Bible Question: IS IT A SIN AFTER YOU DIE TO BE CREMATE? |
Bible Answer: Jesus said, "Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead." Mt 8:22 in response to a Christian requesting Jesus allow him to bury his father. I think Christ is emphasizing the importance of doing what He did, making disciples, over taking care of physical things like burial. I want to be cremated; I think it's better for the environment, takes up less space and isn't a sin at all. And I don't think Jesus would have said what he did if he thought the person's father's body would not be taken care of, but let's not worry about what happens to our physical bodies after we die. Let's focus on what we can give back to Christ Jesus our Lord while we're still here so that God will allow us into eternity. |
