Amos 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:

David did not commend them for cremating Saul. Earlier in the post from which I quote above, you quoted 1 Samuel 31:12 to try to support your point: 1 Samuel 31:12 All the valiant men arose, and went all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Bethshan, and...

You are absolutely correct that cremation is an intentional desecration of the physical bodies that God made for His glory. In the material universe, there isn't anything else that God has created that even remotely compares to the glory of the physical body (Ps. 139:14). Holding that upon death...

I have done no such thing. The passage is describing a historical event that reveals what godly NT believers did with their own who died. The Spirit has inspired that revelation for our profit (2 Tim. 3:16-17). The Spirit never commends cremation in any way.

Nothing in the NT supports intentionally burning or destroying the bodies of believers. There is a world of difference between what you talk about in these remarks and the wicked pagan abomination of cremation that intentionally burns or destroys the bodies of believers in some other manner.

In my reading through the Bible for 2025, I came to Acts 8 this morning and read the following: Acts 8:2 And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him. What do devout New Testament believers do? When their own die, they carry them to bury them, and they...

By importing data into Excel that I exported from BibleWorks, I have done extensive analyses of chapter lengths, words per chapter, and words per verse in the whole Bible. I have also created applications in Excel to generate sorted listings of where the accents are in every word in the Greek NT...
