Another Example of How Far We've Come From Biblical Standards
By The Kinsella Bunch
This book by Donald Howard shows the ancient and modern pagan and anti-Christian philosophy behind cremation. This booklet convinced me on the issue, by simply referring to quotes from the OT, NT, early Church and modern times. I would heartily recommend it to anyone seeking to know the truth and see the evidence. It goes into a lot of detail surrounding OT, pagan and Early Church practices, and also modern Jewish practices.
Although he doesn't specifically say it, it shows how Gnostic cremation is by it's disregard for the body and the physical resurrection of all people.
I would go so far as to say it is wrong to cremate, based on Biblical and historical evidence. Though, don't get me wrong. I'm condemning people as heretics or lost if they do cremate or someone they love was cremated. The early Christians had many of their loved ones burned alive and the question came up about their burial. The answer was basically that well within God's abilities to collect up every atom of that person's body and from the earth, wherever it may be and reconstruct it again. That's a powerful God.
Here's my favourite part in the whole book:
"For over 1800 years, cremation was never considered in countries which had experienced widespread Gospel preaching or influence. Then in the late 1870's a few Italian chemists and physicians appear to have initiated the modern movement - an irony when one considers that the Roman Catholic Church stood almost alone in its opposition to the process for the next hundred years.
In 1877, cremation was legalized in Italy, the charismatic leader Garibaldi being cremated five years later.
The first cremation society in England was formed in 1874, mainly through the efforts of the Professor of Surgery at London University, Sir Henry Thompson.
Land was purchased for a crematorium, but the Home Office was hostile to the scheme and for a time it remained in abeyance (A state of temporary disuse or suspension). In 1884 a father was indicted for attempting to burn the bod of his child, instead of having it buried. The resultant legal judgement laid it down that the fathers act was not an offense against English law, unless it could be proved that a public nuisance had been committed.
With this encouragement, the Cremation Society pushed ahead and in 1902 an act of Parliament gave definite legalization to the practice. At the same time it exempted any clergyman from conducting such a service if he were opposed to the practice.
Sir Henry was first president of the society and strongly advocated cremation until his won death in 1904. A professed agnostic, he was the author of a short book entitled "The Unknown God", taking his title from Paul's sermon in Athens. His book claimed that God was merely infinite and eternal energy, and that truth could be learned only through empirical observation by man's unaided efforts.
Thompson belittled revelation and divine authority. He regarded Christ as a remarkable teacher, but really no more than a young Jewish enthusiast. In Thompson's view, any person of reasonable education would eventually become agnostic and discard any teaching involving supernatural revelation. At his death there were ten crematoria in Britain. After his death, cremations gradually increased, reaching 2000 per annum in 1922.
It is interesting that while the ancients justified burning on theological grounds, as did the early Christians in burying their dead, burning in modern Europe and Britain occurred within the context of strong assaults upon the Christian faith from secular philosophy of scientific materialism. Liberal theology had invaded the churches., and, though cause and effect cannot logically be established, spiritual regression and the progress of cremation ran parallel to each other. At the same time, belief in the resurrection of the body and of Christ Himself was decreasing.
In this way, burial lost its significance for the simple reason that death spelled the end of the body - a belief which is a clear contradiction of Biblical teaching."
I often buy this book to give away to friends and put in Church libraries. It is information people don't think of but is so essential to right thinking (orthodoxy).
