AIDS—AND THE DEEP REALISM OF SPIRIT

SINCE 1981, AT LEAST 25 MILLION PEOPLE have died of AIDS, and 11.6 AIDS orphans in Africa alone have been left as a legacy of this devastating epidemic. Although there has been slight decline in deaths in recent years, 33 million people are living with HIV/AIDS, according to UNAIDS/WHO. It's believed that many of these people will eventually die of the disease, which continues to claim lives at a rate of two million a year. At this point, there is no medical cure, although some progress has been made.

WHILE THERE ARE THEORIES ABOUT WHERE AND HOW AIDS AROSE, THE SPIRITUAL FACT IS THAT IT HAS NO SOURCE BECAUSE IT WAS NEVER CREATED BY DIVINE SPIRIT.
