No the Bible does not say what Falaou wrote. The only reference to gayness in the Bible is "man shall not lie with man".. That's it however his religion has interpreted this to mean gay's will go to hell
1Co 6:9 - Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites

I don't know why, but I read this out in my head with the voice of an evangelical male African American preacher.

Mind, I don’t believe this myself as I’m not religious, but it’s a mistake to believe that homosexuality isn’t referenced in the Bible, it is.
Some will argue it’s not because in the original text, the term “effeminate” is used, but that’s just the word they used back then for homosexuals.

Funny part is that instead of "homosexuals" and "sodomites", it originally said, "effeminate" and "arsenokoites"

Arsenokite means "man bed". No one knows what Arsenokoites means but the guess was homosexual, so that's what it became.

Should also be pointed out that it wasn't said until a long time after Jesus died.

But it's pretty obvious the bible didn't like homosexuals. I mean, the G man nuked two homosexual towns. Poor Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

It could just mean men who use too much product in their hair.... in which case, Folau is in trouble!

I somewhat agree with that, but I think he handled it badly. The main issue here is that people were offended by it to the point where people were cancelling their memberships and threatening a boycott of the game.

Personally I think he could have said things to the same effect but said them more diplomatically. Unfortunately the way he handled it is no different to someone saying, "You'll burn in hell for being black. Become white to save yourself"
I also agree with that. But ultimately I still arrive at the same conclusion - voicing his opinion about his religious beliefs is not for RUgby Australia to have an opinion on.

They should stick to administering competitive rugby (they've been doing a pretty shit job at it, so they need all the help they can get).

Good luck finding many societies at that point in human history who held favourable views of homosexuals.

When everyone finally can see the truth that the Jewish faith is the chosen one all of this will pass.

Can I just confirm, you're a rich Jew who lives in Bondi, and you support the Roosters, correct?

I’m on Izzy side on this topic
Except the extent of the courts case

Isn’t revenge a sin?
Is getting one up on rugby and fucking up the lives of heaps of people out of personal agenda a sin
God would frown upon Izzy I would think

Looks like Izzy just cherry picking his values and faith

Bungle: How Rugby Australia mishandled Israel Folau’s contract

https://www.foxsports.com.au/rugby/...t/news-story/d2f2205de93e62ab4ad5e77e4b5c4f3c

New report - Raelene Castle in the gun over Israel Folau firing

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/rugby/news/article.cfm?c_id=80&objectid=12231382

In short: Rugby Australia chief executive Raelene Castle ditched an 11th-hour attempt to insert a social media clause into Folau’s four-year contract, meaning he did NOT breach ANY clause in his contract.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA.
