Legal persecution of Christians and Christian doctrine on human sexuality. This is not the liberal state Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland, but a mission started to uphold historical Christian faith and practice.

Interesting how the USSR died and now the West is adopting their tactics to use against our own people.

Makes me wonder when the liberals will start gulags for the Jews and the Christians.

Perhaps the prosecutor never read the Bible which is very clear on the subject.

Jesus was very clear..They are going to hate you ,because they hated Me first.....

I don’t know the status of the Catholic Church in Finland but this should be of interest to Catholics as the issue with homosexual sin and the law will certainly be the same with Lutherans and Catholics.

“concluded no laws had been broken. The booklet was published in 2004; Finland legalized same-sex marriage in 2017.”

Perhaps they will be gracious and give him a pass since his book was written in 2004 and go after anyone who writes such a book from now on. :-)

In their daily prayers Christians should include this paraphrase of Martin Luther's imprecatory prayer (from E. Pless, What Luther Says [St. Louis: Concordia, 1959], p. 1100):

We pray that Finland's prosecutor-general Raija Toiviainen be converted and cease the persecution and prosecution of Dr. Päivi Räsänen, Rev. Dr. Juhana Pohjola, and their Christian teaching, and if not, that the doing and designing of Raija Toiviainen and Finnish officials supporting her efforts be bound to fail and have no success and that Toiviainen and those officials perish rather than the Gospel and the kingdom of Christ.

So we, too, pray for our angry enemy, not that God protect and strengthen the Finland prosecutor-general Raija Toiviainen in her ways, as we pray for Christians, or that He help her, but that she be converted, if she can be; or, if she refuses, that God oppose her, stop her and end the game to her harm and misfortune.

Eleven years ago? It was not even the same world then.

Rev. Dr. Juhana Puhola was not ‘inciting against a group of people’; but rather just passing along a message from Someone who the Finland Prosecutor General cannot charge, and to whom he will someday have to answer to his great dismay.

“Finland legalized same-sex marriage in 2017”

According to the Finnish Prosecutor General are we to take it that the government of Finland is now able to undefine sin?

[Salman]

Sodomy is not just a sexual practice.

It is the official religion of the international ruling class with no room for apostates, enforced by the full weight of state power.

It will take more than politics to reverse this.

Finland was on my list of bolt holes.
