Oh. Even with that I think I will still proceed carefully. Neither post really states how he contracted AIDS.

Agreed, brother. Apparently, Rhoni knows about this situation since Chosen stated she would be visiting him next month ... [post 1]

Intimates it. But not to be accusing, which is not my intent, but I have heard such statements used as a "sanitized" covering for the actual problem.

I'm not sure I'm following what you and the others are saying.

What does it matter how he became infected with the AIDS virus? If he sinned and has since repented, then God has forgiven him. If it was by a needle stick or blood transfusion, would that make it more palatable to feel compassion on him?

I don't think anyone here is lacking in compassion actually.

Apparently you are ot seeing this the way I am thinking. Compassion is not dependant upon the circumstance. That is not the issue. But I don't feel we have the necessary details to offer blanket compassion and support. And I defintiely do not think that all of the details need to be posted here.

If there has been true repentance, which we are not even sure is necessary as we are not sure this person was/is involved in homosexual practices, then that is awesome. If there has been no true repentance then my compassion will be tempered with the admonishement to find repentance. Thus, careful compassion is the order of the day, IMO.
