'T BELIEVE. .those sweet kindly men would put you to death In the mos gruesome hideous painful way ...The Bible. .Gods word ..a definite contradiction in terms sheeple

Mr S The condition being that he what? Retract, remove his post about homosexuals? Why? Because if he didn’t, homosexual kids will kill themselves?

Try again atheists.
@@seanado5208 Did you here something amusing? A man losing his livelihood for expressing his religious beliefs isn't funny. It's a crime. As is a man losing his livelihood for expressing his sexuality. Israel hasn't called for LGBT people to be persecuted. He has just repeated what is written in the bible. If your not religious then you dont believe in hell. So you wont be going there. Why destroy someones career?
@@coolhand8060 Sorry, but he destroyed his own career. He was paid to play rugby, not to express homophobic views in public. He was warned but he ignored the warning and breached his work contract. Any person in any other workplace would face the same fate. You are paid to do your job, not to preach your religion. I am a Christian too, but if I started preaching at work, I would be breaching my contract. Quoting from the Bible doesn't justify it. If he quoted from Mein Kampf and said the holocaust never happened, would that be ok? Nobody has a right to hate speech.

Jesus did warn us that we will be hated by all men for spreading the gospel of Jesus. So much respect for u Izzy. At least the whole world now know the gospel so when they stand before the Lord God on judgement day they will have no excuse...i pray for all the christians around the world who are being persecuted for the love of Jesus. God bless u Izzy. The battle belongs to The Lord God now.
Self defence mechanism of religion, the more you’re getting persecuted the better you are performing the faith. No reasoning with this approach, it’s almost as though the people who wrote the bible realised that people would call bullshit.

@@j.ckennedy2669 Bigot (noun) a person who is intolerant towards those holding different opinions. Folau has publically stated that he doesn't hate anyone and that he loves gays. So no intolerance there. Can you say the same or is your comment just an example of bigotry?
@@mjribes - Oh really ? Here's Another one. He loves Gays? What a load of rubbish. Using your personal agenda to say who's goin up , down & under? You speak of intolerance re Folau - 3 x publicly voicing his opinion damning those?? Don't start preaching your logic or ridiculous demands in tryna educate me on the word bigot - Why not look up the word 2 faced. Or Interpretation , all says the same to me.
@@j.ckennedy2669 He didn't "use [his] personal agenda to say who's goin up, down & under", he used his platform to warn those who he believes are on the wrong path. If you truly believe that someone is going to get hurt doing something then it's hateful to just watch them continue to do that thing. So no, Folau hasn't damned anyone - he's warned them and showed them what he believes is the correct path. The only reason some people find what he said offensive is because they enjoy their sin and don't want to be told that what they're doing is wrong. It's a natural reaction - when someone holds a mirror to your bad actions it can be uncomfortable. But that doesn't make Folau's comments intolerant or bigoted. RA's reaction is, on the other hand, absolutely bigoted and wholly intolerant.
@@mjribes - Ah yea he actually he did? Are you that blind? You call that caring? Lol. Or your interpretation of tough love hey? That's not caring . Using your Rugby stature to highlight fear, bigotry, sodomy is not the right way to do it. Now has the nerve to market for his legal fees on Go Fund Me? Which is now close down. Neither you or I know the correct path and shouldn't be anyone else's business to tell me so other than family and people I trust. Whilst were on the subject - NO ONE asked him for his comments. Reality check - where did it get him? No his comments doesn't make him a bigot or intolerant. It ruined his career and advocates ' The so called Right Thing'. Puhlease !!

A Christian espousing critical thinking! Hmmm, ... that sounds like an oxymoron! Concerning Mr. Folau, what is your position on Leviticus 19:28? How do you feel about slavery, as described in Exodus? Thanks. Sincerely interested. Worry not. I don't know you but I would posit that you are MORE moral than the God you believe in. How so? A quick thought experiment. If you were in a room, and you knew someone was raping a child in the room next door and you could stop it, would you? Of course, you would. Well, your God supposedly has the power to stop it, but instead chooses not to. Your God says, ... "I see what you are doing. I will let you do it. But afterwards I will punish you for it". Nonsense. 100% BS.
@@RickinHKG Thanks for your reply, though I think you are missing the point, and the rest of your post has nothing to do with the original post.

And the Bible doesn't condone slavery, try this and his other videos czcams.com/video/o6sTsoGNqe8/video.html As to your Moral argument, well this has been debunked many times before!

Sky news, can you please look into the Australia Rugby Unions decision, what was the motives for sacking this guy who has NO criminal record, what role did Qantas played, n do they own rugby Australia, did they blackmail rugby Australia and who made the final decision, if u find the motives are bias, then lets demand the CEO be sacked and the board. Sent a strong message that criminal and bias behaviour will not be accepted in the team. Equality means everyone is equal, and should be treated as equal, even when it comes to discipline. How many sports players have done drugs, break the law, hit their girlfriends, brought the game into retribution, broke their contract, stood down for a few weeks, n got given another chance, yet this bloke Folau who has no criminal record, says his opinion on social media, and he gets the sack. This is discrimination at its worst, the gay community have the right to voice their opinion about Folau’s belief, so does he. It’s not hate speech, it’s freedom of speech in our democratic Country.
What a brave guy. But he'll be ok. He'll be better than ok in fact because God stands by those who stand by him publicly. All those who turned on him though......they wont end so well.

L Groot A civilised justice system is based on Judeo-Christian values and beliefs. Immoral. How does one know what is moral and what is not moral? Where does our sense of “morality” come from?
Fua Niu some Christian values that borrowed them from other cultures and prior religions. god doesn’t solve the morality issue like you think it does. You’re just appealing to an authority. God could be wrong and you wouldn’t even know it using your model. We start with subjective basic assessments about wellbeing and build objective moral conclusions based on those foundations. Which is exactly what we’ve ended up doing. At least this way if we realise we are wrong we can change things, like the way we treat homosexuals.

Well spoken Nick Farr-Jones, thank you for standing up for the Christian Faith and Isreal's convictions. And 10/10 Andrew Bolt for leading the way in a Bipartisan show of support despite for Isreal despite your nonbelief. Journalism at it's fairest. I am astounded by the George Orwell's, 1984 type double speak by Rugby Australia saying the sport is inclusive but we exclude people who quote verbatim the Bible or any other book of faith (yet to be tested if a Muslim quotes the Quran or a Jehovah's Witnesses, quoting their book of faith) and find themselves on the unemployment list. Any QC and lawyer willing to make a name and go pro bono, presenting a landmark court case for Izzy would be interesting. Maybe possible breach of contract, restraint of trade (as other codes have precluded him), sponsorship loss, defamation, pain, suffering and trauma mentally and emotionally, liable, verballed, racially vilified, slandered - to name a few breaches that come to mind. People like Peter John FitzSimons- AM, who just as overt as an Atheist as Nick is a Christian, doesn't believe in a God, Heaven or Hell but has the audacity to condemn someone who does but of course that's his form of inclusion- reverse discrimination- Post-Modernism 2019 style. Why is he so worked up about being told he is going to a place he doesn't believe exists- called 'Hell? Why doesn't he just say 'Wrong direction Izzy' I'm going nowhere of the sort'. Or maybe deep down, the word of God is sharper than a two-edged sword and the name of Jesus is above another name and one day every knee will bow and every tongue confesses- Jesus Christ is Lord which as Nick says if foolishness to those blinded by the Angel of Light. Do it now or on judgment day. But the Bible says, on that day the full-time whistle has blown for those God will just say- 'Depart from me I never knew you' to those who denied Him due to pride and unbelief. How sad that what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul and never understand. If a Hindu told me I am going to be reincarnated as an ant because he or she thought I was a bad person, it wouldn't worry me. Why should it because I don't believe in reincarnation. Certainly not offended because they have the right to tell me their beliefs. Pedro Fernandes de Queirós on May 14th, 1606 while sailing past called this country Great Southland of the Holy Spirit. And the rest as they say in the classics is History.
*"Any QC and lawyer willing to make a name and go pro bono"* what Israel did & what Christianity & Islamic Sharia advocates are examples of threatening violence through proxy, under the law threatening violence is illegal. which is where free speech ends!
veganath Israel just said they’re going to hell because he loves them and doesn’t want them to go there. That’s not violence, that’s called caring for others because he truly believes it. He was willing to risk his life to save others from hell. I’d call that brave and loving.

All i heard in England was James Motormouth Haskell and Joe Marler spouting horribly ignorant and possibly libellous tripe that would have been just as insufferable if they had been talking about carp fishing or brick laying.
Nick Farr-Jones was the first Captain of the Wallabies I can remember watching as a Kid. The game was amateur, we could beat the All Blacks I loved my Country. Now I couldn’t care less if we get flogged by Romania at the RWC.
I'm an Athiest and I am not offended that I made his list. And Nick Far-Jones, even If Falou expressed his opinion in a respectful, non-offensive way the activists will still have been offended, that's just how they roll.
Fellow atheist, what Israel did is an example of threatening violence through proxy, under the law threatening violence is illegal. Freedom of speech ends there!!
@@veganath? so you do believe in hell? but you are an atheist? Because he just said what was in the bible no threats of violence just telling the people on the list that they will go to hell once they die if they do not change their ways. and if you do not believe in that stuff (like me )then where exactly is the threat and what is the threat ? When you say violence through 'proxy' are you meaning that Israel was speaking on gods behalf and there for god is breaking the law by saying that ?
Honestly, there is no way to preach the true gospel (i.e. not a watered-down gospel) in a way that won't offend people. That's why Jesus and the apostles were executed. They boldly shared the gospel and people took offense.
As an atheist myself, your dismissal was unfair and unjust. Take up cricket bloke, you can cheat, embarrass Australia to the world, return and then be rewarded for doing so.
@@veganath That's rediculous.He hasn't threatened anyone with violence at all. Another millennial comment that is being blown out of complete proportion.
@@brettwilkinson9529 *"He hasn't threatened anyone with violence at all."* so no doubt you condemn those who threaten unnecessary suffer through violence? Correct me if I'm wrong but your God(assume u to be Xtian) created hell for the purpose of causing people who are for example homosexual to suffer for an eternity, or do I have my wires crossed?
@eagle boy I have no trouble believing that if you populate a place with the souls of those who are opposed to God's good ways you end up with hell. I have less trouble believing that in 2019 than I ever did. However, your mischaracterization of hell has little to do with my point. My point is, if you don't believe in hell, why does it matter to you if someone else says you're going there?
@eagle boy and that's your belief and you are entitled to it. That my friend is what freedom of religion is all about. That also means that we have the right to believe in the God of the Bible and heaven and hell. That does not mean that you have the right to mock us for it. It amazes me how you atheist get so upset by us Christians practicing our faith - you practice your atheism - it's your right. But then respect our right to practice Christianity. Wouldn't you say that's fair?
@@darrylroberts9384 You can believe in a baseball bat for all I care it don't give you the right to hit people over the head with it Why aren't you banging on about the eons of clergy abuse across every religious sector?? Is it because your so called higher power has no issue with it... Just because a book that has umpteeth editions says something is a sin doesn't make it facts Religion is faith based there isn't any concrete evidence of it being 100% factual It's 2022 and the heiracy of religions still don't abide by mandatory reporting laws when it comes to child predators within the church walls While you are complicit to and support any institution that allows these criminals to avoid prosecution you can never ever judge anyone past the church walls Also you can't act like a victim when you use religion as a smoke screen to victimize others Keep your Bible in your church
Such a great man he is.. His name is written in heaven.. Bless you brother Israel for standing strong in the way of truth while fighting all the forces of evil..
J.C Kennedy who told you Bible spread hate?? *1 Corinthian 6:9* clearly says that those who are wicked cannot enter into the kingdom of God. *6:9Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders**6:10**nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.* He head posted this because he love everyone and try to protect them by informing them. So that they can be saved from the wrath of God.
Just a question and I mean this most respectfully. Before my question....If you believe God made all men then you cannot get around the fact that he made homosexuals also. Now, as much as you're a heterosexual, you had no choice in the matter, and neither do homosexuals. I am clear what the bible says about many sinful things and they are all sins in the eyes of God...but the main theme of the bible and new testament is that there is salvation through Jesus Christ...GOd gave His only Son for the forgiveness of all. How are homosexuals any different? There is depravity amongst heterosexuals too...are they any more righteous in God's eyes? No they are not. I believe in the word of God but I don't believe homosexuals are singled out by God...there are many sins and many of them are unique to heterosexuals - rape, disrespect for women, pornography, adultery and many lesser sins but those without sin should cast the first stone. Israel Folau has no right to condemn anyone or preach that anyone is to be condemned...that's God's business. He is the judge and it is He who decides who enters hell..."vengeance is mine and mine alone". Israel is NOT a great man...he is great sportsman, nothing more and he is also very stupid to judge others, shout his mouth off...if he want to spread the word of God he needs to think more about what he is saying...or better still just tell people that God loves them...because that is absolutely 100% unquestionably true.
@@dhardhirdruha6916 - oh spare me your interpretations Your quotes and the bible are what you truly hide behind because you can't handle it in the real world. as a coward. His post, his truth, his belief, his way or the highway eventually lead him where? That's right - not seen or heard from since his staunch stance and expert advice on who is and who isn't' going to Hell. Perhaps it's you, and Folau that don't get it do you??
@UCId2oKj1QIzfukLYBUAq-2g Most respectfully and in God - You just don't get it, do you. Look up literalism. You can quote me any number of lines in the Bible that condemn any number of sins....there is much to choose from. As I have said, and which you seem determined to ignore in your efforts to judge and condemn your brother/sisters. That is God's work, not yours"Matt.7. [1] Judge not, that ye be not judged. [2] For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. [3] And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?"...and with the admonition that "God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil "Ecclesiastes. I can quote, from memory, a hundred more brought up as I was in a Catholic school. SO lets leave the pissing contest alone, we can each look at parts of the Bible that seem to copper-fasten our case/argument. What is the greatest commandment? Apart from not sinning - "To love the Lord your God with all you heart and all your mind and to love thy neighbour as thyself". These are the inseparable commandments for one cannot love God and hate thy neighbour and your neighbour is ALL MANKIND, WITHOUT EXCEPTION (as told in the parable of the Good Samaritan). GOd made the heavens and the earth and all that is in them...since people inhabit the earth so that even unto this very day God is the essence and source of all creation. In the beginning was The Word, The Word was God and The Word was with God and the Word of God sustains the universe to this very day - so that all and everything in it owes its very existence to God. How can you as a Christian seriously write that God didn't create your brothers or sisters who happen to be homosexual? Not only are you wrong to do so but you are acting as judge of those whose very nature was given to them, not by some decision made in their life, but because that is who and what they are. They are as worthy as you or I. God loves them as much as he loves me and we know that because God Himself came to save the world - not just you. He came to deliberately sell His precious life for the forgiveness of sin - for sinners and for the salvation of the world - that means all of creation! John 3:17, “God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.” That is THE CENTRAL MESSAGE OF THE BIBLE - it is NOT TO GIVE A LIST OF WRONGS. It is a message to repent so that the salvation of the Lord God includes you. That is why it is wrong to judge. That is why it was extremely stupid of Israel Falou to start listing out people who are thieves, drunkards, homosexuals etc. and condemning them since on the very cross on which He poured out His blood did He not forgive the thief who repented of his sins. The bible tells us what to avoid and yet we ALL fall into sin. I am a hetrosexual and I am a sinner. Is it too great a leap for you to imagine that a homosexual is any greater a sinner than I....I assure you he isn't. Are you without sin that you can condemn another no matter what the bible says - Didn't the Lord condemn the Pharisees as follows "You hypocrite! First, remove the beam out of your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother's eye". They knew the Law but not the spirit of the Law - gravity is a law of physics that knows no mercy...jump off a cliff and you die. The law of the bible is just the same. WIthout the love of Jesus Christ who died for our sins and Whose Father in Heaven gave His only Son in atonement for our sins, such is His love for man, the laws of the bible are admonishments of things to avoid - these things lead to death but mercy and the love of God washes away these things because the whole bible tells us that God forgives sins - "which is easier to say, that your sins are forgiven you or to get up and walk". GOd performed that miracle and arose from the dead to show that He was the master of death and sin! I hope you will listen to that for it is the Word of God and not the just the laws of God which we are all guilty of breaking! Finally you are wrong not only as above but on so many levels..."God do not love sinful people"...God gave his only Son for the forgiveness of sins....what are you talking about? Thanks you for this exchange but nobody can go wrong knowing that God love all people and died for our sins. "For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him".

Thats not the same scenario my friend and plus it was only 3 Hebrews, Mishael, Hananiah and Azariah or Shadrach, Meshach and Obednego, it was King Nebuchadnezzar who tried to force them to bow down to the golden image. No one's forcing Israel to succumb to false idols, but I commend him for standing up for bible commandments in harmony with Gods righteous standards which i believe is mankinds only hope. Homosexuality stands in the same boat as murder, adultery, etc. So its very serious especially coming from a Christians perspective not a non-christian though not everyone knows those commandments especially if they havent read the bible or attend any kind of church.

So no, Folau hasn't damned anyone - he's warned them and showed them what he believes is the correct path.
The only reason some people find what he said offensive is because they enjoy their sin and don't want to be told that what they're doing is wrong. It's a natural reaction - when someone holds a mirror to your bad actions it can be uncomfortable. But that doesn't make Folau's comments intolerant or bigoted.

Why do the fools who don't believe really care? If they are atheists its water off a ducks back, but if Islams LAW is to Execute gays in gods name,, well.. there just misunderstood. As per usual media, ARU Qantas and NRL has blown this out of proportion and taken his comments out of Context. Allowing for hypocrites to cry, we hate Christians. I'm with you Izzy , Your right to state your beliefs have been down trodden.
@Tom E do you have any idea how Dumb you are not to see the cynicism in my comments. Islam LAW is SHARIA LAW. If you can't see the context I wrote this in then your most likely beyond help.
@Tom E well at least you acknowledge their a minority leftard. Once again if you don't believe in hell why the Fk worry, what he says or believes. No. Your a fkn leftard who would gladly be n apologist for Islam, Would prefer no free speech as you cry Hate speech. Get out of your safe space occasionally moron, into the real world, Its not a cut and dried as you make it. And Your opinion doesn't mean its right. Spirituality is a personal thing and as long as he is not hurting people physically nor asking to execute them like your Religion of Pieces you stick up for what's the fkn problem dummy? Free speech is about self expression, Nothing more, nothing less. Its part of democracy, which I may add many have died for you to express your own views. I may never agree with your lack of Life experience thinking but I would die to allow you to express it. Does that ring a bell with you?? Or are you to far gone to comprehend the Difference between free speech, Free thought and Socialism and totalitarianism.
@Tom E What your words tell me is your arrogance and ignorance know no bounds. I really dgaf about you your pathetic Hypocritical take on Life nor your opinion, why? Because just like ass holes we all have one.

A Christian espousing critical thinking! Hmmm, ... that sounds like an oxymoron! Concerning Mr. Folau, what is your position on Leviticus 19:28? How do you feel about slavery, as described in Exodus? Thanks. Sincerely interested. Worry not. I don't know you but I would posit that you are MORE moral than the God you believe in. How so? A quick thought experiment. If you were in a room, and you knew someone was raping a child in the room next door and you could stop it, would you? Of course, you would. Well, your God supposedly has the power to stop it, but instead chooses not to. Your God says, ... "I see what you are doing. I will let you do it. But afterwards I will punish you for it". Nonsense. 100% BS.

Len Xbot777z since the indoctrination in movies and t.v. shows and cartoons are growing rapidly the only option is to teach your children yourself and raise them in the Lord and train them up in the Lord so when they get older they will not depart from the faith and teachings. That's why i monitor closely what my children watches bc ppl are so sneaky they'll slip things in the most innocent shows. i.e. the pbs cartoon show Arthur teacher mister Ratburn is now gay

Sky news, can you please look into the Australia Rugby Unions decision, what was the motives for sacking this guy who has NO criminal record, what role did Qantas played,
n do they own rugby Australia, did they blackmail rugby Australia and who made the final decision, if u find the motives are bias, then lets demand the CEO be sacked and the board. Sent a strong message that criminal and bias behaviour will not be accepted in the team. Equality means everyone is equal, and should be treated as equal, even when it comes to discipline. How many sports players have done drugs, break the law, hit their girlfriends, brought the game into retribution, broke their contract, stood down for a few weeks, n got given another chance, yet this bloke Folau who has no criminal record, says his opinion on social media, and he gets the sack. This is discrimination at its worst, the gay community have the right to voice their opinion about Folau’s belief, so does he. It’s not hate speech, it’s freedom of speech in our democratic Country.
Jesus your Word is the only Truth❤!!
He did nothing wrong!!
Bless him and open doors for him Jesus.
“Go and proclaim the good news..” it is a command and Folau does what he is asked to do as follower of Christ..
If you cared about your own judgement day you wouldn't be cheerfully complicit to eons of historical clergy abuse so worry about your own broken soul

Thankyou for not disabling comments.
Here is my comment ...I support Israel Folau. By the way I am in the majority because it appears 52% of aussies are Christians.
Deb because he’s advocating worship of deity that’s threatening people with gruesome punishment.
L Groot threatening people with gruesome punishment...and is that a bad thing?
Fua Niu yeah if you don’t like torture. No civilised justice system tortures the inmates because we’ve recognised it’s immoral
L Groot A civilised justice system is based on Judeo-Christian values and beliefs. Immoral. How does one know what is moral and what is not moral? Where does our sense of “morality” come from?
Fua Niu some Christian values that borrowed them from other cultures and prior religions.
god doesn’t solve the morality issue like you think it does. You’re just appealing to an authority. God could be wrong and you wouldn’t even know it using your model.
We start with subjective basic assessments about wellbeing and build objective moral conclusions based on those foundations. Which is exactly what we’ve ended up doing.
At least this way if we realise we are wrong we can change things, like the way we treat homosexuals.
The right to offend is an essential right that needs to be protected at all costs...
psychicstreetsweepers Yes who determines what is free speech? Surely not the totalitarian left
ANSC Not until the green/ left are elected, then just watch the left’s naturally occurring authoritarian impulse flex.

Maybe coz they have gay friends and family u ignorant Fool did u think of that? Or Gay themselves
In that I hope felau is Christian and not Muslim.

@@sydwest4965 yeah and only Christians are pedo's in your little world. You all seem to have an image that Christians are perfect, there are some people that claim to be Christian but do not understand the faith.

@@sydwest4965
*Christians claim that at the point of there conversion they are now a new spirit and clean and the old self is dead --- Yes but you are missing the point. They have been forgiven of their sins. It is like having a fine paid, you are clear of jail time but that doesn't stop you from committing another crime again. If someone paid your fine and said 'pls try not to commit crime again' you would try your best not to out of gratitude amongst other things.
* Clearly a delusion because they continue to sin you said it yourself - Your incorrect interpretation makes this point invalid.
* Only a fool claims to be something their not - Can you please tell me if you are a good person or not? I am intrigued.
* Plenty of born agains are stupid conceited people who cant even get the basics of the gospels correct - True, same goes with atheists. The world leading Atheist (Richard Dawkins) could not even complete the full name of the book that justifies evolution. "The Origin of Species" (czcams.com/video/Hv2U2Xp2Nu8/video.html) - What is your point?
* If they sin as you said they do,, then they are not a new creation as they claim - If you wash your hands it does not mean they can't become dirty again.
*This is the part where you claim your under the grace of God - Do you understand what grace means? Having the grace of God does not imply you are perfect. Either I completely misunderstand your point (in which I am sorry) or you dont know what grace of God implies. It does NOT imply you are a saint.

Well spoken Nick Farr-Jones, thank you for standing up for the Christian Faith and Isreal's convictions.
And 10/10 Andrew Bolt for leading the way in a Bipartisan show of support despite for Isreal despite your nonbelief. Journalism at it's fairest.
I am astounded by the George Orwell's, 1984 type double speak by Rugby Australia saying the sport is inclusive but we exclude people who quote verbatim the Bible or any other book of faith (yet to be tested if a Muslim quotes the Quran or a Jehovah's Witnesses, quoting their book of faith) and find themselves on the unemployment list.
Any QC and lawyer willing to make a name and go pro bono, presenting a landmark court case for Izzy would be interesting.
Maybe possible breach of contract, restraint of trade (as other codes have precluded him), sponsorship loss, defamation, pain, suffering and trauma mentally and emotionally, liable, verballed, racially vilified, slandered - to name a few breaches that come to mind.
People like Peter John FitzSimons- AM, who just as overt as an Atheist as Nick is a Christian, doesn't believe in a God, Heaven or Hell but has the audacity to condemn someone who does but of course that's his form of inclusion- reverse discrimination- Post-Modernism 2019 style.
Why is he so worked up about being told he is going to a place he doesn't believe exists- called 'Hell? Why doesn't he just say 'Wrong direction Izzy' I'm going nowhere of the sort'.
Or maybe deep down, the word of God is sharper than a two-edged sword and the name of Jesus is above another name and one day every knee will bow and every tongue confesses- Jesus Christ is Lord which as Nick says if foolishness to those blinded by the Angel of Light.
Do it now or on judgment day. But the Bible says, on that day the full-time whistle has blown for those God will just say- 'Depart from me I never knew you' to those who denied Him due to pride and unbelief.
How sad that what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul and never understand.
If a Hindu told me I am going to be reincarnated as an ant because he or she thought I was a bad person, it wouldn't worry me. Why should it because I don't believe in reincarnation. Certainly not offended because they have the right to tell me their beliefs. Pedro Fernandes de Queirós on May 14th, 1606 while sailing past called this country Great Southland of the Holy Spirit. And the rest as they say in the classics is History.

As an English Rugby fan , I have to commend Nick Farr-Jones and the TV reporter for the dignified and intelligent way they handled this topic and Folau's stance.
All i heard in England was James Motormouth Haskell and Joe Marler spouting horribly ignorant and possibly libellous tripe that would have been just as insufferable if they had been talking about carp fishing or brick laying.
Nick Farr-Jones was the first Captain of the Wallabies I can remember watching as a Kid. The game was amateur, we could beat the All Blacks I loved my Country.
Now I couldn’t care less if we get flogged by Romania at the RWC.
I'm an Athiest and I am not offended that I made his list. And Nick Far-Jones, even If Falou expressed his opinion in a respectful, non-offensive way the activists will still have been offended, that's just how they roll.
I agree. Christians seem to be selectively targeted by the Gaystapo.
Fellow atheist, what Israel did is an example of threatening violence through proxy, under the law threatening violence is illegal. Freedom of speech ends there!!
@@veganath? so you do believe in hell? but you are an atheist?
Because he just said what was in the bible no threats of violence just telling the people on the list that they will go to hell once they die if they do not change their ways. and if you do not believe in that stuff (like me )then where exactly is the threat and what is the threat ?
When you say violence through 'proxy' are you meaning that Israel was speaking on gods behalf and there for god is breaking the law by saying that ?
Honestly, there is no way to preach the true gospel (i.e. not a watered-down gospel) in a way that won't offend people. That's why Jesus and the apostles were executed. They boldly shared the gospel and people took offense.

@eagle boy I have no trouble believing that if you populate a place with the souls of those who are opposed to God's good ways you end up with hell. I have less trouble believing that in 2019 than I ever did.
However, your mischaracterization of hell has little to do with my point. My point is, if you don't believe in hell, why does it matter to you if someone else says you're going there?
@eagle boy and that's your belief and you are entitled to it. That my friend is what freedom of religion is all about. That also means that we have the right to believe in the God of the Bible and heaven and hell. That does not mean that you have the right to mock us for it. It amazes me how you atheist get so upset by us Christians practicing our faith - you practice your atheism - it's your right. But then respect our right to practice Christianity. Wouldn't you say that's fair?

You can believe in a baseball bat for all I care it don't give you the right to hit people over the head with it
Why aren't you banging on about the eons of clergy abuse across every religious sector?? Is it because your so called higher power has no issue with it...
Just because a book that has umpteeth editions says something is a sin doesn't make it facts
Religion is faith based there isn't any concrete evidence of it being 100% factual
It's 2022 and the heiracy of religions still don't abide by mandatory reporting laws when it comes to child predators within the church walls
While you are complicit to and support any institution that allows these criminals to avoid prosecution you can never ever judge anyone past the church walls
Also you can't act like a victim when you use religion as a smoke screen to victimize others
Keep your Bible in your church
Such a great man he is.. His name is written in heaven.. Bless you brother Israel for standing strong in the way of truth while fighting all the forces of evil..
Great? For what spreading hate ?
J.C Kennedy who told you Bible spread hate??
*1 Corinthian 6:9* clearly says that those who are wicked cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
*6:9Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders**6:10**nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.*
He head posted this because he love everyone and try to protect them by informing them. So that they can be saved from the wrath of God.
Just a question and I mean this most respectfully. Before my question....If you believe God made all men then you cannot get around the fact that he made homosexuals also. Now, as much as you're a heterosexual, you had no choice in the matter, and neither do homosexuals. I am clear what the bible says about many sinful things and they are all sins in the eyes of God...but the main theme of the bible and new testament is that there is salvation through Jesus Christ...GOd gave His only Son for the forgiveness of all. How are homosexuals any different? There is depravity amongst heterosexuals too...are they any more righteous in God's eyes? No they are not. I believe in the word of God but I don't believe homosexuals are singled out by God...there are many sins and many of them are unique to heterosexuals - rape, disrespect for women, pornography, adultery and many lesser sins but those without sin should cast the first stone. Israel Folau has no right to condemn anyone or preach that anyone is to be condemned...that's God's business. He is the judge and it is He who decides who enters hell..."vengeance is mine and mine alone". Israel is NOT a great man...he is great sportsman, nothing more and he is also very stupid to judge others, shout his mouth off...if he want to spread the word of God he needs to think more about what he is saying...or better still just tell people that God loves them...because that is absolutely 100% unquestionably true.
@@dhardhirdruha6916 - oh spare me your interpretations Your quotes and the bible are what you truly hide behind because you can't handle it in the real world.
as a coward.
His post, his truth, his belief, his way or the highway eventually lead him where?
That's right - not seen or heard from since his staunch stance and expert advice on who is and who isn't' going to Hell.
Perhaps it's you, and Folau that don't get it do you??
@UCId2oKj1QIzfukLYBUAq-2g Most respectfully and in God - You just don't get it, do you. Look up literalism. You can quote me any number of lines in the Bible that condemn any number of sins....there is much to choose from. As I have said, and which you seem determined to ignore in your efforts to judge and condemn your brother/sisters. That is God's work, not yours"Matt.7. [1] Judge not, that ye be not judged. [2] For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. [3] And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?"...and with the admonition that "God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil "Ecclesiastes. I can quote, from memory, a hundred more brought up as I was in a Catholic school. SO lets leave the pissing contest alone, we can each look at parts of the Bible that seem to copper-fasten our case/argument.
What is the greatest commandment? Apart from not sinning - "To love the Lord your God with all you heart and all your mind and to love thy neighbour as thyself". These are the inseparable commandments for one cannot love God and hate thy neighbour and your neighbour is ALL MANKIND, WITHOUT EXCEPTION (as told in the parable of the Good Samaritan). GOd made the heavens and the earth and all that is in them...since people inhabit the earth so that even unto this very day God is the essence and source of all creation. In the beginning was The Word, The Word was God and The Word was with God and the Word of God sustains the universe to this very day - so that all and everything in it owes its very existence to God. How can you as a Christian seriously write that God didn't create your brothers or sisters who happen to be homosexual? Not only are you wrong to do so but you are acting as judge of those whose very nature was given to them, not by some decision made in their life, but because that is who and what they are. They are as worthy as you or I. God loves them as much as he loves me and we know that because God Himself came to save the world - not just you. He came to deliberately sell His precious life for the forgiveness of sin - for sinners and for the salvation of the world - that means all of creation!
John 3:17, “God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.” That is THE CENTRAL MESSAGE OF THE BIBLE - it is NOT TO GIVE A LIST OF WRONGS. It is a message to repent so that the salvation of the Lord God includes you. That is why it is wrong to judge. That is why it was extremely stupid of Israel Falou to start listing out people who are thieves, drunkards, homosexuals etc. and condemning them since on the very cross on which He poured out His blood did He not forgive the thief who repented of his sins.
The bible tells us what to avoid and yet we ALL fall into sin. I am a hetrosexual and I am a sinner. Is it too great a leap for you to imagine that a homosexual is any greater a sinner than I....I assure you he isn't. Are you without sin that you can condemn another no matter what the bible says - Didn't the Lord condemn the Pharisees as follows "You hypocrite! First, remove the beam out of your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother's eye". They knew the Law but not the spirit of the Law - gravity is a law of physics that knows no mercy...jump off a cliff and you die. The law of the bible is just the same. WIthout the love of Jesus Christ who died for our sins and Whose Father in Heaven gave His only Son in atonement for our sins, such is His love for man, the laws of the bible are admonishments of things to avoid - these things lead to death but mercy and the love of God washes away these things because the whole bible tells us that God forgives sins - "which is easier to say, that your sins are forgiven you or to get up and walk". GOd performed that miracle and arose from the dead to show that He was the master of death and sin! I hope you will listen to that for it is the Word of God and not the just the laws of God which we are all guilty of breaking!
Finally you are wrong not only as above but on so many levels..."God do not love sinful people"...God gave his only Son for the forgiveness of sins....what are you talking about?
Thanks you for this exchange but nobody can go wrong knowing that God love all people and died for our sins. "For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him".
Nick Farr-Jones, well done, sir! And thank you for your example.
