I don’t see where God specifies cremation isn’t allowed. If so there’s a whole lot of people who’ve been burned to death who would have no hope. Not to mention during war where large number of bodies dropped and they burned them for sanitary reasons.

There’s nothing there but a shell..the spirit is gone...the person isn’t here anymore.

I’d rather know a body is “dust”...than slowly rotting away with bugs and worms about in the ground.

That’s not what Jesus teaches about the value of our bodies, and the duty for reverence towards the dead and human remains.

Again, cremation is what the pagans did to their dead. Christians have always buried or preserved them in some way or shape or form, *because* we believe in bodily resurrection.
