'Some scriptures in the Bible are senseless and utterly stupid' – Ghanaian Pastor, Mensa Otabil says

 

The general overseer of the International Central Gospel Church (ICGC) in Ghana, Pastor Mensa Otabil has said that some scriptures in the Bible are ''senseless and utterly stupid.''

While preaching to his congregants during a service which was aired by TV3 on Sunday, May 26, 2019, he explained the reason for describing some scriptures in the bible as senseless.

'Anyone who decides to subject some inscriptions in the Christian sacred book to critical scrutiny will have a lot of questions to be asked. This is because some stuff in the Bible are utterly stupid and senseless to critical thinking minds.'

Pastor Mensa Otabil also said, “why should I give while I’m supposed to save? It is senseless”

He added that some of these scriptures he quoted are the foolish, on the other hand, he cited, “If someone comes to your house and steal your fridge will you tell the thief to come for your television in addition? Mensa Otabil asked his congregants “how many of you can do it? There was no response, and then he stated, “it doesn’t make sense”.

Nonetheless, Dr. Mensa Otabil summed everything by saying, “The nonsense of God is wiser than the sense of men”. Thus, some of the inscriptions or if you like scriptures in the Bible do not make sense, however, no human wisdom can be compared to the senseless of the Ultimate Reality or God.''

Christian Australian rugby star, sacked after homophobic social media post claiming 'hell awaits homosexuals'

 

Christian Australian rugby star, Israel Folau has been sacked by Rugby Australia over homophobic social media posts.

The 30-year-old Wallabies and Waratahs player had previously been found to have committed a 'high-level breach' of the code of conduct over the posts he made in April.

Folau, a devout Christian said on his Instagram and Twitter accounts in April 2019 that hell awaits 'drunks, homosexuals, adulterers, liars, fornicators, thieves, atheists, idolaters.' 

The full-back had previously been warned over making homophobic comments on social media in 2018, but did not face disciplinary action at the time.

Rugby Australia chief executive Raelene Castle told a press conference:

'We are here to announce that Wallabies and Waratahs player Israel Folau has today been issued a sanction directing termination of his playing contract for his high-level breach of the professional players' code of conduct.

'The three-member panel of John West, QC; chair, Kate Eastman and John Boultbee, provided its final written decision today in relation to the code of conduct hearing over Folau's social media post on April 10, 2019.

'While Rugby Australia accepts the panel's decision directing termination of Israel Folau's contract for his high-level breach of the code of conduct, we want to stress that this outcome is a painful situation for the game.

'RA supports (players') rights to their own beliefs and nothing changes from that. But when we talk about inclusiveness we mean that we respect our differences as well.' 

'Rugby Australia did not choose to be in the situation, but Rugby Australia's position remains that Israel, through his actions, left us with no choice but to pursue the course of action resulting in today's outcome.

'This has been an extremely challenging period for rugby. This issue has created an unwanted distraction in an important year for the sport and for the Wallabies team.

'But our clear message for all rugby fans today is that we need to stand by our values and the qualities of inclusion, passion, integrity, discipline, respect, and teamwork.'

It was also reported that Folau, who has already lost one sponsorship deal over the issue, has 72 hours to appeal the ruling.
