Amen 🙏🏽
I never questioned this thing about cremation and it never ever bothered me. Because of we do have problems of cremations in our salvation, then my question is that, how about those people who died in fire 🔥 incident their bodied were burned into ashes too...and some of them are Adventist faithful ones! If God can resurrect them, then He can resurrect also those faithful Adventist who died has been cremated. Our God is the God for those who believes in Him and accept Him..and He will resurrect those who died in Christ whether they're cremated or buried normally or they have died on the sea and has been eaten by a big sharks! All of them will be resurrected when Jesus comes! Amen 🙏🏽 thanks always Pastor Mark Finley for the great message.
Very good reasoning! 😊
I think today the issue is that burials have become big business. You often have to pay tens of thousands of dollars for a funeral plot in a cemetery. Cremations can often be done for less than $1000. I think most people would opt for burial, but I totally understand cremation due to the price difference in today's economy.
In Oregon, cremation is 2 thousand dollars, no frills....i know, i just lost my 28 yr old son in march unexpectedly
@@beezknees4339 So sorry for your loss. How much would a burial have cost? Do you know?
Beez, very sorry that you lost your son.
Finances does seem to play a very big role in this.
I've always had questions about cremation as an Adventist. Thank you so much, Pastor Mark.
Thanks for watching. May God bless you.
Genesisb3:19 “In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread till thou return to the earth, out of which thou wast taken: for dust thou art, and into dust thou shalt return.”
Unfortunate curse of sin!
Do not fear what man can do to your body only your soul
Matthew 10:28 (NKJV) "And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."
2 Corinthians 5: 1-10
One day we will have our Heavenly bodies whether we are cremated or buried.
Amen!
Thank you for this. This has been a question of mine for many years.
What if your a believer and you die in a house fire? Bomb explosion? Die in the sea and get eaten by some sea animal? No matter what, you will be bodily resurrected by the Lord. How is God going to do that? I don't know. I bet it's not a problem for the creator of all things to do that real easy. In fact, is there anything too hard for God? No.
You’re right!
God Will remember us who we were. No matter what how we died doesn’t really matter. Some people were burned to ashes in middle ages by persecution for their belief in Jesus but they were all remembered by God. That is a good example. God has our record of all DNA we are all different 🧬 and unique being to the eye of God. No worries. Thanks for reconfirming, pastor Mark.
Thanks for watching. May God bless you.
THANK YOU!
This has bothered me for YEARS now. We cremated my grandparents as they requested, but I always questioned if it could somehow separate them from God's ability or desire to recreate them. And of course daily I'm getting closer to my death day so I was kinda itching to find an answer.
This video comforts me. Thank you.
Also remember that a lot of martyrs during the dark ages was burnt alive. I'm sure they too will be resurrected
We are glad that you were comforted with this video.
Some early christians were tortured and burn alive in the public. And God saves his people who are faithful either your bone is intact (in tomb) or your bones is powdered (crimation or burn in public tortured). In other words crimation is not an issue. Let's focus in our salvation and being faithful to God. God bless everyone.
Thanks for your comment. May God bless you.
Amen! God is the hope of my horizon! He is the light, so I can see! And in my darkest hour when I have fallen, He is still the love that carries me... Blessed be the God of my salvation, for His love saves from the second death
Amen! 🙏🏾
So many martyrs were burnt at the steak so it doesn't really matter what happens to your body, as you say it is a choice, for me if I have a choice I would bury.
GOOD POINT! About the martyrs. 👍👍
Good reasoning, Geraldine.
Have a wonderful day to all brethren’s this is also my question about cremation when we die should be cremated or bur
Hope your question was answered.
Thank you for that answer about cremation
Thanks for watching. May God bless you.
It does say that God said
From Dust You Came and to Dust You Shall Return?God Created Adam from the Dust of the Earth.God Bless 🙏🙏🙏
I don't know if that negates cremation.
Dear pr Mark... Is this lesson 4 or lesson 3? The content seems the same.. Powerful🔥 Gbu 🙏Amen
Amen!!!
Amen!
... THÄNK ÝÖÜ for this ANSWER !!!!! ... AMEN !!!!! 👼👼👼👼👼😇😇😇😇 😇 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for watching. May God bless you.

I have been an advocate for cremation for decades simply because I believe that preserving the body is contrary to my spiritual belief (it is the spirit that liveth!). After all, when Mary Magdalene tried to touch Jesus after his resurrection, he told her, "Touch me not. For I am not yet ascended to the Father." The power is not in the body, but the spirit.
I have held this belief for decades.
Until a dear sister in our church who also was in favor of cremation said that she felt God showed her that cremation was defiling the body.
Now, I don't believe that cremation is a sin, but her point has made me rethink my position.
We all will decompose after death and become dust, just as we all will die anyway.
The parallel is that man is NOT ALLOWED to decide when we die, and God's natural process of time, etc. breaks down the body...just as it is not up to man when to take life, I believe it should not be man's decision when to decompose or cremate the body.
If there's a scripture that shows that burning the body after death is acceptable, I haven't found it, and if someone has found it, I'd love to know where it is.
Just remember, we aren't bodies having a spiritual experience, we are eternal soul having a temporary, earthly experience.
Christian greetings to everyone!
Hi, Pastor Mark, recently there is a surge of teaching here in the Philippines that the Holy Spirit is not a person, making the doctrine of the Trinity false. I've got two questions about this, Pastor Mark:
1.) Are there any differences between the Trinity doctrine that we, Seventh-day Adventists, believed from the Roman Catholics?
2.) Why is it that the Bible and the pen of inspiration sometimes overlooked the Holy Spirit (e.g. "The image of God is to be produced in humanity. The honor of God (1), the honor of Christ (2), is involved in the perfection of the character of His people" Desire of Ages, p. 671)?
That is very unfortunate. Please email us at info@hopelives365.com with these questions and we would be glad to answer your question.
Good question @Neal on Trinity,please respond Ps Mark...i am having the same controversy where i worship here in Australia,apparently they believe the pioneers initially ? didnt believe in Trinity and they believe Evangelism p616-617 was infiltrated by Leroy Froom and that 1Jn 5 vs 7-8 was originally not there in the bible it was added as well.They say Adventists are worshipping 3 gods and the Holy Spirit is a force or energy not third person of the Godhead..... please tackle this topic Pastor....thank you Neal for raising that!!
I think this move was not in God’s plan. When God said to Daniel in Daniel 12:13 But you, go your way till the end; for you shall rest, and will arise to your inheritance at the end of the days.
Can the body be in Rest when you burned it?
Where this idea came from?
To be in rest means to experience the first death. Cremation of burying does not interfere with it.
Many Martyrs, during the dark ages were burnt alive.
I'm sure they will be resurrect to meet Jesus in the air
Those martyrs did not choose to be burn..
Peter, you are right.
Got it this time
Great. Thanks for watching. May God bless you.
I would like to hear this but it is on mute or something. I've wanted to know about this as well.
Hi Janet, it is not an error on our side. The video can be heard clearly. Please check your audio.
@@HL365 it's ok. I got it fixed and got to hear it. Thank you!
Because of sin, Moses allowed divorce. To me it's the same principle. Because of sin (greed), God allows cremation. But isn't it great to know the God of Genesis, Who speaks something out of nothing, is also the God of Thessalonians, Who will again speak something out of nothing: "Jacque!! Wake up!!!" (Mom died June 6.)
Sorry for your loss, Deborah. May God give you comfort!
Sir the flash is temporary but the spirit lives forever and I believe there no difference between bury and cremation of Man kind. 👍
What do you mean by flash?
@@HL365 the important part is your inner souls that will lives with god if chosen . ⭐
Did God said not to follow the custom of the Heathen/pagans??
Yes. Isaiah 8:20 says, "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them."
He did indeed. However, cremation isn't sacrificing your loved one to a diety, or a part of worship to another diety. It's simply a way of disposal of (already dead) human remains, so they take up less space, to put it bluntly. Now if the person were sacrificed to the flame, that would be different. Like what the Roman Church did to the martyrs. They burned people alive. To me, they were practicing pure paganism rituals there. 🤷🏻♀️
Ashes to ashes dust to dust we will return ppl
Ecclesiastes 3:20 (NKJV) "All go to one place: all are from the dust, and all return to dust."
5>p
What do you mean?
But the cursed was burnt with fire cremated this did not answer the question what's the point of the video
He’s saying there’s nowhere in the Bible you will not be saved or resurrected if you cremated yourself.
The point of the video is that the Bible does not talk about cremation vs burial as a salvational issue. The God who created man out of dust is still powerful enough to raise His saints from Ashes if they are cremated.
It is not salvational and I don't believe one is eternally lost if cremated or burnt at a stake etc but the Bible does teach / supports burial not cremation!
Agreed that this is not a salvational issue.
Guns in the sanctuary. Is it Biblical?
Please email us at info@hopelives365.com and we would be glad to answer your question.
do you guys follow jesus or poster of church i think this person didn’t read about this
Jesus said unto him in Matthew 8:22: “Follow me: and let the dead bury their dead.” The Spiritually dead will always bury their dead loved ones in a manner, that exhibit pride of life, which is not of god, but of the world.
Of course we follow Jesus. But that doesn't mean the true followers of Christ leave the dead unburied.
Jesus was speaking to a man who was giving greater precedence to his family ties that were preventing him from following Christ.
I do not believe that I have EVER heard Mark Finley say the word "um" (not uh, but um) before! In less that 3 minutes- he said it 9 times! What is going on there???🤔 Is Mark okay?
I guess, I focus on the message not on any other sounds
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@JLUM-yx4fy i like your response
You’re observant! 😊
Opinion only but if you are saved you are in your heavenly body and your earthly body is of no significance. Cremation and burial to me are simply ways to honor the life of the person and have a lasting memory by doing what you wish with their remains
Please watch this: ruclips.net/video/lS6yce04R6s/видео.html
Don't do as the pagans do. Roast the body of the Lord? Heaven forbid... That is what hell is for. Jesus said fear the one who can destroy your body and soul in hell. The lake of unquenchable 🔥🔥🔥
I am led to be buried if I'm not alive during His Coming. Praise Him
The bible said fear not who can destroy your bout but only your soul
Then what about the martyrs who were burned at the stakes? Because they were not buried, would then not be in heaven?
do guys following jesus or churches ⛪️? 😂😂
this person even didn’t know that
Jesus said unto him in Matthew 8:22: “Follow me: and let the dead bury their dead.” The Spiritually dead will always bury their dead loved ones in a manner, that exhibit pride of life, which is not of god, but of the world.
Of course we follow Jesus. But that doesn't mean the true followers of Christ leave the dead unburied.

In many ways just asking this question shows how cute Adventists have become? It shows a degree of dis- respect to God's people who have died thru out time for His name.Dietrich Bonhoeffer the lutheran pastor who stood up to Hitler in Germany, was tortured and imprisoned by the Gestapo for a lengthy period( many of his family members were killed by the Nazis) and Bonhoeffer was taken out and hung and immediately piled together with other executed prisoners and set afire and burned up!Other prisoners testified later that they smelled it and fat and skin from those burned alighted on their own skin!The majority of Seventh Day Adventists at that time collaborated with Hitler!

@@HL365 No I wouldn't be interested in the playlist l have already seen most of it.,and have been nourished by your ministry! All I am saying is the caliber of the people asking these questions due to the way Adventists have been fed is very superficial.Considering the Jews were made into soap, lampshades, and garments, it seems to me to honor this sacrifice, Adventists could have used these facts for a deeper edification on the subject of cremation, and other truths about the nature of the Beast and False Prophet whose spirit manifested those deeds and the same spirit growing today will manifest the same practices in principal upon Seventh Day Adventists when enforcing Sunday Laws of worship.Lets try at least to keep it real and convey our Lord's suffering and the reason for His sacrifice!
God is against the cremation a pagan rite that has entered among Christians. If i was a pallbearers and we dropped your love one casket would uou be upset? Well people who say they loved the person who died will Burn them up and say they loved that person. WOW!
LISTEN TO WHAT GOD THINKS ABOUT IT...... Amos 2:1
Larry, it is understandable that it can be a hard thing.
Amen
Amen! 🙏🏾
