Police are investigating a Christian politician in Finland for an alleged hate crime because she shared a Bible verse on Facebook to criticize a national church that participated in LGBT Pride festivities.
In the post, congresswoman Päivi Räsänen, a Christian Democrat, criticized the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland for participating in the Helsinki LGBT Pride events in June. Her criticism was alongside a picture of Romans 1:24-27 that describes same-sex relationships as shameful.
Her post made Räsänen the subject of a pretrial investigation by the Finnish Police for a suspected incitement against sexual and gender minorities.
The pre-trial investigations have not yet been completed. Police will provide more details once the investigations have been completed or presented to a prosecutor for consideration of charges, the Helsinki Police Department officer in charge of the investigation told the Helsinki Times.
Räsänen, who is a member of and is married to a pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland (ELCF), came under fire for her June Facebook post: How can the churchs doctrinal foundation, the Bible, be compatible with the lifting up of shame and sin as a subject of pride? #LGBT #HelsinkiPride2019.

People who have departed from the knowledge of the Lord apparently don’t like to be told that this thing they are doing or championing can be a literal sign to them and to others about the condition of their hearts and minds.
My gosh - is there any country “they” don’t infect with their stupidity?
How long before we see the same thing here? We all know it will. “They” just can’t help themselves.
“You have to be wrong because we are right.”
“We do not countenance an opposing opinion.”
The Lord never said it was going to be easy to be a Christian.
It’s already happening here at the local level. Tons of bakers, photographers, florists, farms, whatever have been fined/regulated out of business for not bowing to the gay god.
The whole way is narrow thing kinda indicated it would be tough.
Forgot to include 15:19. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.
Power, like anything else, tends to go to those who crave it the most. Unfortunately, these tend to be those who abuse it the most. Preventing that from happening requires perpetual vigilance.
That would show them that there is no room for hate!
Bump
seems pretty clear ...
Romans 1:24-27
24 jTherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, kto dishonor their bodies lamong themselves, 25 who exchanged mthe truth of God nfor the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them up to ovile passions. For even their 9women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the 1men, leaving the natural use of the 2woman, burned in their lust for one another, 1men with 1men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
“We were born this way.”
That means our maker -made an error ? No free will when it comes to the LGBTQs?...LOL
Pedophiles are “made that way” too, then.
“Hate Crime” = Thoughtcrime
George Orwell was the Albert Einstein of global politics.
It’s coming for all of us. Only a matter of time before the haters begin enforcing laws against Jesus here.
It sounds very much that the left is once again marching towards the criminalization of Christianity. They’ve done it before.
The woman quoted the Bible. Is the Bible soon to be a banned book in Finland?
How long?? It’s here already.
