A Christian politician from Finland has been formally charged with three counts of hate speech against homosexuals and faces years in prison if convicted.

Päivi Räsänen, a member of the Finnish Parliament for over 20 years, has been under investigation for social media posts where Räsänen showed a photo of the Bible passage Romans 1:24-27, which condemns homosexuality as a sin.

She is also charged for a pamphlet she wrote entitled “Male and female He created them – Homosexual relationships challenge the Christian concept of humanity.”

In which she said that God designed marriage for one man and one woman. And she’s also accused of hate speech for comments she made about homosexuality on a Christian TV program in Finland.

But Räsänen has said she does not apologize for her writings or for the writings of the Apostle Paul in the Bible.

Räsänen said: “The question is about the Bible’s teaching about marriage and sexuality. Ultimately, the three charges brought against me have to do with whether it is allowed in Finland to express your conviction that is based on the traditional teaching of the Bible and Christian churches. The Bible’s teaching is, however, (that) marriage is a union between man and wife and that practicing homosexuality is against God’s will.”

She said she will go to trial, “…with a peaceful and brave mind, trusting that Finland is a constitutional state where the freedoms of speech and religion…are respected.”

Räsänen added, “If the teachings of God’s word about sin are rejected, also the whole core of Christian faith is made empty: the precious sacrifice of Jesus on the cross for the sake of everyone’s sins and the way He opened into eternity.”

Finland’s constitution still instructs the state Lutheran church to “proclaim a Bible-based Christian faith.”

The Biblical prophecies (Daniel 8, Luke 17) foretell it will become as it was also in the days of Lot when transgressors will reach their fullness signaling the world is nearing the end of this age.

These events and conditions happening now are warning signs pointing to the nearing fulfillment of the Last Days prophecies at the end of this age revealing it’s time to prepare now for the nearing appearance of Jesus Christ for His Church by being born again spiritually into the Kingdom of God as Jesus said we must (John 3) and His Apostles who were authorized (Matthew 16:19) described how (Acts 2).
