[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 944034, member: 20605"] Folau's church might be AoG in name, but it is far from the liberal AoG church that some here are talking about. I'll just leave this here for his supporters to read. [URL]https://www.mamamia.com.au/israel-folau-religion/[/URL] [INDENT][COLOR=#0000ff]"Generally speaking, Pentecostal people are good people. They’re nice, they do things for the community, they want to raise their families properly. They are devoted to their faith. That’s all really good stuff, but there’s a wilful ignorance to learn about sexual orientation or gender identity,” he continued. He believes, given how far the church has come in the past four decades with recognizing culture and its part in altering opinions within the religion, it’s only a matter of time before they also accept the LGBTI community. Venn-Brown is helping to do just that with his work with Ambassadors & Bridge Builders International (ABBI). Their mission is to create understanding and acceptance for LGBTI people within religious organizations. [B]Folau’s projections are ‘disturbed.’[/B] When it comes to Folau’s approach to getting his message across, Venn-Brown has strong feelings. “There’s something wrong with him.” “When I look at his behaviour and the posts on his Twitter feed, you realise this is a disturbed man. I know from my experience people who are that obsessed and that judgemental – there’s some deep personal problem they’re projecting,” he said. He says we just have to look at Hillsong founder Brian Houston’s response to Folau’s comments to see that as true. Houston condemned his behaviour, as “not the way to go about it.” “The world doesn’t need more judgmental Christians,”[/COLOR][/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
