La persecución finlandesa a la fe

Sigue siendo necesario, en un Estado de derecho como Finlandia, defender la posibilidad de compartir creencias que son parte de uno de los libros fundacionales de la cultura occidental

En la Edad Media uno podía ser juzgado por la Inquisición por decir algo que fuese en contra de la Biblia. En el siglo XXI uno puedo ser juzgado por tuitear un versículo de la Biblia. «Esto, que puede parecer una noticia de otros tiempos, es lo que ha sufrido Päivi Räsänen, diputada finlandesa durante más de 25 años, cuando cuestionó el apoyo de los dirigentes de la iglesia luterana finlandesa al evento LGTB ‘Orgullo 2019’ publicando un tuit con unos versículos de la Biblia. Ese fue el principio de un periplo policial y judicial que dura hasta hoy,» escribe Xavier Fàbrega, becario de Veritas ADF Internacional, en El Debate. Lea más aquí.

Statement of Faith

Based on our adherence to the inspired, infallible, inerrant, and authoritative Word of God in Scripture, we profess with the Christian Church throughout time and around the world the faith expressed in the Apostles’ Creed:

I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
On the third day he rose again;
he ascended into heaven,
he is seated at the right hand of the Father,
and he will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting.
Amen.

Yahaya Sharif-Aminu

In March 2020, a dangerous mob burned down his house and the Hisbah religious police, an official authority in charge of enforcing Sharia law, arrested Yahaya. Shortly after, the young man was convicted in a Sharia court for his alleged “blasphemy” and sentenced to death by hanging. His Supreme Court appeal has the potential to overturn Sharia-based blasphemy laws in Northern Nigeria.
