Just about every Christian I know does not think cremation is wrong. We have conversations about it and I am always astonished by their reasoning (or lack thereof). They say they will get a new body anyway. I give them tons of Scriptures and historical precedent. They shrug.
Cremation was originally done to prevent demonic possession of the body. And, yes it's biblical. The demonologist Nathaniel J. Gillis will have the exact quote.
Covid aside, there is a cremation rabbit hole that no one wants to go down. It is quite new and was considered pagan not too long ago. What's the deal?
Have you ever looked up the word "holocaust" in a pre-war dictionary?
I think the embalming process is kind of creepy. Corpse is a cold hard shell with lots of makeup.
So maybe they were creeped out by seeing an embalmed corpse at funeral and decided they rather not be seen that way at funeral, hence rise in cremation.
I don't recall the bible giving instructions on proper burial and funeral
So your argument is that we should never use the beginning of covid as a basis of comparing two time periods? 🤔 seems awfully ignorant of quite a few happenings- purposefully and apologetically ignorant
Burn the evidence.
Literally
Covid has funeral relief funds. I don't know when they expired, but I know cremation is the cheapest, and inflation has to play a part.

So people that died in house fires won't be resurrected by God either? This belief puts limit on God's infinite power. Just doesn't make sense...

Interesting side car: many people are returning to religion.
