You see dear friend, you cannot change what God says just because we are supposed to be “modern man” with modern cremation ovens and modern bone-crushing industrial blenders. God’s Word is settled in heaven, for ever!
Psa 119:89 LAMED. For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.
Whether you like it or not, whether you believe in Gods existence or not – you will appear before the judgement seat:
2Cor 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
Did you notice: it says to receive the things done in your body, whether good or bad?
Mat 16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
Mat 16:27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
Don’t lend your ears to anyone, especially me (the author), but please listen to YAHSHUA MESSIAH…!
Col 3:23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
Col 3:24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.
Col 3:25 But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
And if you acted as follows:
Amo 2:1 Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime:
Amo 2:2 But I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kerioth: and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet:
You will have to give account of yourself…
Rom 14:12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
Why?
Jam 2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
Jam 2:20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
Your defence that you listened to your preacher, after you received the truth, but turned like the dog to its own vomit, will not be accepted and furthermore, the big stunner - when God says:
Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
THAT’S IT!
THERE IS NO APPEAL PROCESS!
ENTRY DENIED – FINAL AND FULLY!
If you still don’t believe that cremation is evil, then do yourself a favour and look up the verses we quoted in this book an tear those pages from you Bible – this way you can truly declare there is nothing in YOUR Bible, against cremation.
Rev 21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
Rev 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Eph 5:6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
Eph 5:7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
Eph 5:8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
Eph 5:9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
I almost want to say that if you have yourself cremated, with full knowledge of the truth of scriptures, that you did not allow God to make anything of you when you were whole, how He will make something of you when you have been devoured by fire. (This is not blasphemy, but simply a metaphor, a figure of speech…) You may believe in God, but you do not CHOOSE God, nor His ways. However, there is a cosmic difference between believe, choose and do - my friend.
Eze 15:5 Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no work: how much less shall it be meet yet for any work, when the fire hath devoured it, and it is burned?
You will recall that God’s spoken WORDS, (in other words, scriptures) will judge us. This is of utmost importance dear reader. When you stand in the proverbial queue to receive your judgement, it will not be the pastor who will be judging you, but SCRIPTURES! GOD’S OWN WORDS! You will also not be allowed to defend yourself by stating that the pastor told you it was okay. Your instruction was to study the scriptures, period!
Joh 12:48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day
Please ensure that you don’t believe your pastor, but that you find your answers in the TRUTH OF SCRIPTURES:
Act 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
We will be judged by what we have done in our bodies, whether good or bad. We now know that our body does not belong to us, how can we then allow it to be sent through fire to worship the god Molech?
2Cor 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
For whatever reason, since I was small, I always thought that we will be like ghosts in the afterlife. I thought Jesus was like a ghost when he was resurrected. What’s more, I suspect a lot of people still believe this, which then makes it perfectly acceptable if we are cremated because you will not have any flesh or bones when you are resurrected, well…hold on for a minute there….
Luk 24:39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
Cleary, Yahshua had flesh and bones after being resurrected. I hope this tells you something which I don’t have to repeat.
On second thoughts, let me repeat…
Why do you think fire, nor the acid in the human liquefier,{d} cannot disintegrate our bones? Did God perhaps design our bones so that it may last? And now that we cannot find any process to destroy our bones, we go ahead and purposefully design an industrial machine that can obliterate our bones to a powdery substance and call it “ashes”? If this does not cause a stir in your senses then I don’t know what will…
1Joh 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
Php 3:21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
1Cor 15:48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
1Cor 15:49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
Mat 13:49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,
Mat 13:50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Mat 13:51 Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.
Can God resurrect humans that have been cremated? Absolutely! Will He do so? I think so. Why? Perhaps to give them new flesh and bone just before they enter eternity, the mother of all crematoriums, THE HELL! (Please note that this is a hypothetical figure of speech and not a “doctrine”! - It is not my intention to indicate what God will and will not do, neither to condemn people to hell, as judgement is for Yahshua Messiah only.)
Joh 5:28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
Joh 5:29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
Firstly: Who will hear His voice? Those who are in the graves or those in the ditch behind the crematorium together with animal bones? Those who are in the graves or those whose ashes are scattered on the country side or in the ocean? You can trust me in this – nowhere in the bible does it say: “and those whose ashes have been used as tattoo ink{e} will hear his voice and be resurrected” nor “those in memorial walls or ash-urns”.
Secondly: If you really stuffed up anyway, you will also be resurrected – for DAMNATION!
Mat 11:24 But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.
May I be so bold as to ask you, just as Yahshua did: “have ye understood all these things?”
And I truly hope you answer: “Yea Lord”
Mat 13:51 Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.
