“wife, mother and many other Americans have a cultural taboo”
It’s contrary to Christian teachings. I would sooner violate the law of the state regarding cemetary burial than violate the law of God against cremation.
“It’s contrary to Christian teachings.”
How?
“It’s contrary to Christian teachings. I would sooner violate the law of the state regarding cemetery burial than violate the law of God against cremation.”
Can you please tell me which scripture prohibits cremation?
How so?
I know a lot of people feel that way and I respect those feelings. The big government-funeral industry alliance have, unfortunately, exploited those feelings as a way to line their pockets.
Japan, Korea, Taiwan and many other Asian country have millions of Christians where cremation is the only option. I don't think Jesus Christ considers them any less Christian by the way they lived their lives just because their burial options were limited.
Can you explain further how cremation contradicts the law of God?
Thanks, ‘Pod.
I agree with your second statement; but, I (not being a Bible scholar) have no knowledge of a scriptural ban on cremation. Can you help me with that?
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.
