A Message to VP Kamala Harris
I write to you as a Christian, deeply concerned with some of
the recent policies and perspectives promoted on issues such as abortion and
gender identity. While I acknowledge the complex nature of these topics and the
pain many people face in their personal struggles, I must express my conviction
based on the truths found in the Holy Scriptures.
The sanctity of life is a foundational principle within the
Christian faith. From the very beginning, God made it clear that human life is
precious and sacred. As it is written, “For You formed my inward parts; You
wove me in my mother’s womb” (Psalm 139:13, LSB). Life, in all its stages, is a
gift from God, and we are called to protect and cherish it.
It is important to understand that a woman does not have the
freedom to do whatever she wants with her body. While society often emphasizes
personal autonomy, Scripture teaches that our bodies ultimately belong to the
Creator. As the Apostle Paul writes, “Do you not know that your body is a
temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your
own” (1 Corinthians 6:19, LSB). Our bodies are entrusted to us by God, and we
are called to honor Him with how we use them. This divine ownership means that
we must align our actions, especially those involving life and death, with God’s
will and purpose.
The act of abortion, therefore, is not merely a personal
choice but a moral decision that involves the Creator’s design for life. The
decision to end a life is a serious matter that transgresses the trust God has
given us over our bodies and the bodies of those He forms within the womb.
Similarly, the issue of gender and identity is not simply a
matter of individual choice. According to the biblical understanding, “So God
created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and
female He created them” (Genesis 1:27, LSB). This creation is purposeful, and
altering it challenges the Creator’s design. Our identity is not solely a
personal construct but a reflection of God’s created order.
In the spirit of truth and love, I urge you to consider
these biblical principles that have guided the moral compass of countless
generations. As Christians, we are called to love and support those facing
difficult situations and struggles. However, genuine love does not mean
affirming decisions that contradict God’s ordained order and the sanctity of
life. Rather, it involves guiding others toward a path of truth, healing, and
restoration.
I pray that you, as a leader in this great nation, will
uphold the sanctity of life and honor the natural order established by our
Creator. May you be granted wisdom and discernment to lead with righteousness
and compassion.
Sincerely,
Hegumen Abraam Sleman
