Is cremation a sin

Answer 1

Answer:

Sin is the transgression of the law (I John 3:4). The law is the Ten Commandments... and they don't comment on cremation, or even burial procedures for that matter.

The foolish human concern about cremation, of course, is the fear that God won't be able to "piece the person back together" for the resurrection from the dead. But, think about it... people die in burning buildings almost everyday. Others are lost or buried at sea and become fish food. What is God to do?

"...someone may ask, 'How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?' How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else. But God gives it a body as He has determined, and to each kind of seed He gives its own body... so will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body... The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven... and just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so shall we bear the likeness of the man from heaven." (I Cor.15:35-49 NIV)

Dying isn't a sin... nor is the treatment of the body.

"...we will all be changed..." (verse 51).

Answer 3

if you mean morally then it just matters on your decision cremation could b done if you want to be taken somewhere special and be slowly thrown into the wind or spread into a sea

Answer 4

The Catholic Church legalized cremation some years ago. let the dust settle- in a proper receptacle, however. No funeral custom should be trivialized.
