Rugby players and fans rage at Israel Folau’s latest anti-gay post

Days after Israel Folau became Super Rugby’s all-time record try-scorer he plunged to new lows with another social media post condemning gay people to hell.

In a post also letting off a volley of religious judgement upon alcoholics, atheists and fornicators, Folau risks disciplinary action from Rugby Australia chiefs having caused outrage almost a year to the day since another anti-gay Instagram post caused controversy.

Those that are living in Sin will end up in Hell unless you repent. Jesus Christ loves you and is giving you time to turn away from your sin and come to him. _______________ Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these , adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revelings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Galatians 5:19‭-‬21 KJV _______________ Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Acts 2:38 KJV _______________ And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: Acts 17:30 KJV _______________
