WHY should a Christian die of HIV/AIDS, if our cure has been provided in the cross for us?

Because religion is the least effective cure for anything.
2 :
God's will dictates what needs to happen, we can pray for healing but ultimately God's righteous will, will rule the day
3 :
Spiritually healed, not physically. His death has nothing to do with our life or suffering on Earth...only after.
4 :
Quit drinking paint. Nobody should die of AIDS. Yet religion teaches abstinence in Africa to curb it.. See how well that is working?

The Apostle Paul suffered much in his life and ministry. A litany of that suffering can be found in 2 Corinthians 11:23-27. Paul was killed for his testimony and according to universal tradition was decapitated after a long imprisonment. However, during this time, he wrote this testimony to Timothy: "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing" (2 Timothy 4:7-8). Another purpose for suffering is to be a witness to those watching that God's grace and strength is sufficient to enable a believer to stand in that suffering (2 Corinthians 12:9). Paul also gives us an example as to how we should view suffering as a child of God. "But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong" (2 Corinthians 12:9-10). And Paul also said, "For me to live is Christ, to die is gain" (Philippians 1:21). Therefore, however a believer dies, in suffering or in relative peace, it is but a transition to "face to face" with the LORD. Once that transition has been made, all of the sorrow and pain of the suffering will end. "He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away" (Revelation 21:4).

Because they ask amiss. Remember what you allow yourself to think, see, hear, say and do literally set into motion God’s creative powers that form the matrix of life’s reality you find yourself now walking so be circumspect. http://freecounselfreelight.homestead.com/Roberts.html tgmpray@yahoogroups.com TGM Moderator

A person who gets AIDS did it by not living a Christian lifestyle. God is not going to reward you with being cured when you are ungodly.
9 :
Our diseases are not universally healed genius. They can be healed thru prayer but we are universally saved by his stripes of the condemnation of death. Death and its power is a shadow to a christian. Why are atheists able to read words but not understand a single syllable? God Bless
10 :
What are you talking about? no TRUE christian would die of HIV/AIDS lol /endsarcasm
11 :
Why should Christians die of anything but old age, one may ask? The cross is for Christians' souls, not for any disease or accident the world may bring. You are, I think, confusing spiritual salvation with earthly comfort. I'm afraid we are all the same regarding the latter. C.

Our cure for SIN has been provided in the cross, not our cure for physical discomfort or sickness or distress or persecutions or trials or testings. In fact, we are told expressly that we WILL suffer in this life as disciples of Christ. Jhn 16:33 These things I Jesus) have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. - (this was said to believers)
13 :
"By your stripes we are healed" is speaking of salvation of the soul. Cures don't come from the cross. Don't forget, Christ cured many people before he was crucified.
