[QUOTE="Steven Bobb, post: 30507383, member: 736329"] Thank You for sharing that,and this is a subject I brought up in a blog a long time ago, and have thought about.Although nowadays it seems like everyone is jumping on the creamation bandwagon, as I hear them talk and they say they have plans after death to do it.I personally am NOT a fan of it,as I notice it has too many connections to paganism. Like, look who does it. The Hindus, who, in their pagan beliefs,think they're "purifying the soul" with this "ritual". In the Bible, look who did it--the Israelites, who were under the guidance of God,were always buried.{Even Jesus, for the 3 days, was in the tomb.}Who got creamated?It was the pagan tribes who fought against Israel.So although it became extremely popular now, I always had my suspicions about it, but me or many other Christians on sites that answer Biblical questions couldn't think of actual verse against it. So I appreciate that you did.{Anyway, when something "catches on" out in the world, and all the "copycats" start doing it, usually that's a worldly trend.And one "temptation" is that it's less expensive than burial, and you know unsaved people would do about anything for money,even if it's ungodly.So thanks for the verification.
