A Message to VP Kamala Harris



Dear Vice President 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

برهان الروح والقوة

برهان الروح والقوة نشكر الله أن الضجة التي حدثت بخصوص تدريس وإستخدام الإنيا جرام في الخدمة قد هدأت. وبهدوء  أرجو أن أشير إلى أنه ربما لم يخطر على بال الكثيرين أن الخطورة ليست في الإنياجرام فقط، بل يمتد إلى التعليم والكرازة على أساس أي شيئ من علوم الحكمة الانسانية. مثل هذه العلوم قد تكون مفيدة لحد ما للانسان الطبيعي (غير المؤمن)، ولكنها لا تبني او تخلص روح الإنسان، لأنها تتجاهل عمل نعمة الله المخلصة، بل بالعكس قد تعطل الكرازة بصليب وموت وقيامة السيد المسيح وعمل الروح القدس . يضع القديس بولس الرسول هذه الحقيقة أمام أعيننا: " وَكَلاَمِي وَكِرَازَتِي لَمْ يَكُونَا بِكَلاَمِ الْحِكْمَةِ الإِنْسَانِيَّةِ الْمُقْنِعِ بَلْ بِبُرْهَانِ الرُّوحِ وَالْقُوَّةِ، لِكَيْ لاَ يَكُونَ إِيمَانُكُمْ بِحِكْمَةِ النَّاسِ بَلْ بِقُوَّةِ اللهِ" (1 كورنثوس ٢: ٤-٥). "أَنَّ الْمَسِيحَ لَمْ يُرْسِلْنِي لأُعَمِّدَ بَلْ لأُبَشِّرَ - لاَ بِحِكْمَةِ كَلاَمٍ لِئَلاَّ يَتَعَطَّلَ صَلِيبُ الْمَسِيحِ. فَإِنَّ كَلِمَةَ الصَّلِيبِ عِنْدَ الْهَالِكِينَ جَهَالَةٌ وَأَمَّا عِنْدَنَا نَحْنُ الْمُخَلَّصِينَ فَه...

سفر الرؤيا - إعلان يسوع المسيح: مقدمة المترجم

  يُعتبر سفر الرؤيا من الأسفار النبوية في الكتاب المقدَّس؛ حيث يتحدَّث عن أمور حدثت وتحدث وسوف تحدث في المستقبل القريب أو البعيد، وبالتالي كان لا بد من أجل فك رموز هذا السفر النبوي المختوم، فكان استخدام المنهج الروحيّ في تفسير سفر الرؤيا هو أنسب المناهج التفسيرية .  ونود الإشارة إلى أن المنهج الروحي الرمزي والمجازي في التفسير هو منهج آباء كنيستنا كنيسة الإسكندرية القبطية الأرثوذكسية. حيث استخدم المنهج الرمزيّ في التفسير عظماء مدرسة الإسكندرية ومديريها أمثال بانتينوس، وكليمندس، وأوريجينوس، وديديموس، وثيؤغنستس، وديونيسيوس غيرهم. وبالتالي كان استخدام المنهج الروحي المجازي في تفسير سفر الرؤيا هو امتداد لمنهج هؤلاء العظماء من كنيستنا القبطية الأرثوذكسية. ويتناول هذا التفسير الروحانيّ الآيات عسرة الفهم في السفر، والآيات ذات التفسيرات الشائعة، بصورة روحية أرثوذكسية تتناسب مع روح كنيستنا، وتتفق مع روح العصر وقضاياه المثارة الآن على الساحة، من انتشار الإلحاد والإدمان والإباحية، وغيرها من سمات الطبيعة الفاسدة والخاطئة الموجودة في جميعنا. هذه الطبيعة الفاسدة التي ننال النصرة عليها ببركات...

A Message to President-Elect Trump

Image
Dear President-Elect Trump, We thank God for His protection over you, especially during the recent assassination attempt, and for His guidance during these times. Congratulations on your election victory and the renewed trust the American people have placed in you. As you prepare to lead our great nation, I respectfully encourage you to stand firm on the principles of biblical truth, especially on issues such as the sanctity of life, the God-given nature of gender, and the sacredness of marriage. In a world that often drifts from these values, I hope that your administration will be a beacon for preserving the unchanging principles that God has established. Furthermore, I urge you to consider empowering parents in their right to educate their children according to their beliefs. Supporting families in choosing educational paths outside of government institutions—perhaps through financial support or tax benefits—would uphold parental authority and strengthen our nation’s commitment to f...
