Sports Star to Be Jailed 10 Months for ‘Transphobic’ Message That ‘God Created Adam and Eve’

One of the most legendary soccer players of his time received a jail sentence and a fine for posting “transphobic” social media messages citing the Bible’s creation account.

“God created Adam and Eve,” wrote retired Greek football legend Vassilis Tsiartas in the second of two Facebook posts opposing a 2017 law that would have lowered the age to legally change one’s gender to 15 and removed other legal barriers.

The 49-year-old initially responded by saying, “I hope that the first sex changes will be made to the children of those who voted for this abomination.” Members of Parliament may as well “legalize pedophiles and complete their crimes” against nature, he wrote.

While citing the Book of Genesis, the 18-year soccer standout explained his faith-based objection to extreme gender ideology and the redefinition of marriage.

“Anyone can have his preferences whether he is a man or a woman, and I completely respect that. For me, however, a couple is only a man and a woman, the rest are just together. I’m not going to accept all the weddings, all the parades, and anything else they do as normal,” Tsiartas wrote. He said he had no time for anyone who claims “those who don’t agree are racists.”

Human “dignity,” he said, came from a higher power than mankind. “God created Adam and Eve. The rest [of gender identities] were manufactured for consumption,” he concluded.

Yeah

If not before, given what we saw on the anniversary of the invasion of Poland

I pray for God’s hand to move swiftly against the goats who are suppressing the Word of God and troubling Christians.

2 Thessalonians 1:6-9
King James Version

6 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;

7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,

8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

Imagine a world where the Bible is “Hate Speech”.

It's rapidly approaching that reality, for sure.

I'm so glad my time here is limited.

Are we better than Russia, or even China?

The prevailing view in the westerm world: “We’re a democracy; so we’re better than Putin, and we can transgenderize our kids — or do whatever the H we want — by majority vote.”

Science and Biology: XX and XY. Period.

Is the biblical citation really what they got him on? Because while he shouldn’t be jailed for ANY speech, this may have been (somewhat unreasonably) taken as menacing: “I hope that the first sex changes will be made to the children of those who voted for this abomination.”

Aman

[SaveFerris]

That verse always stands out (to me):

6 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you

[CraigEsq]

So the article says “suspended” fail and fine - meaning he won’t have to actually serve it if he doesn’t have any more legal issues.

[AppyPappy]

Not just the Bible. People being jailed for speaking against the approved narrative is what the Nazis did.

[Lazamataz]

JAILED. FOR QUOTING THE BIBLE.

Yeah, we are in the End Times.

these days, i’m leaning more tword... P144:1

[Boogieman]

I think they mean his soccer career was 18 years long.

[Organic Panic]

HOW THE HELL DID TRANNIES BECOME SO POWERFUL?

[EastTexasTraveler]

Other countries do not have freedom of speech, and it is under attack here.

And this in Greece, which along with ancient Israel, was the incubator of the Christian faith. I wonder how long before the Greek government tries to shut down the monastic republic of Mt. Athos, turning the monasteries into museums or hotels, or demolishing them entirely.

I’m surprised they didn’t try to force them to let women in Mt Athos.
