RUGBY SHAMES ISRAEL FOLAU

Pacific footballer Israel champion footballer from the Pacific is under threat of sacking for comments falsely declared to be homophobic that he placed on Facebook. He may have been addressing people in the Pacific and Australia.

He is undoubtedly a Pacific Christian who grew up in a missionary family and has strong Bible based values on morality. He is not used to the fact that so many Australians ignore Scripture. 

Some left wing activists regard Christianity as the belief system of the enemy. We have to understand the level of education of Israel. Perhaps his grasp of English is not strong. He took his Facebook entry straight out of Galatians.

Perhaps he wanted to address the young fans in Australia on morality based on strong families, gender equality, gender based violence, adultery, alcoholism, drug taking, child abuse and homosexuality. For his last reference he was called homophobic.

There is certain racism in the response of certain rugby officials and QANTAS sponsors. Perhaps they should send him to north Queensland to work on the sugar plantations as the early Pacific Islanders did 150 years ago.

Homosexuality is not accepted in many Pacific countries. Same sex marriage will never be accepted in Papua New Guinea, Fiji and perhaps every other Pacific country. Cell phone pornography has brought paedophilia to the world even among family members.

There is certain childishness in the world today. We have the right not to be offended. We only want to hear positive messages about sin. We are allowing our kids to believe that everything is OK.
