Shalom. My mom a young Christian after a botched surgery which ultimately caused her death requested that she be cremated. I have experienced supernatural prophetic open visions, dreams etc since a young boy and was not walking with the Lord in full obedience at the time. After saying our last I love you's to each when my mom passed away peacefully in the Lord at the hospital, I stepped back and God had me look up at the ceiling. There my mom stood standing in a field of flowers chest high looking back at me looking every bit of a 30 year old or so looking back at me. A couple of weeks prior to her death she said son, I had a dream last night that I was in this garden that had these flowers with colors that we don't see in this world they were brilliant! I had an open vision of the rapture on Dec 30th 2021. As I was praying for Israel, I saw the earth about the size of my fist and all around was darkened. I suddenly saw people going up. Everything that God has showed me has come to pass with the exception of a couple. Lastly, I was laying in bed one day and I saw a plane careening toward the street that was closest to my bedroom. Lord is a plane gonna crash? I asked. The next day was 9/11. Brothers and sisters stay encouraged the Lord is coming back soon. Praying that someone will be encouraged by my comment. God bless you 😌🙏🏽
As Genesis says about returning to dust, there’s many ways your body can be returned to dust after natural death and it doesn’t matter which way that occurs, either by knowing so beforehand “planned” or not knowing so, not planned on how it’s returned to dust, God is still going to raise it back up either to eternal life or eternal damnation. That’s nothing to God. He has all power and nothing is impossible for him to do.
@@robertanderson1823 My cousin and her four year old daughter were burned to ashes in a horrible hotel fire where 19 people perished over 50 years ago. I truly believe their ashes will be restored by God. Our God is a just God and a loving God.
A lot of my family have been cremated and I will be also. Being buried has become such a money maker. Everything is costly. Jesus will always be in my heart.
God does not, can not operate outside His Character or He wouldn’t or couldn’t be God . Hope the Father sees us through the purest of pure , Jesus Christ, not wishful beliefs.
@@markjohnson7924God would not want His people who are poor to be forced into an expensive funeral of a dead body. It is criminal what a burial with vault and coffin costs. If God can find dead bones in the oceans, he’ll find me in my urn. Believe me, it is not my first choice, but I am poor. Family shouldn’t be burdened with the cost either. As primary caregiver to my 64 year old sister and her legal guardian, family has paid enough to keep us afloat. Do you have any idea how much becoming legal guardian in FL is? $15k-20K. My family is paying for it! Also, I had a tidy sum in my 401K but thanks to Obama I LOST it all but a few hundred $. Life happens and God is not surprised. I know that God sees us, and according to this preacher every soul in heaven. I don’t mind God watching over my doings, but everyone in heaven! Geez. How embarrassing.
My dad always said: “Let people have weird hobbies as long as they don’t believe that an extraterrestrial conjured up our universe out of nothing from the 5th dimension.” But then I had to tell my dad: “But that’s what they believe and they called this alien GOD.” My dad totally shocked:: "Dealing with religion is dealing with insanity."
@@marculatour6229Lol, religion may be insane but having faith that there is a creator is certainly not. The yearning to search for a higher power seems to be built in the human existence, undeniably so.
It doesn't matter if you are creamated or not. God is going to resurrect you no matter what has happened to our body. He is all powerful and can do whatever he wants
Besides, you can't control whether you are buried or cremated after you die. Our Father in heaven is bigger than this, as He is God who gives life to the dead and calls into being things that were not. Romans 4:17
Is GOD not big enough to even call back together the dust you where made of. Even the bones. When a body lays in tht grave for umpteen years; does it not turn to dust. The body is just a shell, your spirit will live on with a new glorified body in Christ Jesus. 1 Corithians 13:3. Paul isnt too concerned with giving his body to be burned. I Will seek out more understanding on this topic❤❤
And look at the poor people who are predisposing themselves to cancer & premature death from the carcinogenic properties of formaldehyde in order to embalm people for burial… where’s the Christian concern for their fellow human beings?
Thank u for this. My mom was cremated because she feared being buried alive. God Bless her soul. I hope to see her again one day in the air with Jesus Christ
I pray that cremation is okay... because my partner just died and he is cremated... and I have paid for my cremation also. This is because of money... I would prefer both of us be buried... but now we are both getting cremated... so I pray God forgives me and still accepts us both. But then I think of all the people that have been burnt in fires, eaten by animals... etc... what is important is that our soul/spirit is with God Jesus Holy Ghost... amen.
There are so many worse things. I believe cremation is the LEAST of sins (if it is indeed sin). i had my husband cremated also because of I could not afford burial.
My husband passed away last week and we are cremating him. I’m going threw a lot of emotions but i honestly believe in my heart that we don’t make decisions for God. He is powerful beyond what we can even fathom. The body left here is not what matters.
Thank you Pastor for teaching this. For those of us that still have doubt, here are a few more points from the Bible: 1. as God formed Adam from the dust of the ground, God can also re-form the cremated from their ashes since He knows our DNS as He even numbers the very hairs of our heads. 2. God can change non-organism to organism as Jesus said: God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones. 3. Jesus demonstrated God's almighty by changing water into wine and by restoring the sight of a blind using clay and His saliva. 4. God is faithful and trustworthy.
Love listening to Pastor Allen. My thoughts, very easy to get caught up in "guilt tripping" about cremation and condemning loved ones. Very Old Testament and legalistic. Jesus is the only way to enter God's presence. Jesus death and resurrection is the way. Accepting Jesus as my Saviour, repenting from sin, allowing the Holy Spirit to take control and lead me "more of God, less of me". God created me from dust, he will give me a perfect eternal supernatural body, buried or cremated. His judgement is not on my body, his judgement is on having the blood of His Son cover me so I can be counted into as part of his adopted family.
Shalom. The bottom line is, whether cremation or burial, a true believer will be resurrected. God's hands are not short. He is the Creator of the entire universe. Mankind cannot outsmart God thinking that by cremating the bodies of Christians (their enemy) they will put a halt to the resurrection promised by God to His believers.
The soul leaves the body. If the body is cremated , the soul is already gone. The body is just a shell whether it was buried or cremated. I myself at 71 yrs old have still not made that decision. All my beloved pets that I've raised in my life have been cremated. It, s okay. I still see signs that my pets are still with me when I think and talk to them in remembrance. Many people have perished in fires. You can't believe that God has forgotten them. Their souls are just as strong as if they were buried. The most important thing in my life is that my soul goes to my Lord and Savior and not to the darkness of no time and no space. We are dead a lot longer than we are alive. Eternity is forever , so prepare ourselves on earth as it will be in heaven. Make no mistake ! God is our Creater. God gave us Life, and God will take us home. Remember, Suicide is out of the question or the soul will have no time and no space ; ( for eternity ) . Pets and animals are sinless. That,s why they show unconditional love when they are loved back. We as humans were given the gift of a ( Free Will ). A Free Will to live and exist by the Words of our Creator or live and exist in the darkness of the Evil One. The decision is Ours. But Our Decisions are for Eternity. God Bless Us All ; because this earth is filled with both Good and Evil.
I am so grateful to have been led to this teaching!! Hallelujah!! I’m 55 and on may 9th 2010 I finally found my beautiful savior Jesus Christ! Since that day that I stepped out of the darkness and into the light, and into the loving arms of my Lord! I was raised in church but never knew Jesus! God watched over me and kept me safe while I was lost in deep dark sin! From that day that I was born again I had the burning desire within me to know everything about our most Holy, most loving savior so that I could return that same love to Him and to honor Him by studying His Word so that the passion I had to tell the world about the good news!! The gospel of Jesus Christ was not my words but Gods!! Like you ,I see in black and white! My passion runs deep for my Lord and savior who first loved me! I never want to become lazy ,and Luke warm! My dad used to be an elder in the church of Latter Day Saints. Today he is 93 and is a seventh day Adventist. Myself and my siblings have tried talking to him. Today I have shared this video with my brother who is my dads caregiver so that he might gleen the truth which you have shared with all of us that desire above all else to live according to Gods Word, to walk in faith and not sin! To know that some day , we who believe in the saving grace of our Lord Jesus! To know LOVE! To walk in peace and joy knowing that our Heavenly Father is always with us, that He loves us, and that alls we need to do is believe in Hud promises , and need not worry for nothing!! Oh how wonderful it is to know ,that now and for eternity we will always be surrounded by Gods love ! How amazing it will be!! Words can’t describe what it’s like to know the love that comes from our Father above❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️🙏🧎🏼♀️
Thank you. I didn't know that body cremation is unbiblical or as punishment or a curse. Nowadays cremation is very popular cos cheaper than real funeral....
Trust God. Your soul/spirit is most important. Your body after death is a shell. The spirit or soul lives on. I trust and believe that those who are cremated (pass & future) will see the Lord Jesus Christ those who believe 🙏🏽🛐 and repent and ask to be saved.
I also can’t put into words the feel of Gods love. A person would have to experience it for themselves. It’s AWESOME, BEAUTIFUL, HOLY,PURE. I could go on and on. HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!!!
It's all about faith. The God who created the heavens and the earth, angels, plants, insects, animals, fish, and the human race. Who knows every hair on every head in the world, has given every star a name, and knows all thoughts and actions of every human being who ever lived therefore He is able to find and recover every atom of every human body that was buried, cremated, blown up, eaten by animals or fish and will resurrect for eternal life all who obeyed the Gospel of Jesus Christ up until the rapture and all those that repent and accept him during the tribulation. He will also resurrect the ones who died believed or unbelieving and judge them also, if their name is not written in His book of life they will be condemned. He, is my God and is able, and nothing shall be impossible for God. That is how powerful our God is. He is bigger and more powerful just, and loving than we can even imagine. Blessed be the name of the Lord.
If this is so about cremation then people who die in house fires or similar tragedies would be subject to eternal damnation also. The Bible says once the clay vessel breaks the spirit departs back to God. GOD can resurrect/transform my spirit into whatever he decides. These traditions of men are never clear and always being debated. We should leave all judgment to GOD and let JESUS remove our sins. GOD bless you and your family.
That's your opinion but if you think that what he said today is from God think again for you are deceived. Many will no longer subscribe. This word was not from God, Jesus or the Holy Spirit.
@@bamaboy7489 The way he spoke about cremation has caused so much sadness, consternation, troubled & worried so many people in the comments who are condemning themselves, feeling guilty etc because they chose cremation for their loved ones due to what he said about our heavenly body. You just look at how much negativity he has created. He was wrong, cruel insensitive, thoughtless, lacking in love, empathy compassion, wisdom & knowledge. Cremation is not wrong & making people feel that their loved ones heavenly body will not happen & that burial is the only right & Christian thing to do was not correct. The only concern & emotion he showed was for his own mother who died & nobody else's relatives, children, family & finished it off with saying what a large gravestone he was going to have. I for one will not be listening to him anymore or this channel. My son died & I could have let it affect me but I looked it up & saw that his views are not what other preachers & teachers are saying. I also listened to a video by another channel I listen to where the person is really used powerfully by God in the power of the Holy Spirit with great wisdom, discernment, Biblical knowledge but in humility to find his perspective on thid. The way someone is either cremated or buried does not come into it. Most people cannot afford a burial either they were saying on here.
Too bad you're led by a worldly, self-centered man who's obviously into the Gospel for money & attention. He's spiritually immature if not spiritually dead.
Praise God I have found me a teacher!!! I'm 85, have been baptized in the Spirit for about fifty years, but my favorite teacher has died, and I didn't have a Holy Ghost teacher. A Pentecostal teacher. That was the problem. Now that I've heard Brother Allen's excellent teaching on tongues, and this teaching on cremation, I have found my man! I'll have to say it, most thorough teaching on both subjects I've ever heard! Thank you Father and thank you Allen! I can hardly wait to get into the other gifts of the Spirit that Allen teaches on. What I'd give to talk to him personally about the few questions that dog my mind. FYI I've always had a negative feeling about cremation. Bill Tate
Yes but bones stay intact long long after burial. Being cremated means that they’ll put your bones through a crusher after you’re incinerated. People call the bones ashes. They’re not ashes
@@biddibee3526 Many saints were cremated when being burned at the stake for their belief in God. God created us from nothing and He can recreate us from nothing. Beauty for ashes. Resurrection. God is not limited.
Bones are dust after a thousand years! You just skip the maggots and worms. (being cremated) You also skip the 10K financial hardship to your family. Your NOT coming back to this body! We look forward to a spiritual resurrection.@@biddibee3526
WELL I DON'T CLAIM TO KNOW THE BIBLE FROM COVER TO COVER BUT THIS PASTOR,, I LOVE HIM ❤️ I WILL THANK HIM IN PERSON WHEN HE AND I MEET IN HEAVEN OR NEW EARTH. FOR NOW, 🙏 THANKS.
I'm going to be cremated, I have little Life Ins. My family can't afford to add on to it. I'm born again. I have faith Yah Jesus will resurrect my body the same as any other Christians. "My life is in God's hands. I trust him". Whatever his will to be. 🙏✌️💜
Good thing burial or cremation is not part of the Gospel of Salvation otherwise a lot of martyr brothers and sisters would have not made it. Many of them burned, eating, their blood spilled all over. Many of them unwilling sacrificed to pagan gods (demons) by their persecutors. Resurrection is a mystery that will only be understood that day we are changed, in the blink of an eye. Burial is an expensive proposition. Imagine some of our brothers and sisters from third world countries where they can verily pay for a simple box to be buried; they bodies would be disintegrated in months, or eating by animals, or decomposed by the weather for the locked of good sealing material. I remember one raining season in Esteli (Nicaraguan). It rained so much, the caskets started floating downhill. We’ll, my point is that this is not part of the Gospel of Salvation.
They cannot stop the resurrection, from the bottom of the ocean to the top of the mountains from in the grave, or in an urn we all with here, the trumpet sound, and the dead in Christ will meet in the clouds first.🙌💯♥️ hallelujah, PRAISE GOD, Jesus Christ is the King of Kings - Our Sacred Savior, Our Beloved, saved by Grace, By the Blood 🩸, in Faith. John 3:16…♥️🌿🕊️.
I Praise Jesus every time that He leads me to a Spirit filled Pastor and his teachings! I am blessed in that I listen to the Holy Spirit and His guidance and in saying all this, I want to Thank you for Loving The Lord so that you are able too share with all of us the WORD in truth!❤
Sir you're so right on cremation! I try to tell people's it doesn't matter because God going to bring you back regardless....thank you sir, your answer was right on points👍
My older sister had power of attorney for my mom. She doesn't know the Lord. She had my mom cremated. My twin sister was also cremated. She didn't have any money and I had to pay for the funeral. Her children would not help. I know my mom and sister are both in Heaven. I feel very condemned after listening to this. Jesus paid for all our sins. There have been many Christians burned in churches, even what recently happened in Maui.
I personally don't believe this sermon to be very edifying. I have never heard it said before that Christians should be buried & not cremated. It has made me question his actual teachings as being from God. I shall not listen to them anymore. Don't feel condemned. My son was cremated as that is what I chose for various reasons. I don't think this sermon is very scriptural. Never heard of separating Spirit & Soul either. I don't believe our soul & spirit will be resurrected first & then much later our body is resurrected. I believe we will be resurrected at the same time & given a new body. A rather gruesome subject which is making people feel guilty for having chosen cremation which is not very compassionate, sensitive, understanding or thoughtful. Most people get cremated in the UK. There would never be enough room in the cemeteries if we all decided on bodily burial. We will only rot in the grave & become a skeleton & eventually we will be eaten by worms etc. God gives us a new heavenly body any ways.
Dear Jill - Remember that many good saints of the Lord were cremated as they were being burned at the stake, sacrificing their lives to the Lord. God honored them. You are fine and not at all condemned in the eyes of the Lord. And in their resurrected bodies, both your mom and sister will look as lovely and radiant as ever! God is not limited to a mere mortal's personal opinion or misunderstanding of scripture. Christ, whom John 1 tells us created everything that there is in the world, including us, created us from scratch and will resurrect us from scratch. No worries. God is the Brain and Creator here - not our limited thinking and shallow understanding. Man may condemn you - remembering that it was the religious people that condemned both Christ Jesus our Lord, and many followers of His. But God does not condemn you, and that is all you need to know. Rest peacefully in the Lord - He loves you like no other.
@@Blurb777 I am with you on this. What a terrible subject to bring up to bring guilt, doubt, condemnation & worry on so many people & have no concern with the effects this preaching will bring on people who chose cremation. Did you notice that the only time he got moved & showed emotion was for his own mother & sort of tried to bring up tears. Then he went on to boast about how he will be buried with a large gravestone. He showed no compassion for those who have lost children or their adult children. It is far more normal & acceptable that they die first. Rather a cold sermon with no thought of the negative effects on people who have chosen cremation. Our bodies only decay, rot & decompose in the grave. This natural process is only speeded up by cremation. "Obviously any buried body will eventually decompose (Ecclesiastes 12:7). So cremation isn’t a strange or wrong practice-it merely accelerates the natural process of oxidation. The believer will one day receive a new body (1 Corinthians 15:42-49; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; Job 19:25-26), thus the state of what remains of the old body is unimportant.”
Love you brother! You always have the most interesting messages! Trying to get closer to God and this channel helps. Honestly one of the few Christian channels I trust
Thank you Pastor Nolan.. you have become my church ..I have been saved for 42 years and have had to unlearn alot of false teachings..I thank God that you teach the unadulterated word from God. I left church about 5 years ago because of too much false everything..from preaching to the prophetic and it isn’t safe emotionally or spiritually.. I have not found a church in my area..but my faith is in God not the church ..it is a blessing to listen to you bring the word with clarity and touching on subjects or issues that we don’t hear anything on like cremation.. I love the father the son and the Holy Spirit ..thank you again for your heart for the truth..God Bless you brother.
Sorry, I had not listened to your whole message. I still repented because I did not feel right about cremation. I did it for financial reasons. After reading some of the comments, I feel much better. I also had a vision of bothy sister and mom in Heaven. I know when it is from the Lord. God bless you.
My Dad died in 2007. He didn't have a will. It was up to my 2 brothers my sister, and myself. We lived 250 miles apart, and I lived in a small town near my Dad.Something inside me felt very uncomfortable with the idea of cremation. I also knew my Dad was saved. I thought about the rupture. Most people pick cremation simply for the convenience and the cost,without giving any thought to life after death or the rapture. My one brother didn't really care what we decided, my brother and sister wanted him to be cremated (for the convenience of being able to have a memorial service at any time of their choosing). I went to a local funeral home and asked whatbwas the least expensive burial we could get. Cloth lined plywood casket, graveside service. When my brother called, I asked him what did he need for a memorial service. He said pictue of the deceased and optional an urn with ashes. So I said ,ok I can have him buried, and that won't prohibit you from having a memorial.service. We got my Dad buried, and a graveside funeral. I invited 4 people in my family whom I thought lived close enough to attend. I basically just let everyone know. 17 people in or family showed up, and they told me that they didn't have to memorial service. $3k including grave dig fee
The last ten minutes was the most impactful answer. Resurrection will be had to all bodies perished before he rapture. The method with which a person died does not matter. In fact when a person dies, the method used, burial in ground, at sea, with fire or explosion, etc., will not be your choice but the choice of those who handle your remains. Christ will resurrect, put all the pieces back together in the manner he chooses. So if you were born missing limbs, brains cells, etc., God will make things right at the resurrection. Thank you Lord for your grace in our lives and for providing teachers like Pastor Nolan to help navigate what can be confusing topics in life. At the end of the day, Salvation is king.
@@johngraham1274Americans always do this - no one can agree on anything, everyone pointing fingers at each other, condemning each other- this of course leads to not being able to trust anyone. It's just nuts ! I hate to say it, but America is so tiresome. Everyone says that only THEY have the truth. And everybody else is wrong, going to hell, etc. How did this happen ? No one even agrees on the basics.
@@johngraham1274So, how about just not listening to any more American Bible teachers. And all American Christianity is about is the money. Instead of love and spirit issues, it's mostly about money and things . Blechh!!💀💀
I believe that when Jesus gave us redemption, he tells us he came to fulfill the law. God is so powerful that he can find every piece of our old body and restore us.
I listened to a sermon one day while driving, I dont even recall the denomination of the one giving it. But basically their attitude was that even in the case of cremation there should be reverence and the ashes should be treated with humility and dignity as opposed to doing all sorts of willy nilly things with the remains. I liked that opinion very much. In fact, I kind of fought my sister in law over it regarding her Mothers ashes. Eventually her ashes were placed into an Urn and given a burial place with a headstone. Their father agreed with me and so did my wife. My Mother in law was cremated, because that was all she could afford. But we still have a place to go and humbly pay our respects. I think that is important, even if the final resting place is not necessarily in a "graveyard".
I lost my baby girl 9 days from her 3 months b'day. I had her buried in Auburn, NY. I actually lived miles away from that city. I knew I would move many more miles away from there. So as I left I knew I would always take her with me no matter where home for me would be. She is forever with me as part of me irregardless of where her body was buried.
My parents where cremated and then buried in a grave. My older brother, who still lives in the country where I was born decided it. My mother in law was also cremated, also buried after that. Her oldest son, my husbands older brother decided that. All of them were Christians. I can not decide yet what I want for myself. I know whatever happens, Jesus will find me.
Amen, they can't stop the resurrection. 49:00 It's wrong to say or think that those who decide what to do with your body after you die have any control of your salvation. Trust and put your full hope in God the Father and his son Jesus (Yeshua) Christ
I ve attended both types of Funerals cremations and full body caskets It really depends on what the person can afford and what they believe I know dif Cultures practice Cremetion as a Full out Ritual . The last bone to burn is the Sacrum the bone of Wisdom . Thank you for this teaching ...❤
Because of cost most people go with cremation. When my son died we chose cremation. Recently I saw a program on cremation but according to what they said, not I, that all bones are back to ash. But the only thing that couldn't be destroyed wasn't the bones. No oddly they said it waz the naval. What? It's skin but it can't be burned to ash. If this is really true why would that be? Could it be that that is where the silver cord is tied off. This is to me a very curious question. Just saying that is what I watched.
As for which King’s son was burned, it could be debated that The King of Moab burned his own son, and the King of Edom decided that Moab had paid for his crimes by the sacrifice of Mesha’s own son. As to Cremation being a sin itself; “If I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it does me no good at all.” 1 Corinthians 13:3 AMP Why would Paul & Sosthesus mention giving the body to be burned with love? What does it accomplish if the cremated does have love? I saw a comment on the is thread that stated, “God’s hands are not short.” I agree, nothing is impossible where God is concerned. My brother believes that ground zero in a nuclear blast may be intense enough to vaporize even the soul. I argued that the soul is the breath of God, and as such cannot be destroyed.
What he is saying about Cremation may be true, but what about those who die in a fire. Examples- house fires, airplane blow-ups, and crashes, Car crashes, etc...
"From dust you came and to dust you shall return." It doesn't matter if it takes 60 minutes or 600 years. What about the martyrs who were burned at the stake? Will they miss out on eternal life? It matters not.
Not all of us today can afford a funeral, in the time of our Lord Jesus Christ time's were very different, I can only be cremated, either way it's a good lesson Thank you 🌹
I have saved money for years to purchase a “hermetically sealed coffin” so that my body will not be plundered, pillaged and butchers, nor will I have my blood drained like a pagan Egyptian. I will be transported to a tiny cemetary where the only payment necessary is to pay the guy with the backhoe and a small amount for a spot (that money helps pay for area maintenance). My marker costs a small amount. No FUNERAL, just a couple people to accompany my body to the burial. It is not expensive and I would rather be obedient to Yahweh than look for an excuse.
@@higherview136well ,,,,,many of us can’t do that ,,,,nor do we have time to do that,,,many of us are old , very old , and have no money s@ved to this ,,,,,so l guess you are one of the lucky ones😳😳😳
I loved this …. Our bodies sleeping but our spirit is with Jesus and when the rapture hits our bodies will be resurrected and into new bodies like Jesus … my sister doesn’t believe that when we die we are spirits and go with Jesus I am so glad you taught on the segment because now I can explain it a lot better I knew when we die we see Jesus so many people who have died and come back I’ll tell you their experience
I really appreciate this study on the book of Amos chapter 2 specifically about cremation and burial. The church I am attending right now is doing a Bible study on the book of Amos. I enjoy how all the scriptures our interwoven together and reveals what we need to know if we rightly divide the word of truth. Shalom be upon you and the Cornerstone Fellowship Church.
B2. Psalms.16:10 You won't leave my soul in Sheol, Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see decay. Psalms.22:29 All who are fat on earth shall eat & worship: all who go down to the dust shall bow before him: & none can keep alive his soul. Psalms.23:3 He restores my soul. He led me in the ways of honor for his name's sake. Psalms.25:13 His soul shall live at ease, & his seed shall inherit the earth. Psalms.25:20 Keep my soul, & deliver me; Let me not be ashamed, for I put my trust in You. 11
Best. Death. B3. Psalms.119:25 My soul clings to the dust; Revive me according to Your word. Job.7:9 As the cloud disappears & vanishes away, So he who goes down to the grave & does not come up. 10 He shall never return to his house, Nor shall his place know him anymore. Ezekiel.18:4 Look, all souls are Mine; The soul of the father As well as the soul of the son is Mine; The soul who sins shall die. When we die, God's spirit or breath of life returns to God. Without God's Spirit, we do not have a living soul. The soul is dead & has no memory till God returns his spirit at resurr. It will be a blessing when pastors tell the truth. The pastor's interest is satisfying men & putting on a show. 13
I watched your whole sermon and I still don’t understand if you’re saying cremation isn’t a sin or not. There are so many people that just can’t afford it and would love to have that big tombstone with all that writing on inscription that you spoke about obviously if they had the money, but the ones that don’t which these days is most of us you just didn’t leave it where it felt that it would be OK I’m sorry that’s how I feel
to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord, 2Cor. 5:8 and when you be resurrected at the instant of decease (John11:23-26) you get a new body right then, that old body goes back to the dust from which it came (ECC. 12:7 & 1Cor.15:40-44), those that rise in Christ will be giving a celestial new body just like our Lord JESUS ( 1John 3:2) and not the terrestrial body the old body which is going back to the dust (Gen.3:19).
My Grandmother was cremated and I convinced her to do so because it is much cheaper and wise to leave that money for all of us left behind to put to good use in our own lives. I taught her that the real her was inside of her body and once she left it, she would not care what happens to her body. It ALL depends on the motive of WHY one would choose cremation. "Cremation," I think was forbidden in the bible because the MOTIVE was a satanic ritual. My Dad was also cremated too for financial reasons as it would have been very expensive to have his body shipped 100 miles to the cemetary. As painful as it was to pick up his ashes from the POST OFFICE and carry them home in my backpack before taking the them to the cemetery 8 miles from my house, that was the best way for him to choose to make his death as easy as possible for me.
Saxma, The Bible does not condemn cremation. The Catholic Church at one time condemned cremation. The Catholic philosopher,s back then have read the Bible and gave their people the information as they saw it. I was once raised a Roman Catholic. They always put guilt on their parishioners and prayed on the alters to themselves and I would watch them walk over to each other and do their worshiping among themselves and leave the rest of us to feel inferior to each other. Like we are not worthy. I know things have changed since then. The priests would talk in Latin while we just sat there. Not me. I went to another church were they involved us with testimonies and words of good feeling like we are just as worthy. Only Jesus will steer us to heaven. There are no Saints that can get us to heaven. According to Jesus ( we are all saints ). Indians have cremated their dead for as long as they've existed along with many other religions throughout this world. Don't beat yourself up over your family members that had themselves cremated. They are still with us. God Bless. With Jesus in your heart...... That's all you will ever need. I've never in my whole life have seen a Bible on the seats in a Catholic church. Only the priest's had a big one on the alter. What a shame. 12 years of Catholic school and I was never once showed how to look into a Bible . I didn't even know what a passage was. No priest or nun ever held a Bible to me. Not once. Why was this?
Thank you for explaining the biblical history of the resurrection and respecting the body in death. I enjoy listing to your messages. You answer a lot of my questions. I am a Lutheran. I accepted Jesus as my Lord and savior when I was 10 years old at a nondenominational bible camp and I renew my faith every day. I have studied my bible since I became a christian then. I am retired now so I enjoy listening to bible teachers very much. Thank you.
"Brothers and sisters." Would that not imply that dating one another is incest? What ar we doing to be an immitator of Christ and follow HIS example on how too achieve marriage since his own marriage, "the marriage of the lamb" will be occurring at the rapture.
I'm pretty sure it says we will be given heavenly bodies, and that there is nothing we can do to be plucked out of His hands. There aren't deal breakers regarding our salvation. If that WERE true, don't you think there would be more of a warning of that in the N.T.? Don't you think people like Paul would have let us know plainly and clearly NOT to be cremated? The essence of the Gospel is its simplicity. The price has been paid for us. Period. My repentance and confession of faith in Jesus has given me the gift of salvation.. And if our family can't afford to bury us, I'm sorry but that's not gonna make my salvation void. God made my 1st body out of nothing, I am pretty sure He can hook me up with my heavenly body.
@@bobbiepearson7142Am so sorry to hear about your nephew and will pray for him 🙏🙏🙏 God is merciful and loves us all and wishes us to repent and bring us through Jesus, close to Him. Keep the faith that a repented heart from our earthly sins moves our sweet Lord who is looking over all of us 🙏🙏🙏
Hello! I’m not trying to be rude or a keyboard cop, but I feel like I need to share that, for a pastor who is called to deliver the word of God, it is critical to use proper speech. The word “revert” means to go back to a former condition, practice, subject, or belief. To say “revert back” means to go *back-back*. It’s redundant. Also, have came is improper. The proper subject verb agreement is have come. The correct conjugation is I have come, I came, I will come. The word came doesn’t need the helping word ‘have’. I agree somewhat on this topic yet the bodies return to dust as scripture tells us. To return to dust is no different than being cremated. God only needs one molecule of who we were to restore us to our original bodies! I think the bigger message should be not to quibble over semantics of what was done in the past or why but to share with people that God is so much bigger than our understanding. To try to understand Him is limiting who He is or what he can do. To quantify the understanding to whether one should be buried in honor in a casket as a believer or in dishonor and cremated as an unbeliever is to say we knew that person’s heart better than God and can make that decision definitively, earth side. Some one who appeared to live a so called christian life and are “honored” with a nice funeral, may have been an unbeliever, a wolf in sheep’s clothing! We do not have the definitive call on knowing that. Burial is a very personal decision and judge people on how they do so is self righteous!
Dear Pastor Allen - Again …. Thank you for teaching God’s Word! God Bless You and Lisa & Your Whole Family 🤗. You have worked so hard studying the Bible! I really enjoy learning more than you know! I was raised as a Christian - but you have taught me so much more- Thank You So Much!!! 🥰🥰🥰
I love this Pastor. He not only speaks the truth, he follows it with many scriptures. "He's the best ever". He has a great spirit, and has a warm compassion heart. His messages come with a great sense of humor. Jesus and his mom are smiling 😇 proudly of him. May our Lord and Savior "continue" protecting and covering him with Jesus's blood. Hallelujah !!!!!!! 🙌🙏✌️💜😔Praise God for him.
Sometimes, like when you defined coemeterium you ask the congregation if they know a fact in such a way as to suggest that they are not smart or educated as you. Just a thought. I love your detailed teaching.
Not many, I know, understand about the ressurection will be on the Feast of Trumpets. How awesome that you understand this. It's "That day and hour no man knows." It makes perfect sense because the WORD says that the Trumpet will sound to call the dead forth from sleep. Congratulations ! 🙏
Pastor Allen … I totally understand and come into agreement with the sermon … however, what about those who were burned regardless of the reason, eaten alive or whatever means one dies, whereby there is no longer a body to bury … what about those souls? I mean look at the costs associated with burial vs. cremation. Do you not think the enemy has something to do with that? I have it in my Will that I requested a burial … however, my lawyer said it can still be overridden and I could end up being cremated, even though that was not what was requested. So how do you address this? There are many Christians who have been cremated over the years … they won’t go to heaven even though God promised if you believe in His son and that he was raised three days later, after he paid for our sins? Even after the Q & A I still hear it is a sin, if not a burial. I’m hearing that cremation is a sin because I’m a believer. Being too expensive is not a reason to not receive a burial. I know we’ll all be resurrected but what happens if there’s no body? I don’t feel you addressed that!
Well this is very distressing because I never considered that cremation was wrong in God's eyes! I've been a Christian since being a young child and I never heard a discussion on it. I always thought it was a matter of personal choice. I have my husband cremated and now I'm feeling very badly about it because he deserved the best. I hope that the grace of Jesus covers him and covers me for making the wrong decision. And I don't know if I will leave enough money to my family to do a traditional burial so maybe the Rapture will answer that question for me!
The Pastor, though quite learned, is going to great lengths to make the case that he thinks burial is better for him than cremation because of his study on the subject and that’s where his faith is on the matter. It seems to me he still doesn’t recognize his salvation is based on his BELIEF on what JESUS accomplished, (not on what he does)The scripture says, “He who knew no sin became sin on our behalf that we would become the righteousness of God.” Bottom line: Have faith in Jesus, not your works, because without the propitiation or total removal of the penalty for our sin, none of us meet the righteous requirement of the law which says that the wages of sin is death, but the GIFT of God is righteousness to those who BELIEVE. Thanks to Jesus, He overcame sin & its consequences for us!
I believe God is powerful enough to gather our ashes from the 4 corners of the earth. As He will need to do for all those who died by fire or other tragedy. It doesn't matter and besides they have made funerals so expensive who can afford it? My mom is in a cabinet and I always look to see if she's been risen up yet because the dead go first. So she's my alarm to the rapture!😊
A person is not going to lose their salvation because of the dicision their family members made that person has already made the decision to live for christ. That's the olny thing that is important
Also, Brother Allen, I learnt this from you on the glorified body. On the Day of Judgement, we are given a glorified body and not the same carbon body that will be resurrected. If thrown in hell, the earthly body cannot burn for all eternity because it will perish under hells fire. But a gloried body can burn for all eternity would out perishing.
facing that now with my adult son,s death, so awkward. after decades ( personally volatile )divorce , Which I didn't initiate I loved my children , deeply ( also with prophetic gifting) Shalom
cremation -elimination of the body cursing the soul to wander in purgatory, in eternal judgement since we will All be resurrected to the judgement. I remember when in my childhood elders and pastors would speak against cremation, years later I had forgotten... Thenk you for reminding me Why. Now it is clear to me, no more questions for me.
This is my first time listening to you 😊 You have explained alot that I did not know. I have always told my family members, and my husband that I do not want to be cremated when I die. I just have never felt comfortable with that. I want to be buried. My husband says, you will still go to heaven if your cremated. I tell him, it just doesn't sit right with me. Then I hear you tonight 😊 reassures my decision. Thank you for your speach (sermon)
Depends on the denomination with the beliefs are. Depends on your relationship with God. If you seek the answer in scripture you will find it as you pray and meditate on it. It's always there. God doesn't want your physical body He wants your soul.
What is the point of getting right with God repenting accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior if you are limited because you had to be cremated for being poor. That doesn't sit right with me and a lot of other people who can't afford a fancy coffin and a fancy burial. I would love to know your thoughts God bless you in Jesus's Name
@@lindaderrick9930 that's probably still going to run you a few thousand dollars. I don't have that I'm disabled am I going to burn in hell for being disabled, I don't think so! This man is wrong on this issue,
I will be cremated because it's all that I can afford. I have no one but myself and I live on social security. However, I believe that the God that created me will recreate me only next time my body will be perfect! I am not deliberately committing a sin. I enjoy the teaching of this minister but this particular sermon will cause many besides me to worry, dread, and even fear that I will go to hell because I can't afford a funeral.
I signed up about a year ago for a $25 000 life insurance through my local credit union. Only paying $4.00 a month. This way my burial cost is covered and my family doesn’t have to worry about my funeral cost. Thought I share this with you to check with your local bank or credit union.
When we die, our body returns to dust, so it does not matter burned or not, because we are getting new bodies to live in heaven and if we are not saved we will get a body made to suffer in the lake of fire for eternity.

Shalom. My mom a young Christian after a botched surgery which ultimately caused her death requested that she be cremated. I have experienced supernatural prophetic open visions, dreams etc since a young boy and was not walking with the Lord in full obedience at the time. After saying our last I love you's to each when my mom passed away peacefully in the Lord at the hospital, I stepped back and God had me look up at the ceiling. There my mom stood standing in a field of flowers chest high looking back at me looking every bit of a 30 year old or so looking back at me. A couple of weeks prior to her death she said son, I had a dream last night that I was in this garden that had these flowers with colors that we don't see in this world they were brilliant! I had an open vision of the rapture on Dec 30th 2021. As I was praying for Israel, I saw the earth about the size of my fist and all around was darkened. I suddenly saw people going up. Everything that God has showed me has come to pass with the exception of a couple. Lastly, I was laying in bed one day and I saw a plane careening toward the street that was closest to my bedroom. Lord is a plane gonna crash? I asked. The next day was 9/11. Brothers and sisters stay encouraged the Lord is coming back soon. Praying that someone will be encouraged by my comment. God bless you 😌🙏🏽
Amen.

Gen. 3:19 ''.... For dust you are, And to dust you shall return.” Whether by cremation or naturally, dust is dust. 🙏
yes, very true... blessings... amen.
As Genesis says about returning to dust, there’s many ways your body can be returned to dust after natural death and it doesn’t matter which way that occurs, either by knowing so beforehand “planned” or not knowing so, not planned on how it’s returned to dust, God is still going to raise it back up either to eternal life or eternal damnation. That’s nothing to God. He has all power and nothing is impossible for him to do.
Amen 🙏🏻 ✝️
Ashes to ashes dust to dust
@@robertanderson1823 My cousin and her four year old daughter were burned to ashes in a horrible hotel fire where 19 people perished over 50 years ago. I truly believe their ashes will be restored by God. Our God is a just God and a loving God.
A lot of my family have been cremated and I will be also. Being buried has become such a money maker. Everything is costly. Jesus will always be in my heart.
Amen!
Amen❤
Cremation is just as expensive as burial. You will be surprised.
@@michelletecklenburg5950 how is cremation done in christians? Among Hindus it's not that expensive
AMEN ❤. It's expensive. God can redeem us from dust.
I have faith that no matter if I'm bones or dust that God will resurrect me.
Same
God does not, can not operate outside His Character or He wouldn’t or couldn’t be God . Hope the Father sees us through the purest of pure , Jesus Christ, not wishful beliefs.
@markjohnson7924 what are you even saying. Christians who were disintegrated in a nuclear bomb or burned up in a fire won't be Resurrected?
@@markjohnson7924God would not want His people who are poor to be forced into an expensive funeral of a dead body. It is criminal what a burial with vault and coffin costs. If God can find dead bones in the oceans, he’ll find me in my urn. Believe me, it is not my first choice, but I am poor. Family shouldn’t be burdened with the cost either. As primary caregiver to my 64 year old sister and her legal guardian, family has paid enough to keep us afloat. Do you have any idea how much becoming legal guardian in FL is? $15k-20K. My family is paying for it! Also, I had a tidy sum in my 401K but thanks to Obama I LOST it all but a few hundred $. Life happens and God is not surprised. I know that God sees us, and according to this preacher every soul in heaven. I don’t mind God watching over my doings, but everyone in heaven! Geez. How embarrassing.
MY WIFE FAMILY DONE BOTH
MY FAMILY BURIED. I'VE ALWAYS BELIEVED JESUS CHRIST WILL RAISE US ALL.
AMEN🙏🙏😉😊
We should never, ever limit God ! He is our creator !
My dad always said:
“Let people have weird hobbies as long as they don’t believe that
an extraterrestrial conjured up our universe out of nothing from
the 5th dimension.”
But then I had to tell my dad:
“But that’s what they believe and they called this alien GOD.”
My dad totally shocked::
"Dealing with religion is dealing with insanity."
@@marculatour6229Lol, religion may be insane but having faith that there is a creator is certainly not. The yearning to search for a higher power seems to be built in the human existence, undeniably so.
Amen!
It doesn't matter if you are creamated or not. God is going to resurrect you no matter what has happened to our body. He is all powerful and can do whatever he wants
I believe this to be true.
Besides, you can't control whether you are buried or cremated after you die. Our Father in heaven is bigger than this, as He is God who gives life to the dead and calls into being things that were not. Romans 4:17
Is GOD not big enough to even call back together the dust you where made of. Even the bones. When a body lays in tht grave for umpteen years; does it not turn to dust. The body is just a shell, your spirit will live on with a new glorified body in Christ Jesus. 1 Corithians 13:3. Paul isnt too concerned with giving his body to be burned. I Will seek out more understanding on this topic❤❤
If cremation is desecration of the body, wouldn't embalming be too?
And look at the poor people who are predisposing themselves to cancer & premature death from the carcinogenic properties of formaldehyde in order to embalm people for burial… where’s the Christian concern for their fellow human beings?
I'm a follower of Christ and I have never had a problem with cremation, Biblically or otherwise! Just makes sense to me!
🥰🥰👏💯💜💜
Ashes to ashes ,dust to dust🙌

Yes, I agree.
Amen 😌🙌🏼 God bless !@@Djhikes63
Choices are made for us after we pass away a lot of times the Lord has promised us a new body.. AMEN
Thank u for this. My mom was cremated because she feared being buried alive. God Bless her soul. I hope to see her again one day in the air with Jesus Christ
I have that same fear and have planned for cremation.
Amen. 🌹🙏 My mother also....❤
Amen. My mother also.
People are burned in fires. Drowned in the ocean and eaten by fish. Not to worry They will be raptured too. God knows where every cell is
Don't worry about such trifles. GOD DOES NOT CARE about such things.
I pray that cremation is okay... because my partner just died and he is cremated... and I have paid for my cremation also. This is because of money... I would prefer both of us be buried... but now we are both getting cremated... so I pray God forgives me and still accepts us both. But then I think of all the people that have been burnt in fires, eaten by animals... etc... what is important is that our soul/spirit is with God Jesus Holy Ghost... amen.
There are so many worse things. I believe cremation is the LEAST of sins (if it is indeed sin). i had my husband cremated also because of I could not afford burial.
@@patmelton43 - thanks and blessings Pat... 🙏🙂
in history there has been cases off missionarys eaten by cannibals or wild animals.
My husband passed away last week and we are cremating him. I’m going threw a lot of emotions but i honestly believe in my heart that we don’t make decisions for God. He is powerful beyond what we can even fathom. The body left here is not what matters.
@@kaysha816 - yes, true... blessings.
Truthfully it scares me because i chose to be cremated, and I hope Jesus will forgive me and love me still. I believe he will. faith over fear 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you Pastor for teaching this. For those of us that still have doubt, here are a few more points from the Bible: 1. as God formed Adam from the dust of the ground, God can also re-form the cremated from their ashes since He knows our DNS as He even numbers the very hairs of our heads. 2. God can change non-organism to organism as Jesus said: God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones. 3. Jesus demonstrated God's almighty by changing water into wine and by restoring the sight of a blind using clay and His saliva. 4. God is faithful and trustworthy.
Love listening to Pastor Allen.
My thoughts, very easy to get caught up in "guilt tripping" about cremation and condemning loved ones.
Very Old Testament and legalistic.
Jesus is the only way to enter God's presence.
Jesus death and resurrection is the way. Accepting Jesus as my Saviour, repenting from sin, allowing the Holy Spirit to take control and lead me "more of God, less of me".
God created me from dust, he will give me a perfect eternal supernatural body, buried or cremated. His judgement is not on my body, his judgement is on having the blood of His Son cover me so I can be counted into as part of his adopted family.
Shalom. The bottom line is, whether cremation or burial, a true believer will be resurrected. God's hands are not short. He is the Creator of the entire universe. Mankind cannot outsmart God thinking that by cremating the bodies of Christians (their enemy) they will put a halt to the resurrection promised by God to His believers.
Absolutelyl)l, Jesus Christ can do anything !!!
" P E R I O D "
That’s right, he made us from dust he can resurrect us from dust! Hallelujah!
💜🙏💜
We will have heavenly bodies . Eternal bodies. Dust to dust the earthly body.
The soul leaves the body. If the body is cremated , the soul is already gone. The body is just a shell whether it was buried or cremated. I myself at 71 yrs old have still not made that decision. All my beloved pets that I've raised in my life have been cremated. It, s okay. I still see signs that my pets are still with me when I think and talk to them in remembrance.
Many people have perished in fires. You can't believe that God has forgotten them. Their souls are just as strong as if they were buried. The most important thing in my life is that my soul goes to my Lord and Savior and not to the darkness of no time and no space. We are dead a lot longer than we are alive. Eternity is forever , so prepare ourselves on earth as it will be in heaven. Make no mistake !
God is our Creater.
God gave us Life,
and God will take us home. Remember,
Suicide is out of the question or the soul will have no time and no space ;
( for eternity ) .
Pets and animals are sinless. That,s why they show unconditional love when they are loved back. We as humans were given the gift
of a ( Free Will ).
A Free Will to live and exist by the Words of our Creator or live and exist in the darkness of the Evil One. The decision is Ours. But Our Decisions are for Eternity. God Bless Us All ; because this
earth is filled with
both Good and Evil.
GOD CREATED, He's absolutely capable of recreating !
I am so grateful to have been led to this teaching!! Hallelujah!! I’m 55 and on may 9th 2010 I finally found my beautiful savior Jesus Christ! Since that day that I stepped out of the darkness and into the light, and into the loving arms of my Lord! I was raised in church but never knew Jesus! God watched over me and kept me safe while I was lost in deep dark sin!
From that day that I was born again I had the burning desire within me to know everything about our most Holy, most loving savior so that I could return that same love to Him and to honor Him by studying His Word so that the passion I had to tell the world about the good news!! The gospel of Jesus Christ was not my words but Gods!! Like you ,I see in black and white! My passion runs deep for my Lord and savior who first loved me! I never want to become lazy ,and Luke warm! My dad used to be an elder in the church of Latter Day Saints. Today he is 93 and is a seventh day Adventist. Myself and my siblings have tried talking to him. Today I have shared this video with my brother who is my dads caregiver so that he might gleen the truth which you have shared with all of us that desire above all else to live according to Gods Word, to walk in faith and not sin! To know that some day , we who believe in the saving grace of our Lord Jesus! To know LOVE! To walk in peace and joy knowing that our Heavenly Father is always with us, that He loves us, and that alls we need to do is believe in Hud promises , and need not worry for nothing!! Oh how wonderful it is to know ,that now and for eternity we will always be surrounded by Gods love ! How amazing it will be!! Words can’t describe what it’s like to know the love that comes from our Father above❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️🙏🧎🏼♀️
Thank you. I didn't know that body cremation is unbiblical or as punishment or a curse. Nowadays cremation is very popular cos cheaper than real funeral....
Trust God. Your soul/spirit is most important. Your body after death is a shell. The spirit or soul lives on. I trust and believe that those who are cremated (pass & future) will see the Lord Jesus Christ those who believe 🙏🏽🛐 and repent and ask to be saved.
Thanks for your testimony, and maybe it will help a lost church member somewhere. Tommy
I also can’t put into words the
feel of Gods love. A person would have to experience it for themselves. It’s AWESOME, BEAUTIFUL, HOLY,PURE. I could go on and on. HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!!!
It's all about faith. The God who created the heavens and the earth, angels, plants, insects, animals, fish, and the human race. Who knows every hair on every head in the world, has given every star a name, and knows all thoughts and actions of every human being who ever lived therefore He is able to find and recover every atom of every human body that was buried, cremated, blown up, eaten by animals or fish and will resurrect for eternal life all who obeyed the Gospel of Jesus Christ up until the rapture and all those that repent and accept him during the tribulation. He will also resurrect the ones who died believed or unbelieving and judge them also, if their name is not written in His book of life they will be condemned. He, is my God and is able, and nothing shall be impossible for God. That is how powerful our God is. He is bigger and more powerful just, and loving than we can even imagine. Blessed be the name of the Lord.
If this is so about cremation then people who die in house fires or similar tragedies would be subject to eternal damnation also. The Bible says once the clay vessel breaks the spirit departs back to God. GOD can resurrect/transform my spirit into whatever he decides. These traditions of men are never clear and always being debated. We should leave all judgment to GOD and let JESUS remove our sins. GOD bless you and your family.
AMEN🙏🙏✌😉😊
I love the way you you explain Gods word I’ve learned so much from you. God has given you a great gift

@@leialee6820 i dont know what your talking about. please expain
@@bamaboy7489 The way he spoke about cremation has caused so much sadness, consternation, troubled & worried so many people in the comments who are condemning themselves, feeling guilty etc because they chose cremation for their loved ones due to what he said about our heavenly body. You just look at how much negativity he has created. He was wrong, cruel insensitive, thoughtless, lacking in love, empathy compassion, wisdom & knowledge. Cremation is not wrong & making people feel that their loved ones heavenly body will not happen & that burial is the only right & Christian thing to do was not correct. The only concern & emotion he showed was for his own mother who died & nobody else's relatives, children, family & finished it off with saying what a large gravestone he was going to have. I for one will not be listening to him anymore or this channel. My son died & I could have let it affect me but I looked it up & saw that his views are not what other preachers & teachers are saying. I also listened to a video by another channel I listen to where the person is really used powerfully by God in the power of the Holy Spirit with great wisdom, discernment, Biblical knowledge but in humility to find his perspective on thid. The way someone is either cremated or buried does not come into it. Most people cannot afford a burial either they were saying on here.
Too bad you're led by a worldly, self-centered man who's obviously into the Gospel for money & attention. He's spiritually immature if not spiritually dead.
Praise God I have found me a teacher!!! I'm 85, have been baptized in the Spirit for about fifty years, but my favorite teacher has died, and I didn't have a Holy Ghost teacher. A Pentecostal teacher. That was the problem. Now that I've heard Brother Allen's excellent teaching on tongues, and this teaching on cremation, I have found my man! I'll have to say it, most thorough teaching on both subjects I've ever heard! Thank you Father and thank you Allen! I can hardly wait to get into the other gifts of the Spirit that Allen teaches on. What I'd give to talk to him personally about the few questions that dog my mind. FYI I've always had a negative feeling about cremation. Bill Tate
Nothing is impossible with our all-powerful God.
Wow! This guy is brilliant on his Bible knowledge! Impressive and amazing!
By dust you were formed an dust you shall return.. it truly doesn't matter if your bones rot to dust in a box or they are incenerated.
Yes but bones stay intact long long after burial. Being cremated means that they’ll put your bones through a crusher after you’re incinerated. People call the bones ashes. They’re not ashes
@@biddibee3526 Many saints were cremated when being burned at the stake for their belief in God. God created us from nothing and He can recreate us from nothing. Beauty for ashes. Resurrection. God is not limited.
Bones are dust after a thousand years! You just skip the maggots and worms. (being cremated) You also skip the 10K financial hardship to your family. Your NOT coming back to this body! We look forward to a spiritual resurrection.@@biddibee3526

Good thing burial or cremation is not part of the Gospel of Salvation otherwise a lot of martyr brothers and sisters would have not made it. Many of them burned, eating, their blood spilled all over. Many of them unwilling sacrificed to pagan gods (demons) by their persecutors. Resurrection is a mystery that will only be understood that day we are changed, in the blink of an eye. Burial is an expensive proposition. Imagine some of our brothers and sisters from third world countries where they can verily pay for a simple box to be buried; they bodies would be disintegrated in months, or eating by animals, or decomposed by the weather for the locked of good sealing material. I remember one raining season in Esteli (Nicaraguan). It rained so much, the caskets started floating downhill. We’ll, my point is that this is not part of the Gospel of Salvation.
I believe the power of God can resurrect my body of ashes from the dead. Thanks for the ideas for my urn inscription! Maranatha!

My older sister had power of attorney for my mom. She doesn't know the Lord. She had my mom cremated. My twin sister was also cremated. She didn't have any money and I had to pay for the funeral. Her children would not help. I know my mom and sister are both in Heaven. I feel very condemned after listening to this. Jesus paid for all our sins. There have been many Christians burned in churches, even what recently happened in Maui.
There’s is no condemnation to those that are in Christ Jesus.
Blown up in war burned in fires etc...I pray that GOD will bless everyone...
I personally don't believe this sermon to be very edifying. I have never heard it said before that Christians should be buried & not cremated. It has made me question his actual teachings as being from God. I shall not listen to them anymore. Don't feel condemned. My son was cremated as that is what I chose for various reasons. I don't think this sermon is very scriptural. Never heard of separating Spirit & Soul either. I don't believe our soul & spirit will be resurrected first & then much later our body is resurrected. I believe we will be resurrected at the same time & given a new body. A rather gruesome subject which is making people feel guilty for having chosen cremation which is not very compassionate, sensitive, understanding or thoughtful. Most people get cremated in the UK. There would never be enough room in the cemeteries if we all decided on bodily burial. We will only rot in the grave & become a skeleton & eventually we will be eaten by worms etc. God gives us a new heavenly body any ways.
Dear Jill - Remember that many good saints of the Lord were cremated as they were being burned at the stake, sacrificing their lives to the Lord. God honored them. You are fine and not at all condemned in the eyes of the Lord. And in their resurrected bodies, both your mom and sister will look as lovely and radiant as ever! God is not limited to a mere mortal's personal opinion or misunderstanding of scripture. Christ, whom John 1 tells us created everything that there is in the world, including us, created us from scratch and will resurrect us from scratch. No worries. God is the Brain and Creator here - not our limited thinking and shallow understanding. Man may condemn you - remembering that it was the religious people that condemned both Christ Jesus our Lord, and many followers of His. But God does not condemn you, and that is all you need to know. Rest peacefully in the Lord - He loves you like no other.
@@Blurb777 I am with you on this. What a terrible subject to bring up to bring guilt, doubt, condemnation & worry on so many people & have no concern with the effects this preaching will bring on people who chose cremation. Did you notice that the only time he got moved & showed emotion was for his own mother & sort of tried to bring up tears. Then he went on to boast about how he will be buried with a large gravestone. He showed no compassion for those who have lost children or their adult children. It is far more normal & acceptable that they die first. Rather a cold sermon with no thought of the negative effects on people who have chosen cremation. Our bodies only decay, rot & decompose in the grave.
This natural process is only speeded up by cremation.
"Obviously any buried body will eventually decompose (Ecclesiastes 12:7). So cremation isn’t a strange or wrong practice-it merely accelerates the natural process of oxidation. The believer will one day receive a new body (1 Corinthians 15:42-49; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; Job 19:25-26), thus the state of what remains of the old body is unimportant.”
Your the most knowledgeable pastor I've ever heard in my fifty years of living by far. God bless you
Doesn’t mean his teaching is correct though
Love you brother! You always have the most interesting messages! Trying to get closer to God and this channel helps. Honestly one of the few Christian channels I trust
PLEASE 🙏 ANSWER MY QUESTION!!! 🙏🙏🙏😢
Robert Breaker teaches scripture on his channel
Thank you Pastor Nolan.. you have become my church ..I have been saved for 42 years and have had to unlearn alot of false teachings..I thank God that you teach the unadulterated word from God. I left church about 5 years ago because of too much false everything..from preaching to the prophetic and it isn’t safe emotionally or spiritually.. I have not found a church in my area..but my faith is in God not the church ..it is a blessing to listen to you bring the word with clarity and touching on subjects or issues that we don’t hear anything on like cremation.. I love the father the son and the Holy Spirit ..thank you again for your heart for the truth..God Bless you brother.
As many times I asked, Bishops, Elders, Pastors No one could ever answer that question. I think its clear now Thank You!!!
Godspeed pastor Allen let the truth keep marching on!
Sorry, I had not listened to your whole message. I still repented because I did not feel right about cremation. I did it for financial reasons. After reading some of the comments, I feel much better. I also had a vision of bothy sister and mom in Heaven. I know when it is from the Lord. God bless you.
My Dad died in 2007. He didn't have a will. It was up to my 2 brothers my sister, and myself. We lived 250 miles apart, and I lived in a small town near my Dad.Something inside me felt very uncomfortable with the idea of cremation. I also knew my Dad was saved. I thought about the rupture. Most people pick cremation simply for the convenience and the cost,without giving any thought to life after death or the rapture. My one brother didn't really care what we decided, my brother and sister wanted him to be cremated (for the convenience of being able to have a memorial service at any time of their choosing). I went to a local funeral home and asked whatbwas the least expensive burial we could get. Cloth lined plywood casket, graveside service. When my brother called, I asked him what did he need for a memorial service. He said pictue of the deceased and optional an urn with ashes. So I said ,ok I can have him buried, and that won't prohibit you from having a memorial.service. We got my Dad buried, and a graveside funeral. I invited 4 people in my family whom I thought lived close enough to attend. I basically just let everyone know. 17 people in or family showed up, and they told me that they didn't have to memorial service. $3k including grave dig fee
ahh assume the - ''mc Duck Family are inmortal too save costs.''
The last ten minutes was the most impactful answer. Resurrection will be had to all bodies perished before he rapture. The method with which a person died does not matter. In fact when a person dies, the method used, burial in ground, at sea, with fire or explosion, etc., will not be your choice but the choice of those who handle your remains. Christ will resurrect, put all the pieces back together in the manner he chooses. So if you were born missing limbs, brains cells, etc., God will make things right at the resurrection.
Thank you Lord for your grace in our lives and for providing teachers like Pastor Nolan to help navigate what can be confusing topics in life. At the end of the day, Salvation is king.
I LOVE this Pastor! 1st time listening to him and he teaches so well and clearly.. Thank you Jesus for giving this to me.
He's a false teacher - seek the Lord with a FULL heart.
@@johngraham1274Americans always do this - no one can agree on anything, everyone pointing fingers at each other, condemning each other- this of course leads to not being able to trust anyone. It's just nuts ! I hate to say it, but America is so tiresome. Everyone says that only THEY have the truth. And everybody else is wrong, going to hell, etc. How did this happen ? No one even agrees on the basics.
@@johngraham1274So, how about just not listening to any more American Bible teachers. And all American Christianity is about is the money. Instead of love and spirit issues, it's mostly about money and things . Blechh!!💀💀
I believe that when Jesus gave us redemption, he tells us he came to fulfill the law. God is so powerful that he can find every piece of our old body and restore us.
I listened to a sermon one day while driving, I dont even recall the denomination of the one giving it. But basically their attitude was that even in the case of cremation there should be reverence and the ashes should be treated with humility and dignity as opposed to doing all sorts of willy nilly things with the remains. I liked that opinion very much. In fact, I kind of fought my sister in law over it regarding her Mothers ashes. Eventually her ashes were placed into an Urn and given a burial place with a headstone. Their father agreed with me and so did my wife. My Mother in law was cremated, because that was all she could afford. But we still have a place to go and humbly pay our respects. I think that is important, even if the final resting place is not necessarily in a "graveyard".
I lost my baby girl 9 days from her 3 months b'day. I had her buried in Auburn, NY. I actually lived miles away from that city. I knew I would move many more miles away from there. So as I left I knew I would always take her with me no matter where home for me would be. She is forever with me as part of me irregardless of where her body was buried.
My parents where cremated and then buried in a grave. My older brother, who still lives in the country where I was born decided it. My mother in law was also cremated, also buried after that. Her oldest son, my husbands older brother decided that. All of them were Christians. I can not decide yet what I want for myself. I know whatever happens, Jesus will find me.
Anna- '''be the first in the family too get out of the family comfort zones.''
Thank you dear brother.
I am in a desert and thirst for your fellowship of our faith and joy.
You should thirst for JESUS CHRIST
Amen, they can't stop the resurrection. 49:00 It's wrong to say or think that those who decide what to do with your body after you die have any control of your salvation. Trust and put your full hope in God the Father and his son Jesus (Yeshua) Christ
Thank God for this man and his teaching
I ve attended both types of Funerals cremations and full body caskets
It really depends on what the person can afford and what they believe
I know dif Cultures practice Cremetion as a Full out Ritual .
The last bone to burn is the Sacrum the bone of Wisdom .
Thank you for this teaching ...❤
Because of cost most people go with cremation. When my son died we chose cremation. Recently I saw a program on cremation but according to what they said, not I, that all bones are back to ash. But the only thing that couldn't be destroyed wasn't the bones. No oddly they said it waz the naval. What? It's skin but it can't be burned to ash. If this is really true why would that be? Could it be that that is where the silver cord is tied off. This is to me a very curious question. Just saying that is what I watched.
The only culture that matters is the Christian culture.
I would truly like to learn about the naval NOT burning up in cremation. That is very interesting.😮
As for which King’s son was burned, it could be debated that The King of Moab burned his own son, and the King of Edom decided that Moab had paid for his crimes by the sacrifice of Mesha’s own son.
As to Cremation being a sin itself; “If I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it does me no good at all.”
1 Corinthians 13:3 AMP
Why would Paul & Sosthesus mention giving the body to be burned with love? What does it accomplish if the cremated does have love?
I saw a comment on the is thread that stated, “God’s hands are not short.” I agree, nothing is impossible where God is concerned.
My brother believes that ground zero in a nuclear blast may be intense enough to vaporize even the soul. I argued that the soul is the breath of God, and as such cannot be destroyed.
You are correct!
What he is saying about Cremation may be true, but what about those who die in a fire. Examples- house fires, airplane blow-ups, and crashes, Car crashes, etc...
notice God made sure Sodom was creamated and not buryed
"From dust you came and to dust you shall return." It doesn't matter if it takes 60 minutes or 600 years. What about the martyrs who were burned at the stake? Will they miss out on eternal life? It matters not.

Thank U Abba Father
IN JESUS Name Amen
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Not all of us today can afford a funeral, in the time of our Lord Jesus Christ time's were very different, I can only be cremated, either way it's a good lesson Thank you 🌹
I have saved money for years to purchase a “hermetically sealed coffin” so that my body will not be plundered, pillaged and butchers, nor will I have my blood drained like a pagan Egyptian. I will be transported to a tiny cemetary where the only payment necessary is to pay the guy with the backhoe and a small amount for a spot (that money helps pay for area maintenance). My marker costs a small amount. No FUNERAL, just a couple people to accompany my body to the burial. It is not expensive and I would rather be obedient to Yahweh than look for an excuse.
@@higherview136well ,,,,,many of us can’t do that ,,,,nor do we have time to do that,,,many of us are old , very old , and have no money s@ved to this ,,,,,so l guess you are one of the lucky ones😳😳😳
I loved this …. Our bodies sleeping but our spirit is with Jesus and when the rapture hits our bodies will be resurrected and into new bodies like Jesus … my sister doesn’t believe that when we die we are spirits and go with Jesus I am so glad you taught on the segment because now I can explain it a lot better I knew when we die we see Jesus so many people who have died and come back I’ll tell you their experience
I really appreciate this study on the book of Amos chapter 2 specifically about cremation and burial. The church I am attending right now is doing a Bible study on the book of Amos. I enjoy how all the scriptures our interwoven together and reveals what we need to know if we rightly divide the word of truth. Shalom be upon you and the Cornerstone Fellowship Church.
❤…. Love the scripture explaining scripture. Pastor Brogi does the same. God Bless!
earth to earth, ashes to ashes dust to dust. Nothing there can prevent an Almighty sovereign God. He can do whatever He wishes with what He makes.
Dust to dust ashes to ashes. This came to my mind.
B2. Psalms.16:10 You won't leave my soul in Sheol, Nor will
You allow Your Holy One to see decay.
Psalms.22:29 All who are fat on earth shall eat & worship:
all who go down to the dust shall bow before him: & none
can keep alive his soul.
Psalms.23:3 He restores my soul. He led me in the ways of
honor for his name's sake.
Psalms.25:13 His soul shall live at ease, & his seed shall
inherit the earth.
Psalms.25:20 Keep my soul, & deliver me; Let me not be
ashamed, for I put my trust in You. 11
Best. Death.
B3. Psalms.119:25 My soul clings to the dust; Revive me
according to Your word.
Job.7:9 As the cloud disappears & vanishes away, So he who
goes down to the grave & does not come up. 10 He shall never
return to his house, Nor shall his place know him anymore.
Ezekiel.18:4 Look, all souls are Mine; The soul of the father As
well as the soul of the son is Mine; The soul who sins shall die.
When we die, God's spirit or breath of life returns to God.
Without God's Spirit, we do not have a living soul. The soul
is dead & has no memory till God returns his spirit at resurr.
It will be a blessing when pastors tell the truth.
The pastor's interest is satisfying men & putting on a show. 13
I watched your whole sermon and I still don’t understand if you’re saying cremation isn’t a sin or not. There are so many people that just can’t afford it and would love to have that big tombstone with all that writing on inscription that you spoke about obviously if they had the money, but the ones that don’t which these days is most of us you just didn’t leave it where it felt that it would be OK I’m sorry that’s how I feel
These bodies are temporary clay vessels. The body returns to the dust but the soul lives eternally with Abba Father!
God gives you a NEW body it doesn't matter what happen"s to the old one.
Thank you Pastor Allan Nolan I really enjoy listening to your speeches Thank you God Bless
to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord, 2Cor. 5:8 and when you be resurrected at the instant of decease (John11:23-26) you get a new body right then, that old body goes back to the dust from which it came (ECC. 12:7 & 1Cor.15:40-44), those that rise in Christ will be giving a celestial new body just like our Lord JESUS ( 1John 3:2) and not the terrestrial body the old body which is going back to the dust (Gen.3:19).
🙏 Amen
My Grandmother was cremated and I convinced her to do so because it is much cheaper and wise to leave that money for all of us left behind to put to good use in our own lives. I taught her that the real her was inside of her body and once she left it, she would not care what happens to her body. It ALL depends on the motive of WHY one would choose cremation. "Cremation," I think was forbidden in the bible because the MOTIVE was a satanic ritual. My Dad was also cremated too for financial reasons as it would have been very expensive to have his body shipped 100 miles to the cemetary. As painful as it was to pick up his ashes from the POST OFFICE and carry them home in my backpack before taking the them to the cemetery 8 miles from my house, that was the best way for him to choose to make his death as easy as possible for me.
@@allennolan You are welcome.
Saxma, The Bible does not condemn
cremation. The Catholic Church at one time condemned cremation. The Catholic philosopher,s
back then have read the Bible and gave their people the information as they saw it. I was once raised a Roman Catholic. They always put guilt on their parishioners and prayed on the alters to themselves and I would watch them walk over to each other and do their worshiping among themselves and leave the rest of us to feel inferior to each other. Like we are not worthy. I know things have changed since then. The priests would talk in Latin while we just sat there. Not me. I went to another church were they involved us with testimonies and words of good feeling like we are just as worthy. Only Jesus will steer us to heaven. There are no Saints that can get us to heaven. According to Jesus ( we are all saints ).
Indians have cremated their dead for as long as they've existed along with many other religions throughout this world.
Don't beat yourself up over your family members that had themselves cremated.
They are still with us.
God Bless. With Jesus in your heart...... That's all you will ever need.
I've never in my whole life have seen a Bible on the seats in a Catholic church. Only the priest's had a big one on the alter. What a shame. 12 years of Catholic school and I was never once showed how to look into a Bible . I didn't even know what a passage was. No priest or nun ever held a Bible to me.
Not once. Why was this?
@@shovelhead81 I know I aM only making a point that people take the Bible out of context and end up making up their own doctrine.
@@saxmanjpr5092 I understand.
What do the preacher say about the innocents who were cremated in Auschwitz? Are they cursed? I don't think so.
Thank you for explaining the biblical history of the resurrection and respecting the body in death. I enjoy listing to your messages. You answer a lot of my questions. I am a Lutheran. I accepted Jesus as my Lord and savior when I was 10 years old at a nondenominational bible camp and I renew my faith every day. I have studied my bible since I became a christian then. I am retired now so I enjoy listening to bible teachers very much. Thank you.
This has me more confused than anything else I've heard about cremation
You don't hear these kind of deep bible studys in the churches in these last days brothers and sisters.
Greetings from Suriname 🇸🇷
@@allennolan
I have a question: in this bible fire 🔥 is Gods judgment the Holy Spirit with fire 🔥 what does that means???????
"Brothers and sisters." Would that not imply that dating one another is incest? What ar we doing to be an immitator of Christ and follow HIS example on how too achieve marriage since his own marriage, "the marriage of the lamb" will be occurring at the rapture.
@@saxmanjpr5092 My theory is the Lion will fight the dragon
@@seanodwyer4322The Bible tells us it will be Michael the archangel. There are holy angels as powerful as that old dirty dragon!
I'm pretty sure it says we will be given heavenly bodies, and that there is nothing we can do to be plucked out of His hands. There aren't deal breakers regarding our salvation. If that WERE true, don't you think there would be more of a warning of that in the N.T.? Don't you think people like Paul would have let us know plainly and clearly NOT to be cremated? The essence of the Gospel is its simplicity. The price has been paid for us. Period. My repentance and confession of faith in Jesus has given me the gift of salvation.. And if our family can't afford to bury us, I'm sorry but that's not gonna make my salvation void. God made my 1st body out of nothing, I am pretty sure He can hook me up with my heavenly body.
What about if we can not afford a burial. I was saved and baptized. What then or our nephew that is missing . No body to bury
@@bobbiepearson7142Am so sorry to hear about your nephew and will pray for him 🙏🙏🙏
God is merciful and loves us all and wishes us to repent and bring us through Jesus, close to Him.
Keep the faith that a repented heart from our earthly sins moves our sweet Lord who is looking over all of us 🙏🙏🙏
Everyone preaches until questioned, then the desires of the World becomes their guide.
Love your service praise Jesus
Hello! I’m not trying to be rude or a keyboard cop, but I feel like I need to share that, for a pastor who is called to deliver the word of God, it is critical to use proper speech. The word “revert” means to go back to a former condition, practice, subject, or belief. To say “revert back” means to go *back-back*. It’s redundant.
Also, have came is improper. The proper subject verb agreement is have come. The correct conjugation is I have come, I came, I will come. The word came doesn’t need the helping word ‘have’.
I agree somewhat on this topic yet the bodies return to dust as scripture tells us. To return to dust is no different than being cremated. God only needs one molecule of who we were to restore us to our original bodies! I think the bigger message should be not to quibble over semantics of what was done in the past or why but to share with people that God is so much bigger than our understanding. To try to understand Him is limiting who He is or what he can do. To quantify the understanding to whether one should be buried in honor in a casket as a believer or in dishonor and cremated as an unbeliever is to say we knew that person’s heart better than God and can make that decision definitively, earth side. Some one who appeared to live a so called christian life and are “honored” with a nice funeral, may have been an unbeliever, a wolf in sheep’s clothing! We do not have the definitive call on knowing that. Burial is a very personal decision and judge people on how they do so is self righteous!
Alleluia glory in the highest 1 , he is coming back 🎉 Amen 🙏
I have recently lost my adult son..took his own life, Shalom MARANATHA
IT'S ACTUALLY BETWEEN OUR HEAVENLY FATHER AND OURSELVES AND NO ONE ELSE
Dear Pastor Allen - Again …. Thank you for teaching God’s Word! God Bless You and Lisa & Your Whole Family 🤗. You have worked so hard studying the Bible! I really enjoy learning more than you know! I was raised as a Christian - but you have taught me so much more- Thank You So Much!!! 🥰🥰🥰
I love this Pastor. He not only speaks the truth, he follows it with many scriptures. "He's the best ever". He has a great spirit, and has a warm compassion heart. His messages come with a great sense of humor. Jesus and his mom are smiling 😇 proudly of him. May our Lord and Savior "continue" protecting and covering him with Jesus's blood. Hallelujah !!!!!!! 🙌🙏✌️💜😔Praise God for him.
Sometimes, like when you defined coemeterium you ask the congregation if they know a fact in such a way as to suggest that they are not smart or educated as you. Just a thought. I love your detailed teaching.
Amazing revelation of John 11:25-26 scripture eluding to the Rapture. I did not understand it that clearly. Our Blessed Hope. PTL!
Not many, I know, understand about the ressurection will be on the Feast of Trumpets. How awesome that you understand this. It's "That day and hour no man knows." It makes perfect sense
because the WORD says that the Trumpet will sound to call the dead forth from sleep. Congratulations ! 🙏
I agree, but the Truth is that we don’t know. Those are Israel’s feasts, not ours.
Thank you so much for simplifying this.
Know the Bible and know the lord 🙏
Pastor Allen … I totally understand and come into agreement with the sermon … however, what about those who were burned regardless of the reason, eaten alive or whatever means one dies, whereby there is no longer a body to bury … what about those souls?
I mean look at the costs associated with burial vs. cremation. Do you not think the enemy has something to do with that?
I have it in my Will that I requested a burial … however, my lawyer said it can still be overridden and I could end up being cremated, even though that was not what was requested.
So how do you address this? There are many Christians who have been cremated over the years … they won’t go to heaven even though God promised if you believe in His son and that he was raised three days later, after he paid for our sins?
Even after the Q & A I still hear it is a sin, if not a burial. I’m hearing that cremation is a sin because I’m a believer. Being too expensive is not a reason to not receive a burial.
I know we’ll all be resurrected but what happens if there’s no body? I don’t feel you addressed that!
Pastor Noel keep blessing us with this powerful truth 🙏🏾
It is not the truth.
When he talked about his tombstone i got chill bumps ❤
Thank God for leading me to your ministry I have spoken with many pastors concerning this not one seemed to really know.
God has the "blueprint" for every one of us....i would guess that He who spoke the universe into existance can and will make a perfect eternal body...
Well this is very distressing because I never considered that cremation was wrong in God's eyes! I've been a Christian since being a young child and I never heard a discussion on it. I always thought it was a matter of personal choice. I have my husband cremated and now I'm feeling very badly about it because he deserved the best. I hope that the grace of Jesus covers him and covers me for making the wrong decision. And I don't know if I will leave enough money to my family to do a traditional burial so maybe the Rapture will answer that question for me!
The Pastor, though quite learned, is going to great lengths to make the case that he thinks burial is better for him than cremation because of his study on the subject and that’s where his faith is on the matter. It seems to me he still doesn’t recognize his salvation is based on his BELIEF on what JESUS accomplished, (not on what he does)The scripture says, “He who knew no sin became sin on our behalf that we would become the righteousness of God.” Bottom line: Have faith in Jesus, not your works, because without the propitiation or total removal of the penalty for our sin, none of us meet the righteous requirement of the law which says that the wages of sin is death, but the GIFT of God is righteousness to those who BELIEVE. Thanks to Jesus, He overcame sin & its consequences for us!
I believe God is powerful enough to gather our ashes from the 4 corners of the earth. As He will need to do for all those who died by fire or other tragedy. It doesn't matter and besides they have made funerals so expensive who can afford it? My mom is in a cabinet and I always look to see if she's been risen up yet because the dead go first. So she's my alarm to the rapture!😊
A person is not going to lose their salvation because of the dicision their family members made that person has already made the decision to live for christ. That's the olny thing that is important
This sermon was awesome 👌.... and Pastor Allen is easy to understand.
Also, Brother Allen, I learnt this from you on the glorified body. On the Day of Judgement, we are given a glorified body and not the same carbon body that will be resurrected. If thrown in hell, the earthly body cannot burn for all eternity because it will perish under hells fire. But a gloried body can burn for all eternity would out perishing.
Shalom shalom, great and wonderful teaching
facing that now with my adult son,s death, so awkward. after decades ( personally volatile )divorce , Which I didn't initiate I loved my children , deeply ( also with prophetic gifting) Shalom
Thank u lord for the love you give
God Bless you all at Cornerstone! Blessings from Billings 😃
cremation -elimination of the body cursing the soul to wander in purgatory, in eternal judgement since we will All be resurrected to the judgement. I remember when in my childhood elders and pastors would speak against cremation, years later I had forgotten... Thenk you for reminding me Why. Now it is clear to me, no more questions for me.
This is my first time listening to you 😊
You have explained alot that I did not know. I have always told my family members, and my husband that I do not want to be cremated when I die. I just have never felt comfortable with that. I want to be buried. My husband says, you will still go to heaven if your cremated.
I tell him, it just doesn't sit right with me. Then I hear you tonight 😊 reassures my decision.
Thank you for your speach (sermon)
Depends on the denomination with the beliefs are.
Depends on your relationship with God.
If you seek the answer in scripture you will find it as you pray and meditate on it.
It's always there.
God doesn't want your physical body He wants your soul.
What is the point of getting right with God repenting accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior if you are limited because you had to be cremated for being poor. That doesn't sit right with me and a lot of other people who can't afford a fancy coffin and a fancy burial. I would love to know your thoughts God bless you in Jesus's Name
@derekwilson2592 I cannot afford a funeral, I would go with the cheapest coffin ⚰ and no funeral service.
@@lindaderrick9930 that's probably still going to run you a few thousand dollars. I don't have that I'm disabled am I going to burn in hell for being disabled, I don't think so! This man is wrong on this issue,
I will be cremated because it's all that I can afford. I have no one but myself and I live on social security. However, I believe that the God that created me will recreate me only next time my body will be perfect! I am not deliberately committing a sin. I enjoy the teaching of this minister but this particular sermon will cause many besides me to worry, dread, and even fear that I will go to hell because I can't afford a funeral.
I signed up about a year ago for a $25 000 life insurance through my local credit union. Only paying $4.00 a month. This way my burial cost is covered and my family doesn’t have to worry about my funeral cost. Thought I share this with you to check with your local bank or credit union.
When we die, our body returns to dust, so it does not matter burned or not, because we are getting new bodies to live in heaven and if we are not saved we will get a body made to suffer in the lake of fire for eternity.
