Greetings Barbchil! Simply put, whoever told you that cremation is a sin was incorrect. Cremation is mentioned in the Bible, but it is never condemned. The following verses mention cremation: 1) 1 Samuel 31:12 - "all their valiant men journeyed through the night to Beth Shan. They took down the bodies of Saul and his sons from the wall of Beth Shan and went to Jabesh, where they burned them." 2) Amos 6:9 - "And if a relative who is to burn the bodies comes to carry them out of the house and asks anyone still hiding there, ‘‘Is anyone with you?” and he says, ‘‘No,” then he will say, ‘‘Hush! We must not mention the name of the LORD.”" 3) Joshua 7:25 - "Joshua said, ‘‘Why have you brought this trouble on us? The LORD will bring trouble on you today.” Then all Israel stoned him, and after they had stoned the rest, they burned them." 4) 2 Kings 23:20 - "Josiah slaughtered all the priests of those high places on the altars and burned human bones on them. Then he went back to Jerusalem." 5) Amos 2:1 - "This is what the LORD says: ‘‘For three sins of Moab, even for four, I will not turn back my wrath. Because he burned, as if to lime, the bones of Edom’s king," The sin in the last verse appears to be a descecration of the royal tombs of Edom. As you can see from these passage, there is no mention that cremation is forbidden and it was done, though not usually by the Hebrews. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
