Finland Prosecuting Christians For Sharing Their Faith!

[Dee]

You can be a Christian in Finland, just don't discuss it, or share Biblical theology.

My understanding is both talked about queer theology vs Biblical theology.

Apparently a big no-no in Finland.

I fully realize not all countries have a constitution such as we have, but many have some sort of protection for rights under natural law.
  Heavens, in 1215, king John signed the Magna Carta at Runnymeade..the Canadians have their "Charter of rights and freedoms", adopted in the 1980s.
    ...Plus, most have some sort of such document , if only to keep the population content and quiescent.

   The way these documents are being ignored world wide, almost forces one to believe that there is a mighty evil force..asserting itself around the world.

   so once more..... BEWARE !!!

Well ironglow, scripture describes satan as "the prince of the air". He is responsible for all evil.

In Finlands' case here, they aren't "persecuting" Christians, they're "prosecuting" them in an alleged court of law.

i dont know why you are so surprised. its been known for a long time that the beast would attack the great harlot

[ironglow]

   It sure seems that when a government prosecutes a group without good cause..they are persecuting them..  Almost goes without saying...

Of course they are.

I was auditing this thread and related material. Is it possible to get a copy of the pamphlet in question?
And maybe a copy of the law?

What is being banned? What is the “it”?

[ironglow]

  No surprise there....

  "8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake."   (Matt 24:8,9)

Not true. Some religions such as Islam is being taught in United States public schools.

  Some religions such as Islam is being taught in United States public schools.

There is the teaching of a religion, like one finds in Sunday school. Then there is teaching about a religion which is a history lesson. Which is it?
The first one is prohibited by the establishment clause of the First amendment. The history lesson…..i don't see how that could be done without doing a general history of religion….
I wonder how that is fitted into the curriculum.

I can understand the great concern that some have about the long term effects of this trial. When is a statement of belief a hate crime?

It’s not clear Finland’s hate crimes law even bans controversial speech, but Finland’s top prosecutor is arguing that it does. If the prosecutor wins the case, it would mark an unprecedented expansion of identity laws that exist in most European countries, many U.S. cities and states, and that U.S. Democrats are trying to make a nationwide law in The Equality Act.
