Very silly comment

X2. The Serbian side of his family would do more than throw stones if they heard his blasphemy.

Well go an celebrate the pride jersey and speak out on those causes rather than focussing soley on a bunch of blokes who are literally doing nothing and saying nothing. I don't recall them standing up shouting from the roof tops trying to stop this happening. They have even sat out so you can enjoy the round but you can't enjoy it unless they enjoy it to? The irony is crazy.

Way to ignore the sentiment. 40% of Australians don’t care.

If you read between the lines, Manly were trying to be inclusive and protect one of their own. Their failure is to anticipate that some would feel strongly that wearing the jersey would define them.

And the amount of non religious who pick and choose parts to accuse religious people of picking and choosing.
The usual, 2 fabrics, don't eat pork and why don't they obey the sabbath on Sunday.

one of the most common responses on the Twitterati yesterday about the Manly 7

I wonder how many of them have had sex before marriage

Gronky loves inclusiveness as long as it’s on his terms

I guess the obvious extension of that is, if one aspect is no longer valid then what about another aspect?

I see what you did there.

Good point. You reckon any Muslims at WSW objected to having Primo (pork products) on their jerseys ?

I offended someone by using the term Homeless people. And was told that's a horrible term and best to say people without homes.

I would offer my services for a public stoning

Well Bart did stalk him for a while, so it makes sense.

That's one way of guaranteeing book sales.

What is often quoted is Levtical laws that were given to a specific group of people, the Jewish people. This was their law, they lived under a Theocracy. This was the covenant between them and God and trying to fit the whole story into a phrase, the people couldn't keep the law, they failed. Jesus came and fulfilled the law perfectly and laid down his life to be the sacrifice once and for all freeing them from the law and it couldn't get anymore simple than saying thanks and having faith and walking in love and grace. Gentiles (non Jews) were also invited into this new covenant and live by faith. Paul addresses the issue in early Christianity that some wanted to obey certain customs and obey certain rules and it really came down to a matter on conscious but whatever you do you do in honor of God. This is where these players are at currently. You will find there are many Christians who would be ok wearing the rainbow colors as well but that wouldn't be good for the media narrative.
These players I bet 100% are not against gay people playing league, living how they want to live just like those having sex out of marriage, watching porno and drinking. Their issue (and am only guessing) is that don't want to promote a lifestyle they themselves wouldn't participate in.
I am one of those Christians when I came to faith did wait to have sex til marriage. Not once did I ever tell anyone else what they should do, I never looked down on anyone for living together and having sex before marriage, it really didn't and doesn't bother me, I lived my life according to my faith try my best to walk it out.
Personally, I'd be ok wearing the rainbow as I differ with most Christians on the homosexuality issue but thats another story.
It's hard to explain all this on a forum where this above will get picked apart no doubt, I'm no scholar, I don't know it all, I live a life of hypocrisy but sometimes live it out well and at the end of the day everyone can live how they wish, if I don't agree I'll probably won't say much unless it's going to actually hurt someone. I'm not perfect....far from it....and I love beer.

You should let them stay on your couch.

One of my good friends is very Christian.

He had sex with his girlfriend before marriage (they'd been together at that point for 6 years, and got married 2 years later).

He didn't feel guilty; he explained that he loved his girlfriend, and this was a physical demonstration of their love.

When he spoke to his pastor about it, his pastor echoed his sentiments.

This same friend of mine is openly accepting of homosexuality. He rationalises it by saying that God loves all his children, and even though the Bible is often quoted as the source for decrying homosexuality, my friend says that God would prefer to see people treat each other with kindness, compassion, and respect, than follow the Bible to the letter of the law.

I commend him for that.

Respect the honesty.
I just find declining to support this a strange stand to take compared to aspects they haven’t taken stand against
