Australian Rugby boss boasts of firing Christian player
The Sunday Telegraph, an Australian newspaper, uncovered comments made by the Chief Executive Officer of Rugby Australia, identifying the real reason for the dismissal of Christian rugby player Israel Folau, reports FaithWire.com.
The Rugby boss, Raeline Castle, declared that she would have kicked Folau out of the game even if he had “photocopied Bible passages” and posted them.
The Telegraph article noted that: “Having unilaterally condemned the foundational document of Judeo-Christian civilization as akin to hate speech, [Castle] boasted in a press conference that her decision was a ’landmark’ which “will change the landscape for rugby and sport.’”
John 3:20 tells us that “everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”
After GoFundMe.com shut down the Izzy Folau legal defense fundraising page, the Australian Christian Lobby jumped on it, and raised $2,000,000 in two days! You can support this brother through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com.
American mother in Norway speaks about 3 kids being taken
As The Worldview reported yesterday, an American family has gone public about losing custody of their three children on May 20th in Norway to the child protection police.
Natalya Shutakova was interviewed by StepUp4ChildrensRights.com on her arrest and the removal of her children.
Listen to what she said.
SHUTAKOVA: “The kids were in bed already and I was still up when I saw three police cars come up to my house.”
INTERVIEWER: “Was it already dark?”
SHUTAKOVA: “It was dark. It was 9-something, after 9:00pm and they took me and my husband to the police station. They held us there for some 24 hours. After that we were questioned for three hours separately. It was the most horrible thing that ever happened to me in my life. I always followed the rules in America and I tried to follow the rules here in Norway. So. this was shocking to me to be in jail for the first time in my life for something I have not committed.”
