You are probably familiar with the following terms:
What makes these statements so believable is they originate mostly from your church pastors, doctors and professors of theology. Well, let’s see what the Bible have to say...
If you consider yourself to be a Bible believing child of God, who wants to obey God as best you possibly can, but you or a loved one is considering cremation as your last wish on earth, simply complete the following questions and answers. This will certainly give you or your loved one(s) a very good indication of how well you will be obeying God’s commandments, related to your last will and testament, to have your body cremated after you die. This will help you to see the very clear distinction between what the Bible says and what your Pastor or church says.
Question 1
Did you know that God will turn Satan into ash? Yes, it’s true. We read this in the following passages:
Eze 28:14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
Eze 28:15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
Eze 28:16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
Eze 28:17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
Eze 28:18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
Eze 28:19 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.
Take note of verse 18 where God says that He will bring forth a fire which shall devour the Devil and turn him (Satan) into ashes. Now, if you are a Bible believing child of God, would you knowingly and willingly choose the same fate as God had preserved for Satan, for yourself?
Question 2
TOPHET is a place where archaeologists unearthed thousands of children’s bones. These children, from young children to babies, were burnt alive as a sacrifice to the god Molech. God later changed the name of Tophet to: “The valley of Slaughter”, because of the brutal, barbaric slaughter of children which served as burnt (cremated) sacrifices in idol worship.
Jer 19:5 They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings unto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my mind:
Jer 19:6 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that this place shall no more be called Tophet, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of slaughter.
Note what God says: this barbaric practise did not even enter His mind. He never commanded nor spoke of it!
(Baal, Molech and Milcom are different names, amongst others, for the same god)
Let’s look at the meaning of “Tophet”.

Tophet – Word Number H8613
tof-teh'
Tophteh, a place of cremation
Did you get that dear reader?
A Place of Cremation!
Question 3
Scripture contains a multitude of passages related to this despicable abomination, but we will only look at a few, just so we get a basic understanding. (Please see “Cremate or Bury, what saith the Bible” by the same Author, for more information)
Eze 16:20 Moreover thou hast taken thy sons and thy daughters, whom thou hast borne unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed unto them to be devoured. Is this of thy whoredoms a small matter,
Eze 16:21 That thou hast slain my children, and delivered them to cause them to pass through the fire for them?
Did you get that? God calls this:
“WHOREDOM”
Question 4
2Chr 28:3 Moreover he burnt incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burnt his children in the fire, after the abominations of the heathen whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel.
God declares it an ABOMINATION OF THE HEATHEN to burn bodies with fire. This is the reason why God only uses this abomination on the condemned in His own anger and wrath!
Question 5
Again…
THOU SHALT NOT DO SO!
THIS IS AN ABOMINATION!
Deu 12:31 Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.
God says: “Thou shalt not”, but the church says: Thou shalt! It's your choice; you are your own god.
Now look at the verse that follows directly after the one above: (See if it says that you shall do what your PASTOR commands you to do…?)
Deu 12:32 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.
If God calls this practice an abomination, a whoredom, and God explicitly commands us not to do it and even tells us not to add or diminish anything from it, ask yourself the following questions:
Can we add to it what the church and preachers of today tells us and accept cremation as not condemned by the Bible, by God even?
Can we diminish from it and state that we are not cremating to Molech, therefore cremation is not condemned by the Bible?
Question 6
I would like to remind you of the following very significant event and God’s feelings towards this abomination, which drew God’s wrath in a frightening manner!
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:- [ashes]
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:
God is so appalled by the fact that Moab burned the bones of the King of Edom to ashes, that God will send a fire to devour Moab because of this hideous act of “cremation”.
In addition we have to consider the fact that Edom is an eternal enemy of God. If God then casts this horrible punishment onto someone who burnt the bones of God’s enemy to ashes, how in heavens name can we justify cremation? Read these verses again and ask yourself how it is possible to teach that God has no problem whatsoever with cremation? This is a tremendously significant revelation regarding God’s feeling, related to the burning of bodies to ashes dear friend!
If you have answered “Yes” to any of the questions above, you may continue with your decision to be cremated, but be very aware of the fact that you will be disobeying God in every sense of this repulsive, heathen act! Good luck. You don’t even have to read the rest of this book…
1Cor 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
1Cor 3:17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
1Cor 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
