Indeed,Church of Wazn is for everybody except that i pocket all the cash

Okay I'm sold. The Church of Wazn will give me the spiritual guidance (read: gullibility) I need. I will hand over all of my assets and income to you effective immediately and make my way to Wazn Fields where I will engage in menial labor for the rest of my days before finally dying and riding Wazn into the sky where I will hang out with Mr Ed and the BoJack Horseman.

Hope you don't represent the intelligent atheists.

Isaiah 65:17 "For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; And the former things will not be remembered or come to mind.


Revelation 21:1Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea.

Isaiah 66:22
"For just as the new heavens and the new earth Which I make will endure before Me," declares the LORD, "So your offspring and your name will endure.


According to the Bible, there's only room for 144,000 in Heaven, all from the tribes of Israel.

AH NO. Please do some research you numpty. You make this so easy.

Revelation 7:9-10
9 After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. 10 And they cried out in a loud voice: “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne,and to the Lamb.”


Even if you were a Jew, it's fair to say that you'd be shit out of luck as it would have put up the No Vacancy sign a long time ago.

Your only shit out of luck if you as big a numpty as you! Because your wrong!

But you know, you could always hope that the Big Guy will take pity & whack up a few tents in His backyard. Who knows?

Christians know. Those who actually study theology and have great faith.

You, well you don't know. Its clear you make absolute rubbish up and pretend to believe it.
Thank you for the sermon Cardinal Pell.

Of course it is. Folau has been posting scripture and other religious stuff on social media for years, and the only time anyone has taken issue is when he has attacked a vulnerable group of people that are specifically protected by law.

I believe Folau personally believes what he’s doing is right, but he’s naive and being easily led by the ultra-conservative right, such as the ACL. They see this as their big chance to codify the ability for anyone to discriminate against LGBTI+ people under the guise of protection of religious freedom, something they have been waiting for since the SSM legislation.

I don't disagree that there is a religious freedom element to this discussion, but it is nowhere near as important as the impacts that this situation has on freedom of speech and how much influence that your employer should be allowed to have on your freedom of speech.

If they aren't firing him for an opinion then what exactly are they doing?
They are sacking him for repeated infringements of their code of conduct. And because he is not willing to make any guarantees that he won’t infringe again.

Even Folau admitted that he knew his post would offend people. To try to diminish it as just an “opinion” is disingenuous.
