QUESTION: Why do those in Muslim countries not suffer from “aids” as much as those in Christian countries? Is it because Christians have refused to follow the laws of God that He has decided to bring this killer disease upon them?

ANSWER: The reason there is less “aids” in Muslim countries is that they do not engage in unlawful sexual activity as frequently as do those in other countries! Certainly however, it is true that “aids” is running rampant in many countries as a result of the refusal to follow Scriptural prohibitions against unlawful, homosexual, and adulterous sexual activity. If these illicit activities were non-existent, certainly there would be no epidemic of such. Nonetheless, we should not suggest that God initiated and brought the killer disease upon people, especially the innocent. He set certain laws (both spiritual and physical) in motion from the beginning. When man violates these laws, he brings consequences of his violation upon himself. So it is with the epidemic of “aids.”
