Cremation
I don’t understand so called children of GOD and Christians nowadays.
We behave like Hindus and we still want the presence of The MOST HIGH to be with us. We are busy doing yoga etc and calling on strange gods. No wonder, we have forgotten that our bodies are the temple of The HOLY SPIRIT.
In the book of Genesis, we are told that GOD made man out of soil or clay. HE fearfully and wonderfully made him.
After the fall of man, GOD told man that he came from dust and to dust he will return.
As far as I know, there is no account of people who count themselves as people of YAHWEH being burnt to ashes when they die. Fire is used to signify judgment. For example in the matter of Sodom and its sister city, fire was rained on them because of their sin and the cry that went up to heaven against them.
Adam was buried. Abraham was buried. David was buried. The prophets were buried. JESUS our SAVIOUR was buried but HE rose again and lives forever. Enough said.
Now there is a movement among children of GOD that has come up with very clever and appealing arguments for the incineration and or fiery destruction of the human body after death.
They say:
1. It’s good for the environment, there is no space in the world for all the graves. Lies. The LORD said from dust you came and dust you shall return. It is a set principle. There is more than enough space for all living or dead.
2. It’s good for the environment. Coffins are expensive. You save wood. Ok, bury people using a shroud if you don’t have wood. Let those with wood or access to wood bury their dead with wood. Just because you destroyed all your trees and you have refused to plant others , doesn’t mean there isn't enough wood. Note that trees, precede man.
3. Its cleaner and faster. My question is what’s the hurry? Secondly, isn’t it real gross keeping ashes of anything anywhere.
4. It does not matter, you will not be there. OK. But GOD is here and is all seeing and other people are here too.
Look, my take is as much as the world is doing things their way. Let us who are called by the NAME of The LORD do things HIS way. All things be done HIS way. Let us stop emulating idol worshippers and devil worshippers. Let us stick to the straight and narrow. Yes, they may outwit us in argument and policy, but we the redeemed of The LORD, let us honor The LORD in all we do.
In fact, if you can burn the human body after death what will you not do to it before it is born? What will you not do to it when alive?
Beloved, wake up, don’t blindly follow strange gods and strange practices in these days. As said earlier, our ancestors and heroes of faith were buried. Stop this Molech like practices that are against the creation of GOD, your body.
You argue and you say you are free. Free from what? Free where? You are a slave of CHRIST. HE didn’t have HIS body burnt. In fact, HE is still using it in heaven and here you are behaving foolishly ordering your loved ones to burn yours and in the process instilling this evil practice among the children of GOD.
Didn’t our LORD arise with HIS Body and go to heaven. Those who have seen HIM, say HE bears the marks of crucifixion and you fool, you are ordering us to burn your body?
And you Pastor, you are going there to offer prayers for people who are practicing Hinduism. Who deceived us? Who bewitched us? Even in life, when our animals die, we don’t cremate them? We say how terrible Hitler was and then turn around and do to our bodies what he did? We are in serious trouble, double minded and lost!
At the end of the day, it’s your choice, but every choice has consequences.
Repent. Rethink your ways and your plans. Better safe than sorry. You are not your own, you are bought with a price.
Beloved, the scripture informs us, "And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire." Revelation 20:15.
Do you want to know JESUS as your personal Lord and Savior? Your eternity is at stake! JESUS has opened the door of salvation to every person. But there is coming a day when the door will be closed. Today is the day of salvation. Choose to be in the family of GOD. JESUS died so that we can spend eternity in Heaven with HIM. Don't delay! And if you want to begin a relationship with GOD or resume a broken one, say this: O GOD, I come to YOU today. I know I am a sinner. I believe that JESUS died on the cross to save me and HE resurrected on the third day. I repent of my sins and forsake them. I confess JESUS as my LORD and SAVIOR . I invite JESUS into my heart. By this prayer, I know I am saved. Thank YOU JESUS for saving me and making me a child of GOD. Amen
