more recently He sent AIDS to punish them, so we can see it is a worse sin than most others.
There has been much speculation about the source of the aids epidemic in man, one recent
study conducted by the University of Alabama and others suggests that it came from the
killing of chimpanzees for food in central Africa.
These same researchers would scoff at the instruction in the Bible about eating only clean
meats (Deut. 14), and yet, if they were correct in their assessment of the origin of aids in
mankind, God’s rules for food would have prevented the problem completely.

New infections are most prevelent from Male-to-male sexual contact.
Found in young gay men in Los Angeles, New York City, and San Francisco, back in 1981.
The United Nations has suggested that we need to commit billion per year in prevention
campaign to control the continued spread of the disease. They instruct people in the use of
condoms and how to clean needles for intravenous drug use, and to encourage more open
discussion about health between sex partners.
The simple solution escapes the intellectual mindset completely. That is this: Do not use
intravenous drugs, and do not participate in premarital or extramarital sex, or a gay sex life.
People by the millions are dying, and our leaders refuse to apply methods proven throughout
history to control the spread of contagious diseases. Instead, they want to talk about “better
communication between sex partners” and “safe sex.” As they repeat this useless rhetoric,
millions more become infected and will die.
The quarantine laws of the Bible, properly coupled with God’s perspective on sex and marriage,
would have brought a quick end to the aids epidemic. Countless people would have been spared
the suffering and tragedy they are now experiencing.
The “experts” feel God’s rules are too harsh and cause too much suffering, but that does not
make sense. Explain to a child whose parents are dead that it would have been too harsh to
quarantine the person who passed hiv to his or her mother. Explain to the infant born hiv-positive
that rules preventing his mother from getting aids would have been too severe.
Another problem our leaders have with regard to aids is the acceptance of inappropriate behavior.
One prominent author, in an article about aids, uses the sterile phrase “commercial sex workers”
for prostitutes—lending dignity and acceptance to this ungodly “profession.”
It is attitudes like his that have prevented health officials from taking a stand for quarantining
infected people and protecting the rest of mankind. The unwillingness of our leaders to stand for
morals and decency is a main contributing factor in the continued spread of hiv/aids throughout
the world. If the people in authority would take a stand for proper human values and a stand
against sexual immorality, this disease would be a small problem.
God pronounced severe punishment on those who have sex outside of marriage
(Deut. 22:20-24). Mankind continues to try to get around God’s rules. hiv and aids
prove that God’s rules were given out of love for all people. Following them would
result in the elimination of these dreaded diseases.
Prevention by proper living—both sexually and hygienically
—is the only sound way to stop these epidemics
“That means premarital, extramarital, homosexual and perverted sex practices
—all heinous sins in God’s sight—must be completely avoided by single persons
or married couples wanting to keep clear of these diseases as much as possible!
The Creator, for now, is letting human beings, for the most part, reap the natural
consequences of their own ways of living. But He always intervenes and punishes
nations in due time for violation of His laws, given for the well-being of mankind.”
