Another believer with an alternate take on cremation that doesn't require body/spirit duality: God made man from dust, and even without cremation, to dust we shall return. It is really no trouble or extra work for God to raise the dead from scattered dust than it is for a relatively intact body, since that's what most resurrections would require anyway. Besides, when the resurrection occurs, we're getting better bodies anyway, so why worry about what happens to the old one? Intact burials are a tradition (which is totally fine), but not a commandment.
- rpmisms 2y agoI did say "Working from there, burial seems more appropriate." It's not about what God can or cannot do, it's about treating the body with the honor due as a member of the Body of Christ. Someone who is burned to death does not die at a disadvantage at the last judgement. > Intact burials are a tradition (which is totally fine), but not a commandment. Correct. I see your point, but lean towards tradition in cases of questions.
- vel0city 2y ago> treating the body with the honor due as a member of the Body of Christ Is cremation not being respectful? Burning something to retire it can IMO be very respectful.
