Will Jesus RAISE The CREMATED?! (Here's what the BIBLE SAYS)

In this video I’m answering the question;

Will Jesus raise the cremated?

Or another way of wording this is, what happens to those who were cremated at the resurrection of the second coming of Jesus Christ?

I’ll start off by saying that God has not given us any specific direction, revelation, or a direct command as to what happens to Christians who were cremated.

There is nothing in the bible to point to specifically to answer this question.

There are some verses we can point to for guidance, however, and this is also a topic I’ve discussed at great lengths within the Christian community before.

A verse I want to share with you is Genesis 3:19, which reads:

“....you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for you are dust, and to dust you shall return.”

This verse is telling us that our physical bodies came from dust, and shall return to dust after death.

Whether that’s through cremation or just the general decomposition over time, it’s a clear message that it’s not the preservation of our physical bodies after death that matters.

After all, there are various things that can happen to bodies after death that are out of our control, too.

Another way I’ve heard this question answered before is simply that when
Jesus comes from heaven and metamorphosizes millions of bodies and works the miracle of resurrection, it’s hard to believe he doesn’t have the power to resurrect cremated bodies.

What happened after someone died according to the bible?

Cremation was practiced in biblical times, but it was not commonly practiced by the Israelites or New Testament believers.

In the culture of biblical times, burial was the most common way of resting a body after death.

Bodies were often laid to rest in tombs, as Jesus was buried, or in caves, and in the ground.

While burial was the most common practice, nowhere in the bible does is command burial as the only method of disposing of a body.

Do Christians believe in cremation?

Despite the bible not giving a command on whether or not we should cremate the dead, some Christians object to cremation.

They say that God will not be able to resurrect the body of someone who has been cremated and re-unite them with their souls and spirit.

I see some Christians pointing to 1 Corinthians 15:35-55 to make this point, which reads:

“It is the same way with the resurrection of the dead. Our earthly bodies are planted in the ground when we die, but they will be raised to live forever. Our bodies are buried in brokenness, but they will be raised in glory. They are buried in weakness, but they will be raised in strength. They are buried as natural human bodies, but they will be raised as spiritual bodies. For just as there are natural bodies, there are also spiritual bodies.”

However, as I already touched on, whether a body has been cremated or not, it’s no more difficult for God to resurrect that body and re-unite it with its soul.

What I say is that Christians who died and were buried thousands of years ago will be more than dust at this point, so how is that any different than being cremated?

I’ll end by saying that the question of cremation or burial is within the realm of Christian freedom, it’s a choice a person should make with the blessing of their loved ones.

I was determined to be buried as that’s been the beliefs of my family for generations. However, after reading comments and viewing the video, it reminded me when I was in the hospital and was nearing death. I remember being awake at 0200 and I sat up in my hospital bed and asked God to heal my body. The next morning, the doctor did one last blood test and where my blood test results showed no function of kidneys, my blood tests came back showing unexpected improvement and that continued. I have had full kidney functions as though nothing ever happened to me in the past. I thank God for keeping me on earth to spread his word and help others in many different ways. It is so rewarding and honored to know God loves me and decided to keep me on earth longer. That was when I was 53 and I just celebrated my 64th birthday two days ago. Thank you, Father.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, from dust you came and to dust you shall return.
Jesus can do anything.

Christians were burned at the stake, of course our Lord and Savior can reassemble us into our new glorified bodies, he IS GOD, and GOD can do anything, Praise Him✝️❤️

My wife was cremated. Her ashes spread in a Creek she loved.
She came to me after, just one time, to show me she was okay.
Nothing can be created or destroyed. The soul is infinite.

[fqijwer]

I don't care what they do to me after I die.
If the Bible says we will be given brand new bodies by God I believe it.
God is more than able

With funerals being so expensive, some people don't have the money, and cremation is the affordable way of still showing respect for their loved ones.

The soul leaves the body after death. You no longer need your physical body.✝️❤️❤️❤️🙏

[twoserve]

It doesn't matter how you died, as long as you lived for Jesus 🙏

My family were all lost in an explosion when their home blew up from a propane gas leak. I lost my father, an 8-year old niece and my grandmother. They were gone in an instant and left in ashes. My father and grandmother were born again believers and I know that baby girl was taken to glory as well. I will always believe this to my dying day when I myself will be cremated and will see them again in glory. Be blessed all of you today and every day....

Even when ashes are cast to the wind, the lord can reassemble you and make you whole again... This is the power of the lord.

[rebaramsey]

If God can speak everything into existence then how difficult could it be to raise ashes!?

Bob Marley said it best. Spirit is the journey. Body is the bus.

Noting is impossible for the MOST HIGH GOD 🙏

God can do whatever he wants. It doesn't matter if we are buried or cremated he can make us into whatever he wants. He is GOD.

[AKHWJST]

There is nothing that God can't do. He can raise the dead from the grave or from ashes. He is God. Hallelujah!

Mom was cremated, I was calm at her funeral. She was a great Catholic. I miss my mom so much. She has been gone some time, about 10 years, but I do miss her.

The LORD I serve can put me back together! HE is a big GOD!
