Israel Folau creates more controversy after posting link to anti-gay American evangelist

ISRAEL Folau has linked to an evangelist YouTube sermon which warns of “sexual perversions beyond description” and takes aim at same-sex marriage.

Israel Folau has indicated he won’t be silenced after posting another controversial tweet.

ISRAEL Folau has doubled down on his public religious beliefs, posting a link to a YouTube sermon from an evangelist Christian who warns of “sexual perversions beyond description” and takes aim at same-sex marriage.

The 11-minute video from David Wilkerson, who died in 2011. preaches “we need to get right with god” while inter-cutting pictures of people with rainbow flags with fire, ticking clocks and rats caught in traps.

Folau tweeted on Tuesday: with great love, I wanted to share this video in the hope that people watch it and think about it. Jesus is coming back soon and he wants us to turn to him through repentance and baptism in the name of Jesus Christ (Acts 2:38) please don’t harden your heart.”

Folau’s latest public comments follow recent controversy when he suggested gay people would burn in hell for their sins on Instagram.

The Wallabies and Waratahs star was not sanctioned by Rugby Australia and defended his comments as being in line with his strict religious beliefs.

He wrote in a column for Players’ Voice that he would always prioritise his faith over his career.
