Finland Politician on Trial For Sharing Bible Verse, Christian Views Reveals Why She Refuses to Back Down

Even after Räsänen was acquitted, prosecutors decided to appeal and take her case to Finland’s Supreme Court — something she said was “unbelievable.” Regardless of the international nature of Räsänen’s story and the chaos surrounding it, she’s not willing to back down because the stakes are high.

A member of Finland’s parliament who has faced a years-long legal battle after sharing a Bible verse on social media refuses to back down from her freedom fight.

Päivi Räsänen told “Higher Ground With Billy Hallowell” her legal battle began more than five years ago, when she challenged Finland’s main religious body, the Evangelical Lutheran Church, questioning why it had “decided to support, financially and publicly” a local Pride parade.

“It was a disappointment and even shock to me and many others,” she said. “Many of my friends decided to resign the church, and I was also praying … ‘What should I do now?’ I was very worried about this very public statement of the leadership of the church, because I was worried that it will undermine people’s trust on [the] Bible and its authority.” More Here
