Ubenedictus: just a point or two, catholics do not bury or cremate non believers and in early xtian history d xtians forbade cremation becos it was used by does wu said "there was no resurrection of d dead". In recent times those law were turned, though burial is stil d preferable xtian practice, any xtian wu wishes to be cremated may do so inasmuch as he fully believes in d resurrection of d dead. At least from d perspective of a catholic. Thank you for your contribution. It made sense. But i wonder why this man was buried by the church then? |

truthislight: What about Moses body? deut 34:6- God selected a burial site at a secret location in Moab for Moses. deut 34:6 He buried him in Moab, in the valley opposite Beth Peor, but to this day no one knows where his grave is. 1 Kings 2:10: David Matthew 14:10-12: John the Baptist Acts 5:5-10: Ananias and Sapphira Acts 8:2: Stephen Joshua 24:29-30: Joshua Joshua 24:33: Eleazar 1 Samuel 25:1: Samuel They were all buried not burned! |

Lets take a look at some scriptural events, it seem that not be not given a proper burial was considered to be a great tragedy and dishonor. A prophet disobeyed God by eating a meal in a forbiden location. God laid a curse on him: that his body would not be buried in the tomb of his fathers. Shortly after, the prophet was attacked by a lion and his remains left on a road. 1 Kings 13:22 You came back and ate bread and drank water in the place where he told you not to eat or drink. Therefore your body will not be buried in the tomb of your fathers.' God laid a horrible curse on the Israelites: that many would die of diseases, will not be mourned and would be "like refuse lying on the ground". Jeremiah 16:6 "Both high and low will die in this land. They will not be buried or mourned, and no one will cut himself or shave his head for them. God laid a similar curse on Jehoiakim because of his pride and disobedience. Jeremiah 22:19:He will have the burial of a donkey--dragged away and thrown outside the gates of Jerusalem." It is clear that burying on the earth is God' traditional way, that is how His prophets were buried. |

plappville: Jesus did not give much emphasis on burial matters. He said let "the dead bury their dead". Lets not go superstitious about the dead and start attaching importance to dead bodies. To me, it is a nuisance and should be disposed off in the most thrifty way possible. Peace |

plappville: Lets take a look at some scriptural events, it seem that not be not given a proper burial was considered to be a great tragedy and dishonor. Ma sis pp. The means of cremation today is not an anyhow anyhow thing o! It has a procedure. plappville: ya, i think the cremated ashes can be buried, but it will occupy a very tiny space, maybe 1foot space. what do you think? They all will end up in ashes/dust anyway. So? |

truthislight: I did not think it is wrong or right, i just wanted to know the bible stands on this. My family have no history of cremation and as a Christian, i felt the need to dig deeper to know the bible stands on this matter That was why this thread was created. If i knew much about it, there would have be no need creating this thread. |

plappville:if u are saying dat a catholic church cremated an atheist, then i'm suprised, becos d church doesnt! I also have questions 4 d church. Actually unless d atheist had a death bed repentance, i dont see how he can get a catholic burial/cremation. Ur case is either untrue, made up or u dont have d full information. Some things just dont have ways around dem. |
