I would suggest maybe that the normal burial today vs. Jewish burial I referenced to (Old Testament) is just as heathen as cremation due to the fact we duplicate (in part) the Egyptians in regards to embalming, preserving the body into the afterlife. I'm sure there is someone that would disagree with that, but there's a big difference in wrapping a body in linen, putting it in the ground vs the process of burial today. Embalmed and preserved for what............? I'm sure the environmentalists or maybe someone here would argue that point.

At least we stayed on topic.

Noooo...! Sorry. I didn't mean we stayed on topic and you didn't! I was just giving credit to the group for staying on topic. That doesn't always happen!

I just sort of saw how funny this group can be (now, no offense meant to anyone). You ask one simple question about cremation and you get a full on theological debate with 20 different opinions on one point or another. I was just looking at it from what I perceived to be your point of view as a person new to the board and it struck me as really funny.

Wasn't offended in the least bit.................got quite a laugh.

Yes..................lots of grenades hurled at this subject, yet there is some good meat to pull from it. Definitely picked up a thing or too...............iron sharpenth iron, 'eh?

This is a heck of a forum.
