Australia: Admit your sins to God, priest tells gay judge

Glad to see as ever that somethings remain static. In New Zealand, a priest has advised one of the High Court judges, who happens to be gay, that he needs to repent his sins or face the wrath of God. Well, ya know he is a judge, so far I would imagine he is doing quiet well without the wrath of God but anyway, here's the story.

Australia: Admit your sins to God, priest tells gay judge

A senior minister of a Sydney Anglican parish has made an extraordinary attack on Australian High Court judge Michael Kirby, warning he would face the wrath of God if he remained unrepentant as a gay man.

The rector of St Stephen's Church in Bellevue Hill, the Reverend Richard Lane, denounced the judge for calling himself a Christian Anglican while living in an openly gay relationship and warned as a "messenger, watchman and steward of the Lord in the Anglican Church of Australia", he faced God's judgment.

To call himself a Christian Anglican was a "perversion of truth" and to continue to do so without changing his lifestyle would brand him, like Herod, a "coward, a liar, a deceiver" and a "lawless one".

"I appeal to you to cast yourself on the mercy of Jesus … That is admit your sin, confess your wrongdoing and turn in humble repentance to the Lord Jesus, who alone can forgive you," Mr Lane said.
