Folau claimed the devil was seeping through the government, which will in turn "slowly" affect the world and the rest of society.

He said: "You see in today's youths and everything, they are allowing young kids in primary school to be able to have the permission to change their gender if they want to by taking away the permission of their parents.

"Now they are trying to take control as a government to make those decisions for young kids who are basically 16 years old or younger, they don't even know what they are doing.

'GOD HAS CALLED US'

"This is what the devil is trying to do, to instil into the government, into this world, into society, and it is slowly happening."

Folau went on to urge Christians to be bold and profess their faith in the workplace even if they will be "cast out".

He added: "Are we too scared because we might be cast out by our workplace or cast out of somewhere because we're not liked or loved by those around us and don't believe the same thing we do?

"You might be the only born-again Christian in that workplace, you might feel a bit awkward with your co-workers because they are in the world and you're not.

"We should feel blessed … because God has called us."

Folau was sacked from Rugby Australia after he said "hell awaits" for "drunks, homosexuals, adulterers, liars, fornicators, thieves, atheists, idolaters".

The post's caption reads: "Those that are living in Sin will end up in Hell unless you repent.

"Jesus Christ loves you and is giving you time to turn away from your sin and come to him."

Rugby Australia said Folau had committed a "high-level breach of the Professional Players' Code of Conduct".

The controversial post amassed over 41k likes and 38k comments divided on whether he was right to share his views.

After his contract was ripped up, he refused to apologise.

He said:"It's obviously a decision that's in the process right now but I believe in a God that's in control of all things.

"Whatever his will is, whether that's to continue playing or not, I'm more than happy to do what he wants me to do.

"First and foremost, I live for God now.

"His plans for me are better than whatever I can think."
