Would You Be Willing to Stand? Religious Persecution Comes to Finland

Religious persecution is already here in the West—and it’s increasing. Now, some Christians will cry “foul” on this, pointing to the much worse religious persecution currently happening in countries such as China. But intense persecution doesn’t usually begin overnight—it begins with small acts of persecution and discrimination, such as that which recently took place in Finland. Once such “doors” are opened, then they are pushed open more and more over time.​

In 2004, Member of Parliament in Finland and former Minister of the Interior Päivi Räsänen published a booklet on the Bible and sexuality. Well, over a decade later, in 2018, she spoke on a radio program about Jesus and homosexual behavior. Then, in 2019, she posted Romans 1:24–27 on social media to call out the Finnish Lutheran Church for joining an LGBT pride festival. This MP is now being charged with three hate crime counts and can face up to six years in prison if convicted—for speaking the truth about homosexual behavior as the Bible clearly teaches about it.​

Just because my persecution is worse than your persecution does not mean yours is not persecution. I think that we Christians in America can realize that what is happening to us is not as great as the persecution of those who are being imprisoned, tortured, and executed in other places -- while at the same time understanding that what is beginning to happen here is a type of persecution.

Sodomites are rising up in powerful places, like in the days of Lot and Noah, signs of the times.
They have always been here, but there is an explosion of homosexuality now.
Demons are out and about spreading their evil doctrines and swaying more and more people.
One of the gay lies, is God made them that way, born gay-transsexuals in their brains, so must be good.
They though have corrupted themselves, God did not do that, but God does give them over.

Genesis 6:12
So God looked upon the earth, and indeed it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.
Genesis 6:13
The Ark Prepared
And God said to Noah, “The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
Genesis 6:17
And behold, I Myself am bringing floodwaters on the earth, to destroy from under heaven all flesh in which is the breath of life; everything that is on the earth shall die.

The first destruction by water, the coming second sudden destruction by fire.

Matthew 24:38
For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark,
Matthew 24:39
and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.
