Today...

Today, Bishop Mari Parkkinen and her assistants ordained new employees to the Diocese of Mikkeli: three to the priesthood and eleven to the diaconate.

In the joint ordination, the chant was heard loudly and tears of emotion were shed.

Welcome to the work of the Church (from left) Hanna, Piia, Sisko, Minna, Päivi, Tiina, Mervi, Laura, Anne-Mari, Mari, Päivi, Mariina, Kaisu and Riikka.

Blessings and congratulations to the ordained and their families and congregations!

Women are not allowed to speak in church.

do lutherans really???

The absolute state of protestants lmaooo

Orthodox are schismatic muslims and catholics are fucking spic ethnic trash, MARTIN LUTHER OR NOTHING

fat lesbian atheist femcel feminist priests ONLY

Yeah I'm thinking us Orthodox made the right choice. The Finnish state Church is not even milktoast anymore, it's actively against the faithful.

These are the same type of women who become kindergarten teachers or welfare office clerks.

Does anyone go these women churches?

no

I'd set it on fire if I saw image of Jesus be desecrated like that. bitches literally printed out cheap paper and glued it incorrectly

This is why I am part of finnish orthodox church.

t. Russian bots

The Finnish state Church is not even milktoast anymore, it's actively against the faithful

memeflag

Finnish

Orthodox

Yeah you are a disgusting russian

Disgusting

Wth dude ur complaining about russian with that memeflag? Let me say that the church has absolutely lost its way and is indeed actively working against the faithful.

For my Finnish anons interested in more check out Pauli Selkee on YT

Don't know hat any of that means. What i say is in the bible.

Hope you had a blessed Ascension feast, brother

RUSSIAN SHILL DETECTED

Aren't Lutherans supposed to be against altar paintings and fancy clothes?

do lutherans really???

Confessional Lutherans? No. Pietist Lutherans? Almost never. Neo Orthodox larping as Lutherans? Almost always. Liberals larping as Lutherans? Yes.

This looks like the start of a porn video

women can't be priests

Protestants are niggers actually.

1 Timothy 2:12

But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to use authority over the man: but to be in silence.

Martin Luther stood for Sola Scriptura. Even the most egalitarian reading of Scripture renders female pastors and bishops, as the Lutheran church understands the term, impossible.
1. A woman can't deliver a sermon to a man, neither can she pastor a man.

I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet. (1 Timothy 2:12, ESV)

2. A woman can't ask a potential heretic for clarifications during his sermon.

the women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the Law also says. If there is anything they desire to learn, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is shameful for a woman to speak in church. (1 Corinthians 14 34-35, ESV)

Were you a Protestant in a church that got too heretical, who then went to the East rather than to a Bible believing Protestant church? Does that mean you agree with the Lutheran reformer Philip Melanchthon and Cyril I of Constantinople (Cyril Lucaris), in claiming that the differences between the Protestants and the Eastern Orthodox are almost purely cultural? They were both experts in both Eastern Orthodox and in Protestant theology.

The Lutherans kept the art and the vestments. They just made sure to inform the congregation that the art shouldn't be worshiped.
The Reformed got rid of the art, because they feared people still would worship it. John Calvin said that "the human heart is a perpetual idol factory." The Puritans were against vestments.
Some Lutherans later got rid of both art and vestments.

i see, thanks
i grew up around Reformed protestants so i tend to assume all Protestants are like them

They looks like reddit mods.

How are the differences cultural? Do you hold this view? Tell me.

This is your church on Lutheranism

Don't they have Catholic churches in Binland?

Based. Remember what you are fighting for finncucks.

Those heretics should be burned as witches.

I'm not familiar enough with the topic to hold any view, but I have discovered that many disagreements aren't disagreements, but misunderstandings caused by language barriers. The East will often object to Protestant names for ideas you find in the Bible, in the Eastern fathers, and in their own hymns. The Protestants will often object to Eastern Orthodox names for ideas you find in the Bible and in the Protestant confessions.
One modern example is what Protestants call cheap grace, an idea where the fact that a true saving faith will cause works (James 2:14) is ignored. The East will often assume that a Protestant talking about salvation by faith alone preaches cheap grace. The matter isn't helped by the fact that some modern Protestants actually do preach cheap grace.
Another modern example is if someone from the East translates Theotokos as "mother of God", rather than as "God-bearer". The idea behind the title Theotokos is that Jesus was God while He was in Mary's womb. A Protestant uneducated in church history will assume that the Eastern Orthodox confesses that there was a time when the Son was not. Since Mary was the mother of Jesus she was technically speaking the mother of God, but Jesus has always existed.

same with women prison guards. it comes from a pathological desire. these women are all insane.

I've never seen such a bunch of fat braphogs in Europe outside of the Green Party. Imagine the smell under those vestments.

In the past I'd have recommended seeking out the LCMS mission to Scandinavia to escape the state church hoes. But LCMS leadership has been fighting "nazis" like a bunch of cucks lately. I hope my finnigger Kai from Coventry is keeping it real in Finland now.

Women can’t be priests or bishops, what is this?

Are you familiar with the Stone Choir podcast?

No.

Priesthood? More like the baconator!

It can get confusing because a lot of the Evangelisch denominations contain both Lutheran and Reformed congregations.

You should check them out

I will.

Norgebror, you read the Apocrypha?

I thought nordic women were suppose to be attractive

I have read some of it, and I plan to read more.

Except the Orthodox Church of Finland falls under Constantinople's jurisdiction, not Moscow's.

What is even the point of this church, when it constantly changes itself to fit in with current year politics? It's just book club where some wear funny clothes. The only thing that separates this from all the Harry Potter clubs is the colour of the robes.

They are supposed to, but they refuse.

Protestants are Lutherans, and not Christian.

Very good. Yes, we can both agree that they “are useful and good to read“ as Luther said.
Tell me about Norwegian Bibles. I know more about German Bibles. Catholics have the Einheitsübersetzung for the Holy Mass, the EKD, the Evangelical Church Germany has the Lutherbibel which has gone through many revisions through the centuries, Luther making his own last edit in 1545, and I see Hoffnung Für Alle translation even here in some bookstores; I assume it’s like the NIV, the New International Version in simple language. Could you take a picture of your Norwegian Bibles with the Apocrypha? I want to see how many books there are in the Apocrypha: I’ve read that Anglican-based Apocrypha such as in the King James Version and its descendants have 1 and 2 Esdras, and the Prayer of Mannaseh which the Lutherbibel does not have.

Oh, yes. The Einheitsübersetzung means Unity Translation as Protestants helped translate the New Testament.

its not a competition.
just because the pope licked nigger feet and wanted to force the vaxx doesn't mean that protestants have to go all in with women
