Chalebert- I don't believe God cares what happens to our bodies after we die. If He could form the first man out of the dust, if He could form a whole galaxy with just His word, do you think it would be any problem for Him to find the molecules that formed our bodies when we die - even if they were scattered over the whole world? When a person loses a body part or life due to accident, fire, etc., when he meets the Lord in the sky do you think he will be minus that part or just a cloud of ashes? I don't remember seeing where the Lord tells us how to dispose of the deceased. He is more concerned with our state of the soul. Bless you- Debbie |

Cremation is like Hell! Except that the body is not consumed. So why do it? Also, what ever form our eternal bodies take, you can be sure nothing of this phyical world will be part of them. |

tomn- Cremation is nothing like hell. In Hell you are aware. It is eternal seperation from God. It is total isolation (perhaps you can here the cries and wails of the other damned) and yes, it is a constant burning, as scripture states, but you are never consumed. With cremation, the remains can be treated with respect. This may get some controversy, but when Jesus rose from the dead, He had His physical body but it was transformed. We will be seen as He is when we are called by Him either before death or after. And we will be recognized by others as Samuel was recognized by Saul. I also think all our disfigurements and scars will be washed away at that time, or if they aren't, whey will have no importance, because all we will see is the Savior and the Savior's light in each believer that is with us.

glory777,did you see I said "except the body is not consumed"? Are you agreeing with me that Jesus transformed body had nothing of this physical world in it? Would it be more clear to say that with cremation the remains cannot be mistreated? If so, is that one reason you approve of it? | ||||||

No, I do think that Jesus body did have some of this world in it, as far as appearance and some functions go. Remember, He ate with the disciples after His ressurrection, He walked and talked and had a body that could be touched and I assume was warm to the touch. However, the molecular structure was changed because He could walk through doors and vanish and reappear where He wishes. I also know that we will see the bodies of those saints who have died before, join the Lord in the air when He calls, before we rise to meet Him. So, no matter what state our bodies are in at death, or if there is an intact body, it will rise when Jesus calls, whole but transformed. By your reasoning, those people who were burned at the stake, those who have been dismembered or consumed by animals or who have lost parts of their bodies will not have those parts or will not be able to join the Lord with a body. I say if He can make man out of dust, He can find those parts or put together the ashes to form a body, changed as He is. Personally, I don't care what happens to my body after I die. I just think cremation is easier and takes up less space and you don't have to put the burden on your children and grandchildren of going out to a grave site and crying over a stone and bringing back painful memories. You also don't put them through the day or days of sitting and looking at a dead body and going through hours of exhaustion. (My husband says we have a burning barrel in our back yard - that will be just fine with me!:) Deb |
