While many in the privileged Western world are busy competing for oppression points from cartoons, hairstyles, and children’s books, this is a timely reminder of what real oppression looks like.

As has now become clear, Israel Folau lost his job as a professional athlete simply for paraphrasing a passage from the Bible. We know this is the case, since Miranda Devine subsequently reported in The Daily Telegraph, that Folau’s choice to post online would have been a problem, even if Folau had chosen to quote the Bible.

“The men who are being persecuted and the churches that are being persecuted are asserting the supremacy of Jesus Christ over the church in a way that offends the government that wants to be supreme over the church.”

Because if implying there is something wrong with being white while denying the existence of light-skinned Jews isn’t enough to heal the nation of racism, suggesting all Middle Easterners look alike is sure to do the trick, right?

Robertson’s claims not only demonstrate the dangers of reading the Bible through the lens of Critical Race Theory, but they also show the importance of reading the Bible in context.

It’s become quite fashionable with the advent of social media for rank amateur theologians to posture as experts on Christian living, doctrine and to even claim confidence of what the historical Jesus Christ would support or oppose. Ironically many personally reject any authority or validity of Scripture in their personal lives – it’s just something they pretend has authority when they ignorantly assume it supports their position. The most common example is easily people who quote the first two words of Matthew 7, “Judge not”, without reading the rest of that very chapter or Gospels or Bible which teaches Christians…

I love Christmas carols. They are the soundtrack of the season. As great as carols are, it’s possible to make it through the whole month of December, hear these tunes, and yet not tune in to what the carols are really saying. On closer inspection, Christmas carols make some audacious claims. Consider just a few lines from Hark the Herald Angels Sing: Veiled in flesh, the Godhead see, Hail, the incarnate Deity. Pleased as man, with men to dwell, Jesus, our Immanuel. What an absurd idea. God being limited to one place at a time? God learning how to walk? God……

Netflix has sparked outrage after releasing a new “Christmas special” depicting Jesus as a gay man in a homosexual relationship. The film, The First Temptation of Christ, shows a gay Jesus introducing his boyfriend Orlando to his parents, Mary and Joseph, during his 30th birthday. According to Pink News, this is now the second Christmas special produced by the Brazilian troupe, Porta dos Fundos, meaning “back door”. Last December the five-person group released its first Netflix film, The Hangover, which won an International Emmy for best comedy of the year. The film reportedly “follows the adventures of Jesus’ disciples after…

“Jesus did live and historians say he was crucified,” Sky News host Andrew Bolt wrote in the Herald Sun this morning. Bolt, a self-described agnostic, was introducing a 10-minute segment from his Sky News program The Bolt Report. The piece features Anglican pastor and scholar Dr Mark Durie and addresses some of the historical facts that even unbelievers cannot avoid. In the video, Bolt explains, there’s no bigger story in the world to fact-check than the story of Jesus Christ. “No story has been more important, really, in being such a force for good as well, and I speak as…

I want to address the black-pillers out there, and not just the black-pillers but those who have friends, or family or people in their lives who are black-pillers. The Western world is assailed on all sides. Not only has Christendom failed to maintain its glory, but we have also imported all the pagan ideologies which enslaved the peoples of the rest of the world. We converted the Vikings, we made devil worshippers and human sacrificing heathen, who raped and pillaged the coastlines of Europe into the builders of the great northern European churches and castles. We did a lot of…

Some readers may have struggled with the drought for years, and now, especially in NSW and Queensland, may be confronted with the more immediate threat of fire. Television brings the story to the wider population, but it tends to have a deadening effect too. To watch uncontrolled fire for a minute, then sit through an advertisement for something one does not need, and then, worse, have to endure an ad for Bride and Prejudice, would desensitise anyone’s moral sensibilities. Given all that, what is the Christian to make of what we call natural disasters? 1. We are to do good…

A 48-year-old Bible translator has been murdered at his home in Cameroon, the second translator to be butchered to death in the region in just two months. Benjamin Tem, who helped to complete the New Testament translation into the Aghem language in 2016, was murdered at his home in the Wum region on Sunday night, according to reports from Efi Tembon of Oasis Network for Community Transformation. While the attackers have not yet been located, locals have blamed Muslim Fulani radicals. In a post on Facebook, Tembon said: “He was attacked last night by people suspected to be pro-government Fulani herdsmen.…

If you’re going to engage the culture, or offer any sort of political commentary, chances are someone will eventually ask you where you align politically. We might have a basic idea of what people mean when they refer to themselves as Republican, Liberal, Conservative, Democrat, Libertarian, and so on. But is there any reason we should be limited to the categories usually offered us? Perhaps there is a better option. During a lecture at New Saint Andrews College in Moscow, Idaho, Doug Wilson said, things in our public life are so gummed up that he believes we can openly call…

More than 1,000 people at Kanye West’s latest Sunday Service event in Louisiana have committed their lives to Jesus Christ, according to a pastor at the event. The service, which West’s pastor, Adam Tyson, described as an evangelistic outreach/worship event, was held at Bethany Church, Baton Rouge, and was said to have attracted about 6,000 people. In a post on Instagram, Curvine Brewington, pastor at Crossroads Church in Lafayette, said: “In a crowd of 6,000 people from all walks of life, all ages, and all races, I witnessed over 1,000 people respond to the Gospel by raising their hands to…

There has been an increased interest in Christianity recently after rapper Kanye West released his latest album, Jesus Is King. Google searches for “Jesus”, “Jesus is Lord” and “What do Christians believe?” spiked with the release of West’s gospel-themed album last week, while #JesusIsKing was trending across social media. Bible Gateway also reported a ten-fold increase in searches for “John 8:33” and “John 8:36,” two of the verses mentioned in the song ‘Selah’.  Following the release of the album, the American Bible Society (ABS) set up a website offering free Bibles to Kanye fans interested in learning more about…

The new Australian Rugby League Commission chairman has said he has no tolerance for people like Israel Folau, who put other people’s lives in danger by quoting the Bible. During an official press conference, ARLC chairman Peter V’landys said he will not welcome Folau back into the game, suggesting publicly expressing a biblical view of sexuality will result in gay-bashings. This game is inclusive. Israel’s comments are not inclusive. When I was a kid and kids used to get bashed up because they were different, I used to go and defend them. And a lot of them, it’s because their…
