CP – Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison, an evangelical Christian, criticized rugby star Israel Folau for linking eastern Australia’s brushfire crisis with the wrath of God. Speaking to members of Sydney’s Truth of Jesus Christ Church on Sunday, the former Wallabies player who was ousted in May for posting similar comments on social media, implied the natural disaster indicates God’s judgement given the nation’s recent decision to legalize same-sex marriage and pass other abortion-related laws.
“God’s Word says for a man and a woman to be together, one man and one woman in the covenant of marriage to be together,” he said. “Abortion — it’s now okay to murder and kill unborn children and they deem that to be okay.” He added: “Look how rapid these brushfires, these droughts, all these things have come in a short period of time, do you think it’s a coincidence or not? “God is speaking to you guys — Australia, you need to repent and take these laws and turn it back into following what is right by God,” Folau said.
