I'm a moderate glutton.Jon!!!... You are stuffing yourself right now to be stuffed... Don't you know gluttony is a sin?... Brother Glen
So then, Iguess I could tell you to “get stuffed” without you taking it the wrong way? LOL
Cremation and composting destroys the type. Jesus said to be planted in the likeness of his death we will be raised in the likeness of his resurrection. God buried the body of Moses. He could have burned it and accomplished the same thing, but he didn't. He said something about being bought with a price and For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit (soul), which are God’s. 1Co 6:20 It seems we should find out what God wants and see that it gets done.
What if God had burned the body of Jesus?
What if God had burned the body of Jesus?
Then it would have been a greater miracle when he arose from the dead!
It is a sad state of affairs when the world has all the influence over the church while the church becomes just like them. It makes one wonder what has happened to the Baptists.

In Toronto Canada their university medical studies department has an anatomy museum. There, if someone checks the box for organ donation there is a chance they could end up in a display.
People are also able to donate themselves to the medical school to further studies in a particular pathology.
Composting the dead is out there. Can't help but wonder if there's a corollary to the latest propaganda of "shortage" that's making its rounds.
Coin shortage, water shortage. Now? Top soil shortage.
Imagine. Aunt Eunice loved to garden. Right up to the day she died. And then, she became one with a garden.

“All the fat belongs to the LORD.” Lev 3:16 [NLT]
What if God buried the body of Jesus under the ground? Or worse, put him in a coffin, put the coffin in a vault, and then buried the thing underground.
Seems like contemporary funeral homes just don't want us to come out of our graves.
Joh 20:26 And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: [then] came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace [be] unto you.
Glorified bodies are not hindered by vaults and prisons.
Php 3:21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
I agree. And those who were cremated, burned up in a fire, perished at sea, decayed in the ground, eaten by animals, etc., if they are saved, will not be hindered either.
Fair enough Jon. You teach that God does not care because you reason that he has power to reconstruct it. I think I understand your position.
But God views the body as being asleep at death and I am glad the body of Lazarus was asleep in the tomb and that Jesus demonstrated how he can wake the body up by raising his body from the dead in John 11. If Lazarus had been cremated we would have lost the type.
The conversation went like this.
11 These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
13 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
14 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
Imagine that. Jesus still thought he was Lazarus when only his body was in the grave and he knew where he was.
The concept of being "asleep in the Lord" refers to our promised "awakening" in a glorified body when Christ returns.
See Matthew 9:24, Matthew 27:52, Mark 5:39, Luke 8:52, John 11:11, Acts 7:60, Acts 13:36, 1 Corinthians 11:30, 1 Corinthians 15:6, 1 Corinthians 15:18, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-15, 1 Thessalonians 5:10 and 2 Peter 3:4.
Everyone whose faith was credited as righteousness, if they physically died, is said to be "asleep in the Lord" simply waiting to be redeemed in a glorified body at Christ's second coming.

I can't go along with much of the reasoning in this post, but this guy does make a good point. Honoring the body is not about the survivors, it's about honoring and acknowledging the body's Creator.
I don't think the idea that says it doesn't matter what happens to the body once a man is dead really has the honor of God in it.
And funerals are, indeed, for the living. It is for them to be reminded that this is the end of all men.

Greetings,
No I would not, our bodies belong to the Lord, not for the corrupted Medical profession and their witchcraft practices.
Other persons have no right to my body parts, for their living longer purposes......."There is an appointed time for each human to die, then Judgement".
I'll stick to the Lord's Word......not human's pathetic belief's.
I dont think I would call the medical profession as a witchcraft practice.
and how do you think the medical profession is corrupted?
