Where I'm from if we are buried it's not in a tomb, it's 6 feet under ground. How will we rise again trapped in a box buried 6 feet under ground?? I myself would like to keep my body in tact... But my husband believes in cremation sigh, I don't know what my family will do with me when I die, they will probably go the cheaper route which is cremation.

I needed to know this, all of it.... I've walked through the fire too thinking that it was God purifying me, but now I know it was judgement because when I lost what I clung to when I lost it and gained the Lord Himself He gave me beauty for ashes in Him... Now I know for sure.. Thank you so so much for this truth.. I have been through the fire 4 times, I do not wish to go there again. But to obey the Lord Himself.

Sorry, but I fully disagree with this. Too much emphasis is placed on our current temporal physical body. When our current body dies, it will return to the "dust from where it came", meaning it reverts to the physical elements (e.g. carbon) it was made out of. We can even see this. To say that cremating this body is disrespecting it is a bit much. While we are in it, it is a "temple". Our spirit is what makes it "holy" (through Christ) now. But once we leave it (when we die - and death means separation), there is no longer anything "holy" inside it. It is merely "dust".

I never cared to listen to Billy Graham.

And because these flesh bodies are temporary because they go back to the dust of the Earth I can't see why it matters.

From what I believe it's the spirits within these flesh bodies that are going to be judged.

Plus, John said that we will have new bodies like Christ and we will see him as he is. That indicates he's not coming back as a man like he was when he was born of Mary.

Completely his preference and opinion. Absolutely not a command of Gods Word or of Jesus. When we rise from the dead obviously what remains of our fiscal bodies will remain where they are and our spiritual bodies will rise. It won’t matter if it is dust with bone fragments or ash from cremation or leathery mummies from Egypt. Our spiritual bodies will absolutely rise and go before Jesus and be judged by what we have DONE! That’s what matters. Not what we thought. Not what we said. And not what we believed. Our actions will and have proven to Jesus what we believe and if we have been obedient and it will be too late to DO anything about it. So now is the time to get busy.

If you have a scripture for this I will read it. Otherwise I will not listen to this man. He raked in millions using God for a platform. Read on of his books. It’s all about money!
