Bible Question: Is it anywhere in the bible that states we should not be cremated after we die?Please give chapter and verse if it is. |
Bible Answer: Hi Lizah, I don't think that cremation apposes God. In Gen. 3:19 it says, In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto the dust shalt thou return. Also in Gen. 40:19 it says,Yet within three days shall Pharoah lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee. Here it's saying that the flesh is destroyed in another way. Also in 1Cor. 13:3 it says, And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. In 1 Cor. 15:50 it says, Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. So you see the flesh is not worthy of inheriting the kingdom of God. I hope this helps. In Love, Serenetime |
