Summary: Governments and the people who elect them can not carry out justice because they all are seriously flawed. Therefore individually, nationally and internationally, injustice is everywhere. Those persecuted, oppressed, neglected, deprived and downtrodden are crying out for justice.

JUSTICE AND INJUSTICE IN COURT - ON TRIAL – BUT WHAT IS THE VERDICT? PART 1 OF 2

INJUSTICE FOR CHRISTIANS

A disgraceful thing is happening in Australia. In New South Wales, football is god. The football code is Rugby League. One football club, Manly Sea Eagles, made a decision to make its players wear a “Pride” jersey. Pride is the name given to the promotion and arrogance of homosexuality. There are Pride marches, Pride conventions and now Pride jerseys with some rainbow colouring. The behaviour of Sodom is a stench in God’s sight. Be warned all you who promote that perversion (a bible word incidentally; also “degrading passions” from Romans 1) and those who support it, God is not mocked. The judgement of the great white throne awaits in the future and you will be without excuse.

Seven players of that Manly club refused to wear that jersey so they can’t play, and they have been vilified by the media and politicians all over Australia. The seven players are from the South Pacific Islands – Melanesians and Polynesians, men who maintain the standard of the bible. These Pacific Islands are Christian so most of their their representatives are also. The greatest Rugby Union player who was in Australia – Israel Folau – you might remember was sacked and vilified horribly just because he posted a bible verse on social media that contained a mention of homosexuality in a bible verse. This was the verse – {{1Corinthians 6:9 or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 1Cor 6:10 nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God,}} HE WAS SACKED FOR THAT.

I won’t continue too long with this, but I am shocked at all the media personalities coming out to attack these faithful Christians. Just to give one example, and I quote - “Aussie TV icon Magda Szubanski has attacked the religious stance of seven rugby league players involved in the Manly pride jersey scandal in a series of tweets. The popular performer declared the seven Sea Eagles players, who are boycotting their team’s Thursday night clash with the Roosters, were failing to show the tolerance demanded by their religion by refusing to wear a LGBTQIA-themed jersey.”

Such hypocrisy! That woman despises Christianity and Christians, so she knows nothing about what Christian tolerance is. The Thursday mentioned is the 28th July 2022, a day that will go down as a further step in the sinking of Australia in the moral abyss.

Australian National Rugby League is going to bring in a “Pride Round” for the nation next year and this perversion will go national and be paraded around flaunting all the laws of nature. Those who turn from God are capable of the worst sins.

The local Federal member for the Manly area called those dissenting players hypocrites. She is one who hates Christians and what they stand for. One media outlet in a hateful attack was blaming the missionaries for the trouble because through God, they converted these Pacific islands to Christianity in the 1800s. The media outlet accused the missionaries of destroying the way of life of Pacific Islanders. Praise God they were converted because they lived in a fearful blackness, practising cannibalism, and were violent people to each other.

Nations such as Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Vanuatu, Tahiti, Cook Island, Samoa in particular, and even Hawaii, have been blessed and brought to the light through the early missionaries, many of whom lost their lives and some were eaten. I have had the privilege of visiting all the above places more than once, except Cook Island and it is a joy to see their plentiful churches. I have been present at some of their church services, some of which went for over 4 hours but such is the devotion of these people from the Pacific Islands. Now vile men and women are attacking their Christian faith. It comes from Satan, no other place.

There is such a growing hostility to Christians in Australia and hostility for the moral stance they take on issues. These organisations attack Christians but they will never say a word about a Moslem or Islam. I wonder why? We all know the answer to that. I know this increasing opposition is not just confined to Australia but wickedness is spreading rapidly in the world. Is this any surprise to us? No it is not. We know it will not only happen, but is going to get worse. Consider these very relevant verses –

2Timothy 3:1 Realise this, that in the last days difficult times will come, 2Tim 3:2 for men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, 2Tim 3:3 unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, 2Tim 3:4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
