My beloved brother-in-law also died of AIDS in 1992. He got it in the very early years. I’m so glad they’ve got the drugs now to extend lives, but it is also sad what those people still have to live with, especially the depression and loneliness. You may not approve of the lifestyles that resulted in the HIV but you have to have compassion as a fellow human being and thus fellow sinner. Remembering that we’re all in need of God’s grace pretty much levels everything out.
Evens everything out?
Nope, it does not. We all need God’s mercy but engaging in utterly egregious behavior means such a person is rejecting His mercy. Everything is not all the same.
