Full title: Finnish Politician, Pastor’s Wife Accused of ‘Incitement of Hatred’ Over Booklet ‘Male and Female He Created Them’

HELSINKI — A lawmaker and pastor’s wife in Finland who was already being probed by police over a social media post in which she questioned the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland’s partnership with a Helsinki Pride event is now also facing a preliminary “incitement” investigation over a booklet that she wrote 15 years ago entitled “Male and Female He Created Them.”

The Office of the Prosecutor General of Finland issued a press release on Monday noting that while Päivi Räsänen’s 2004 publication — which remains online — “takes a stand on ecclesiastical policy, social policy, sexuality and marriage in regard to the Bible and its interpretation,” Prosecutor Raija Toiviainen believes the text potentially constitutes a hate crime.

“According to the prosecutor general, there is reason to believe that because of the defamation of homosexuals by the violation of their human dignity, Ms. Räsänen is guilty of incitement to hatred against a group,” it explains. “Therefore, there will be a preliminary investigation in this matter.”

Submitting to the LGBT agenda is equivalent to taking the Mark of the Beast.

Don’t take it!

So, accusations by the LGBT community sound like “incitement of hatred” towards Christians, no?

We are going to slide from the criminalization of Christianity to the criminalization of sanity.

Very foolish to be attacking the Holy Writ but the Almighty One will not be moved by the corrupted.

Matthew 5: 11, 12 (NASB)

Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad for your reward in Heaven is great for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

At this point with the insanity,I ask why society just didn’t let the Nazis have their Reich knowing what we know now.

Well then how soon will the Bible be banned for hatred because it says that very thing?

Sodomites comprise only about two to three percent of the population of any country so it is truly amazing what tremendous power they wield in Western nations.

How can they go back 15 years?! The times were totally different. The accusations are sick.

A friend in the UK academic world remarked that using evidence and logic in argumentation is even now taken as a suspect tactic and a kind of covert Christianity.

Seems that the massive Hatred is of the Bible by those who will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

She quoted a 4000 year old book. That’s not hatred.

Maybe they will indict God for what he did at Sodom and Gomorrah about 4000 years ago. I remember that the Jews had God on trial during the days of the Holocaust and found him guilty of murder, so it’s not unheard of.

This is the insane & suicidal West.

China, Russia & others still immune from this & will likely remain so.

Our enemies are HERE.

It will soon be dead here, too, unless we stop it somehow. This cancer is already metastasizing here, now.

They’re the outlying bastion - and transformers are the patrolling sentries - defending the fortress of plain-vanilla heterosexual fornication and adultery.

If *anything* regarding sex can be immoral, goes the reasoning, that means there is a moral authority above my own appetite. And that means that what I want to do might be wrong.

And we can’t have that.

This is why “normal people” will smile and nod while a man pretends to be a woman, wins athletic events as a woman, goes to prison as a woman, when we all know he’s a man.

It’s like the abortion license: if you give an inch at the fringes, you might lose the whole ballgame.
