I think it's a disgrace that funerals cost so much. A vast majority of people cannot afford that amount of money. I understand that it can't be totally free but $15,000 that's outrageous.
Neptune Society 2,700 dollars for pickup of body anywhere in USA and Canada, Cremation only,NOTHING extra. Bring a can ! Good enough for me ! Ashes to be scattered....my son knows. Greetings from Tallahassee
Prices are going up end of April.
I'm 64, put 1000 down, then 25 monthly for 6 yrs.
Amen

I did the same, funeral home 2600 for cremation compaired to 10 to 20,000, its insane
My mom passed and I was in my late 20’s and it cost me 10,000 15 years ago. I cremated my mom after calling hours and her body was present during her funeral mass.
She passed at the end of September,that year I went to mass on All Souls’ Day,and the priest homily was about the rite of Christian burial,and he said cremation was fine,so long as her body was present for mass and then buried in concentrated grounds,and she was ant a priest was present for prayers before she was laid to rest. The soul is ever present.
Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust. It's the spirit that belongs to GOD !!!! ❤
If ashes are scattered after cremation can they still be reformed?
Correction!...should be our soul that belongs to God.
@@jeanniewalker4577 It's possible but i don't know how?.God will gather them and reform it again,i guess..but one thing sure after resurrection our new body with flesh and blood will stand before God to face final judgment.
Absolutely, case closed! 🤗
No we are not little girl
Thank you, so much. My husbands cremation is upcoming Tuesday 9 2024. This teaching came up on his phone and has given me some comfort and peace. Thank you Lord for your graciousness in this very sad time.
I pray that Yeshua comforts you in your time of grief!
Prayers of Comfort at your time of sorrow ❤
I'm so sorry for your loss
So sorry for your loss 😢
I'm sorry for your loss.
Thank you my mind is at rest now at 74 years old. I know I am a child of God and he will never leave me. AMEN
Amen 🙏🏼
AMEN.
How do you know you're a child of God?

I receieved Jesus Christ as my Lord & Saviour. I asked Him to come live in my heart. The Gospel message is 1st Corinthians 15:1-4. I followed that. I was living in a nursing home at the time. The covid-19 came out then. I had, had an encounter with the Holy Spirit. So when they asked me to take the j4b I said thank you but no thank you. 4 1/2 months later I finally got to go home.
Then I investigated & was grateful to God/Jesus for telling me the truth. I downloaded Brighteon, BitChute, Rumble, Odysee, Patreon & I had TH-cam which didn't show much. But the others did. I looked for what is in the j4b I didn't call it a j4b though. I was very gratefull to God/Jesus for showing me the truth. I still am & will be forever. John 8:58 says before Abraham was born, I AM. That was Jesus speaking telling us that He is God. If you are having trouble seeing/believing that pray & ask the Father/God to open your eyes/heart/mind of understanding in Jesus Christ Name!! So that you can understand His Word. He will help you, He IS A GOOD GOD!!❤😊❤)

My mum was cremated and I asked God so where shall she be now? He got me to open the Bible and my eyes fell upon the words the spirit returns to God who gave it. I was at peace
Recall Apostle Paul stated: " Absent the body, present with the Lord" [instantly].
Holy angels escort you to be with the Lord ,...
Or Demons escort the condemned below into Hell and external torment, then the Etetnal Lake of Fire at your White Thrown judgment where all your lifetime sins are made public. Time doesn't exist in the spiritual realm, so there's no rush, in reading charges against you.

It is well with you.
Our bodies are just vessels for our spirit.
And for the Spirit of God in us.
We will receive a new incorruptible one.
Amen

Thank you for helping me clarify that, subject

Your message was clear and informative. As followers of Christ our decision is at rest.
Thank you for the teaching on this subject.
This is not entirely Biblical. Our final hope is not just in our spirit being with the Lord, it is also in a bodily resurrection... our Saviour came and walked the earth in a physical body, he died in that body, he was raised to life in that body... yes, transformed and perfect but his body none the less. That is our hope... being raised again to eternal life with Him.
Yes I believe this is TRUE
I believe that no matter where our bodies are after our death God can find us. Even if we are dust in the wind.
God doesn’t have to find He knew before hand!
God knows wherever we are! Amen!!❤
@@janicewhoustonYes, God knows wherever we are! Glory to God! Amen!!❤
My grandson passed away two months ago and was cremated that’s what his mom wanted I am so happy I listened to this pastor today my mind is now at ease because his soul went back to God.
And we will be giving glorified bodies to make sure that we have a better understanding we will learn about what goes on in heaven. Thank God that I am learning about this stuff now because I gave my life to Christ a week after Easter Sunday in 2024 which was March 31st and I gave my life to Christ on April 7th. I know I know I have the word of God thanks to Billy Graham add his people? I think I can be more thankful to know that I am going to receive God when I get to heaven and that God will receive me. So I think it is time for all of us to get ready for the coming of the Lord but in other words I think we all need to get ready to make sure that once we get to heaven soon we will be getting there knowing that we're going to be coming back here to win souls for the Lord!
@@leonardbrinkman4410😊
How do you know your grandson was saved when he died?
I have been fighting cancer since 12/2/2019. With Jesus, love from family and friends, my doctors and nurses in the Oncology clinic I go to and of for all the prayers I am still alive. I had decided along time ago to be cremated. I thank God that I found you tonight. You have put my mind and heart at ease with this decision, thank you.
Hello, I'm Sister Dora because I'm a Christian. My husband fought Cancer twice, Covid for eight months, and the lost of a child, he is still with us, with lots of PRAYERS, LOTS Of FAITH, the Lord has given him more time in this earth, when he was in the Hospital with Covid, I demanded the LORD to bring him home, because HE has promise to answer our IF WE BELIEVE IN HIM.
God Bless you Lisa Santillan. I am a cancer survivor. I have been through several surgeries so l understand your experience. Continue to live for Jesus and to love Jesus. This body is just a vehicle by which we move around on this earth. God will give you a new glorified body and there is no cancer in heaven. When you get to heaven and see Jesus the last thing on your mind will be this body of dust God Bless you.💝
@@esequiela.martinez5087 God doesn't let someone live just b/c a zillion Christians pray for it, or demand it, or b/c healing is believed in or prayed for. God does not let people live b/c they are "good Christians" who have accepted Christ into their heart.
God has already pre-determined when we die just like when we will be born and there is not ANYTHING a human can do to change His Mind.
There are many good Christian people who are suffering, there are many prayers by fellow Christians being spoken in groups of 2 or more, AND there are many children who are innocent, who are suffering and dying.
If someone lived in spite of terrible circumstances, then it is b/c God deemed it so.
Claiming that you lived bc of your faith is saying that your faith is better than every other Christian who died when they didn't want to, or when people prayed for them to live.
Nope. You are a child of God, sure. But when God decides its time for you to die- you are going to DIE. Then- Heaven or Hell- you do get to have a part in that decision.
Is medical intervention human interference in God's divine plan?
God allows medical interventions to work for only so long.
God isn't ready for you yet, you will be in my prayers 🙏 I lost 6 family members to that terrible disease 😢 😔 my father, 2sisters, 2brothers, my mother died of heart disease 😢 💔 I was blessed enough to take care of my loved ones until God called them home. That was the hardest thing I had to do, alone, I made sure they didn't suffer! I almost mentally was drain, hurt, loving them soooo much, I fell down on my knees humbley, asking Jesus the strength to go on in life, in God's wonderful Bible, Acts 2: 38 WE MUST BE BAPTIST IN WATER, REPENT OF OUR SINS, WE SHALL RECEIVE THE GIFT OF THE HOLY GHOST. I WISH YOU ALL THE HAPPINESS GOD HAS FOR HIS PEOPLE.
Continue prayers, for you 🙏🏻 ❤️ Jesus heal, I hope and pray, This to shall pass 🙏🏻 🙏🏻
I love how God works. I had been praying that God tell me about this subject and give me clarity about it. This morning this came up on my phone. Thank you I now have peace about the decision I will make. God bless you
It happened that way with me as well!!
Me as well. I've had this on my heart for quite awhile and this came up as I was watching something else. Jesus always finds a way to talk to us.❤🙌🙏
@marthanelson5360 same here. Just popped up on my phone. Put me at ease.
Been a month since I lost my dad. As much as I didn't want to believe it, I had to think fast after he passed on. Called a funeral home. From there on, I realized that cremation was the thing to do. First, my dad missed being in California. He never regarded NM as his home. He grew up in Cali. So I decided, I can't afford the transport of my dad. So I decided cremation was the way to go. This fall I'll be moving to Arizona. California is just next door. So I'll take my dad's ashes to California. To the place he wanted to return too. It's the best I can do for him. The price to bury with casket and all was going to run past $4500. Cremation: $1300. Plus, either way you choose, the funeral home wanted the funds up front. Otherwise they charge each day for storage @ $75 a day and if you couldn't pay, you got late fees. So yes, funeral homes charge outrageous prices. They must think we all be rich. 😢
Amen!!! haliluia!!!glory to his holy name!!!!!
This came up on my TH-cam feed. As we get ready to cremate my uncle. I believe God has placed this video on my feed. Thank you, Jesus, for giving us rest in knowing that your word (the Bible) does not say that cremation is against your word. I have read the Bible and understand that our body came from dust, and to dust, we shall return. I will also be cremated as I don't want to burden my family with the cost.
My mother was cremated 14 yrs ago. She asked to be cremated. But, I sometimes still ask myself if I did the right thing. This gives me peace knowing that she is with JESUS. Thanks for the teaching. God bless you..❤
We don't need our bodies. They are returned to dust. It is the soul that needs to be cared for
Thank you.

I told my daughter to have me cremated. I'm going to spend eternity with my Heavenly Father no matter what. Thank you for this teaching.
My HUSBAND and I want to be cremated. My husband passed away on the 25th of November so I had him cremated he wanted his ashes spread in 2 different places. I wasn't too sure of my decision so after lesson to you I'm sure of my decision and I prayed with you for the Lord to forgive me for my sins. I've always loved the Lord and God. I want to thank you for your teaching me about cremation. God bless
Amen
How come god didn’t help the poor Turkish and Syrian people who died in the earthquake recently. Thousands. Where was god ?
Their god is not our God. They reject him. Their “god” failed them
Pastor can refer me to a verse in the Bible that says cremation is acceptable to Christians or any that supports it that has nothing to do with catholic clarification
My husband passed away last year and was cremated. This gives me peace knowing that he will still be with Jesus Our Savior in Heaven. 🙏🏻❤️Thank you for your service and God Bless you!

@@nattybeevers8431NONE of us will immediately go anywhere other than our Grave upon our death! The DEAD are Sleeping & will only come out of their Grave at the 2nd Coming of Christ & Resurrection of the Dead in HIM. The Bible tells us that NONE have ascended to heaven besides Jesus & 2 prophets. Even Adam, Moses, Noah are ALL still in their Graves.
When my Mom passed away in 2012, I was just sick because I had to cremate my mom. She had no insurance and I only received about $900 in SS disability so I couldn't even bury her. Someone, think my cousins, paid for her burial. I just try to remember that her soul left her when she passed. I've heard that your last breath is your first in Heaven. 🙏

I’ve been a Christian for many years. But today, listening to this subject, I decided to follow Jesus truly from the bottom of my heart . Thanks for clarify the subject about cremation. Amen
Please read genesis 1 to 11, read Psalms 1 and John 1. Read one chapter a day. Write in your language what you read. Have a clean bible no markings or past thoughts on what you read. . Thank you. God bless
The consensus among most Christian traditions-including evangelicals-is that because the Bible does not directly forbid cremation, it is not a sin. As Timothy George says, “While the weight of Christian tradition clearly favors burial, the Bible nowhere explicitly condemns cremation.”
If God wants to pay ten thousand dollars for a casket funeral I'm all in, otherwise cremation will suffice.

I can relate to tragic deaths. My son, God rest his soul, was in a tragic accident and was then hit by multiple cars. When I asked the cremation place for a fingerprint, they told me they were sorry but that wasn’t possible. I never saw my son after he was killed since I was advised by the Medical Examiner’s Office not to. I had nightmares about his death. Now he’s with me spiritually, and I’m writing a spiritual grief journal that I plan to publish. God is good!

I lost my brother and sister within a couple of months of each other. I had just gotten back from their funerals in Europe when my 25-year-old granddaughter was killed in a tragic car accident... she had a 5 year old son. This just all happened last year. I have grieved for other members of my family who have died throughout the years. Nothing prepared me for the death of a child in my family, and I struggle daily with it.

Thanks for your post Ptr Tiff. May i add, when the people heard the preaching of the apostles about death of the Lord, they asked: What shall we do?
Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:36-38.
I do not refute the prayer you taught, that's a good start.
My dear mother transitioned three years and three days ago and she chose to be cremated.I am glad that I ran across this bible study tonight.I now have more clarity about cremation.I also have been pondering about this and I now have my answer. Thank you.

@@georgecarr224934:33
Thankyou
I am a born again Christian and sold cremation services for several years. I always told people who were concerned about being cremated, who thought they could only have a traditional burial, that not everyone had those choices. I also used the examples of war or 911 that God could certainly resurrect their bodies. There isn't anything God can't do. I'm sure this is a wonderful reassurance to those who have made the decision for cremation. The reasons you stated of why it is becoming the preferred method, is accurate. I chose cremation when I was 19 years old. That was 50 years ago. It didn't make sense to me that I would take up space for the rest of eternity and no one could use that plot of ground for anything else. Thank you for putting peoples mind at rest. This is the first time I've listened to you. Not even sure how I came about this.
I don't know how I came upon this either. But I'm glad I did. My mother was cremated and I've never worried about where she was. But I've also never heard it explained either. When I was young we went to the grave yard and the ladies cleaned up the cemetery. People do not do this anymore and rarely even go to the graves. My idea for being cremated is as yours. People will always need the land to live and grow on. I prefer to be kept in my son's hearts. Not take up space for what?? So maybe someone comes along an reads my headstone... people need the land to live on. That's what is important.
Remember, God is always in charge. You found this message because God knows, you needed to read it for clarity. Bless you in all you, always.
I'm seeing various response😊 I have considered cremation for I am 79 years old and you guy😢 have really been hel😅
😢This video coming from the Bible and a man of God has set my mind at peace for the cremation for my mother and myself thank God hallelujah amen any how.Deacon Davenport.
I took out a pre-need cremation a few years ago. Kind of like putting it on layaway. I am convinced that Jesus can ressurect us any where, no matter what. He can do ANYTHING. Just talking about Him makes my heart swell.😇😇
I have always wanted to be cremated. I cremated my first husband after his death & kids use to tell my children that he was in hell. I asked my children if they felt I. Their hearts that he was in hell & they told me No. I have Never felt that as well. I’m glad I found this channel to confirm what my heart told me. TY for this ❤
I am so full of Jesus joy right now for running across this Bible Study. I want to be cremated and my friend ask me, what does God say but I had no answer. Thank you, thank you for being obedient and discerning that there is a need for Gods people to be at peace with their decision making and allowing Holy Spirit to guide you through this.
Thanks for the biblical teaching.

I'm 57 years old and I still don't understand. everybody sits there and says God told me this. God told me that or or Jesus and the Bible.

I like the way that you discuss things about the Bible
@@kellycomber8371 HI Kelly, I know your comment was not addressed to me but if I can help you then I'm glad I chimed in.
I don't know about others but most of the time when I say "God said" I am referring to what I read in the Bible. There are times when the Lord has spoken to me in the Spirit, what I hear is not audible 98% of the time. The Spirit speaks to me spontaneously, unprovoked and uninvited via the Word of God that is stored like treasure in my heart. I believe that only happens if you know and study the Word of God. My thinking is you will never know the voice of God if you do not know the Word of God. That may not be a fact but it's what my experiences have taught me. Those times I've heard an audible Word from God is when I'm in a dire, chaotic or dangerous situation. There aren't a lot of words spoken, usually words like, leave or go or run & a few times get out and my experiences have taught me to leave immediately.
I said all of that to say, as long as you let your Bibles sit there with no attention you will never know what people mean when they say God spoke to them. God loves us and his Word will help us navigate life, it will help us to literally change direction, it will help us to physically change direction. "John 10:27 My sheep listen to my voice. I know them and they follow me." I listen to His voice because I know His Word. I know His Word because I steep myself in His Word, I study it because I seek understanding and the more I understand the more God reveals Himself to me.
God bless and have a blessed life in Christ Jesus. Read those Bibles sis and be blessed beyond measure. 🙋🏾♀️🙏🏾🤗🥰💯

If God needs our wordly body to resurrect us from dead, that's not God, but witch...God just says 'BE' and we will BE...

I prayed with you today .Listening to you brought me great peace as poverty has forced us to cremate my brother Randy .Haven’t had a moments peace since then.😢❤
I’m Praying for your Peace
Having lost two sons and my husband, I had made the decision to be cremated. I feel that funerals that are so drawn out with visitations, the burial and many days of having to relive the hurt and pain of death, we need a simpler way. We need the shortest possible way to send them on their way to God and give us the time to grieve in private. Thank you pastor for helping us make the right decision knowing we have God's blessing.
Amen and amen!! I am with you on this 💯. Gods more worried about the condition of our hearts and soul. He does not care either way. I just don’t want my old snack butt body taking up anymore space. I’ll be ready and stoked for a new body. I want no chance of my former old broken body back! 😜🙃🤣🤣 No thank you God! Not a chance. You can keep my old one. Please and thank you Amen!!
Thank You. God Bless You. People judge everything .They want to be in control and judge. Some didn't care enough to visit a fleshed body but want to view a dead dressed body. It is the belief in Christ that is important. People get caught up in ritual & tradition. God is going to give us a new body when we return to him. Biblical
I just found your teaching and so glad because I am in the process of deciding what I want to do. Thank you for your teaching ! I am a Christian and I love the Lord so I do believe he can gather us from wherever we are .
God does not care how this body ends, God only said that all creations must die, it doesn't matter how it dies, because we all must die and go by the way of the grave except those who are The chosen beloved bride of Jesus Christ they are the only ones that live long enough to go into the what you call the rapture or the catching away if you live long enough as a true Christian beloved bride of Jesus Christ then you will not taste death, so remember it doesn't matter how we leave this world only that we should be true Christians live in and honoring the true word of God and living a Christian Life dedicated to him and he knows where we are even the ashes or wherever your body may be scattered over the Earth, he will gather all that that body was back together again in the new world and create a eternal body that will look just like you did in this life about 20 years old and we will be eternal throughout eternity, saying this that you may know there's nothing wrong with cremation or any way that this body leaves this world as long as you are ready for the new world and the new body.
Tiff, thank you!! I was married 57 years. My husband and I spent our life together loving God and his son who saved us. We spent our lives, caring for the land, building upon it. Taking care of God's creatures. We decided on cremation in order to return our remains as ash to the earth, where our children know also where to put my ashes, with my husband's ashes. I always knew I'd never found anything against cremation in the Bible and we felt good with our decision. You help others to also feel good with their decisions, bless you!!

Thank you for discussing this topic, my husband and son have been cremated, because we couldn’t afford a burial. I had questions of God’s judgement on this. Thank you!
Thank you Jesus for guidance and leading me to this explanation on cremation through the teachings and the writen word in the Holy Bible so well explained by Pastor Tiff. I now know that my beautiful loving wife of 62 years together made the right decision, and that she is with Jesus and God the Father in Heaven for she was truly an Angel here on earth.
Amen Thank you.
Your most welcome❤I now have hope that Jesus who suffered, & Died on the cross for our sins. Gives me hope that I will once again be with My Loving Wife of 62 YRS. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR MINISTRY. ❤
I came to know Christ in jail in 2013 by reading a book, "Overcoming spiritual blindness" by James P. Gills MD. The veil was taken off my eyes. Heaven came through for me in my finances too, getting $25,000 monthly. I can support God's work and give back to my community. God is absolutely more than enough!
Hello how do you make such monthly ? I'm a born Christian and sometimes I feel so down of myself because of low finance but I still believe in God...
Isaiah 45:3 speaks of a transfer of riches from the heathen to the righteous... I will give you the treasures of darkness and the riches hidden in secret... I received this for my household in Jesus' name. Amen!.
What a testimony!!! 🙏🙏🙏
I'm genuinely curious to know how you earn that much monthly?
I started pretty low though, $500 thereabouts. The returns came massive. Liam is in school doing well, telling me of new friends he's meeting in school. Thank you Claire Morin, you're a miracle
Can I also do it?? My life is facing lots of challenges lately.
I was just looking through the TH-cam videos and I saw this pastor and it made me feel so much better. All of family is gone now and they are all buried in the same Cemetery and I had told them when my time comes, that I wouldn't be buried with them. It is just my daughter and I, so the distance and finances would be too much . We haven't been able to see each other like normal families, so when we all got to be together for Our Mother's Service was a Special Blessing. God has been my Family all of my life .❤ Thank You Jesus for Loving me more than I Love Myself.❤🙏
Praise the Lord for this Pastor. I am so happy to have found this video. My heart and eyes are open about cremation. I was one that was concerned about this. I was raised in a Full Gospel Church. When I was a young girl, I am now close to 68, my mom and dad told me that they didn’t believe in cremation. But praise the Lord my eyes are open.
Amen
We have no.power only God does. He knows our hearts. He loves us. And He is well able to resurrect our bodies from ashes. And I want to be Green and ever mindful of the environment.

@@suesattler2596 you need to repent AND UNDERSTAND the difference between dust and ashes
Yes. If Joni Eareckson Tada scattered the ashes of her beloved father..and I suppose her mother as well...cremation is good enough for me and mine. God speaks very plainly about the sin of homosexuality...if He spoke ad plainly about Cremation..then YES...I would also be against it. God seems to leave the decision open...let the flowers grow...let the land be used for Parks or perhaps even supportive housing...I have accepted Jesus Christ as Lord...so have my family...THAT is what matters. Jesus.Himself said so.
Thank you for a wonderful teaching. It's what my father, a pastor for many years with the assemblies of God taught me. He always said sailors drown and the fish eat them but Christ will resurrect their whole bodies if they are in Christ. It's horrible break families financially who have to bury their loved ones. Many a single mother lost a child or in my case, I had to bury my mother and my brother with no other siblings to help me. I buried mom traditionally, but was in retirement when my disabled brother died. I had him cremated and then buried him with mom and then dad as it's all I could afford. We had a lovely graveside service and I was confident I'd done the right thing because of my dad's teaching. May God-bless you
Your dad's a good pastor.
Bless you.
My Mom donated her body to science in 2002. After they were finished with her "the body", what was left was cremated. I received her body by mail. She was buried at Fort Sam Houston with my Daddy. I and my husband will both be cremated our ashes will be combined and then mixed with the dirt under the biggest Livr Oak our grand and now great Grandchildren play in.

What a sweet note and for taking the time to write. God bless you today.
Perfect timing as I was talking to my neighbor friend today about this. I’ll share this with her. Thank you for this teaching! Lord bless ❤
My mom and I live together and this is the first time we have seen one of your TH-cam videos. Wow! It was so informative and we were impressed by how much research you put into the topic. We were also glad you reminded us to act as Christ would have us and not be judgmental. Our favorite part was the reminder to live each day as you might meet Christ. We subscribed to your channel and look forward to more of your videos! God Bless
I have prayed and prayed about this . 🙏🏼 I agree with you Tiff. I was married in 1985 just a year later, the awful explosion of the Challenger took the lives of my Christian Sister and Teacher Krysta McCullough and other Believers who loved Jesus. They were not able to have a proper buriel. Tomorrow is the day the Soldiers lost their lives in fires at Pearl Harbor. 😓, I was reading about Joan of Arc as she burned at the stake for her Faith just last week . She asked for the cross ✝️ to look at at eye level as she died and she cried out to Jesus . Also people here who disagree with Tiff and me please think about the recent thing in China . They locked up people in their apartments and they could not get out , fires broke out 😫 they burned and I bet many knew the Lord and cried for him , you won't see these reports on regular news but they happened just a few weeks ago. Please pray hard before you all open your mouths and give your opinions . 🙏🏼
I've prayed in agreement as well my friend. Receive your blessings with open arms. I love you guys
I don't believe in cremation because all our covenant fathers were properly buried. The only place we see God burning people is in hell fire. Those cremated in the bible were done so out of persecution, wounds from wars, but those who died natural death in the bible had a sepulchre.
Many choose cremation because is cheap and because they have no church- nor do they believe in Jesus Christ. Is funny that people can buy a car, or cloth or even spend over 15,000 dollars for leisure but cannot pay for their bodies to have a proper burial, for their families to visit their graves. My husband wants cremation and I see him as a selfish man because I don't want it. Till now I am not happy over his decision. It makes me cry till today. Let the truth be told irrespective of people's feelings. Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were properly buried and I will prefer to be buried. Thanks
I agree that the Bible is the Living Word of GOD and has every answer we need for our lives ( owners manual ) . The Angel Gabriel told zechariah " nothing is impossible with GOD" also Jesus said " all things are possible with GOD" . We all are just Bones and worm food eventually . Almost 3000 souls were instantly creamated on 9/11 in planes and buildings , I am sure Our Father can put followers of Jesus in Heaven any way he chooses !!! Blessed are those that never have seen Jesus Miracles but hear his words and still believe - GOD is LOVE - always faithfully 💖🕊️🙏☀️

@Susan Lampkin yes and the bodies simply lie in the ground and rot anyway. Bones..then dust...ya know..if it so happens that I was wrong...shamefully wrong..I didn't bother to check with God first..well...I am forgiven ..so are my brother and father both of whom have been cremated. God judges us by the amount of truth we have had..the opportunities we have had..and what we did with those opportunities...I feel at peace and have read the Bible. My late brother is blooming in Heaven...my late father is at peace...I'm gonna be cremated when the time comes...trusting God to be well able to search the seas or the lake or the mountains for that bit of DNA. Stop overthiinking..its alright. My late brother said...days before his unexpected death at Age 60...'YES'...(I have accepted Jesus Christ as my Saviour)...'I like Joni Eareckson Tada'...and she wrote about her father remains being scattered in his favorite place...
@Jill Crippes well 'Graves' can easily cover Cremation u know...Give God a little credit here.
This message 💜 So many lessons all in one! I am so thankful that I came upon this. I couldn't sleep, struggling with the loss of my father and whether or not witnessing his creamation would be good for my soul. I found conflicts of creamation with the Christian life, and suddenly this message was all I was interested in. Thank you for your Biblical teachings and your ability to understand why things may be understood in a different way, but canceling everything with nothing but the truth! Amen and Amen!
Creamating is bad for your soul its like being burned a life because you feel the pain the same as a life,cause you aren't breathing anymore but you can hear every body talking it's like having a deep sleep,we from the dust must returned the dust,we born with the soul on the our left side it will never die,our spirit returned to heaven & the spirit will returned on a new baby within 7 or 10 years,we have a soul and spirit,, your soul is a live, you can talk to mom and dad anytime you have problems they will help you ok, I'm African no creamating its bad for your soul,
Needed this. Mother and brother was cremated & iv always wanted to know this 😢
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TEACHINGS N HELPING US MAKE BETTER DECISIONS. MONEY IS OFTEN A DECISVE FACTOR.
Recently my sister was cremated ! She now has a new beautiful life with our Lord Jesus an Angel for us all
I watched your video from beginning to end and did pray with you and received God's prayer .. I had always wondered if I would have sinned if I were cremated! I have always been in favor of being cremated to save the financial burden for my family and the sadness of my family and friends! I'm 67 yrs. old and still am looking for the way to Jesus Christ! AMEN!
@ canadianmuskie. I too have decided to be cremated. To receive Jesus as your LORD & SAVIOR, believe in your heart and say this prayer: LORD JESUS, please forgive me for all my sins, I believe YOU are the SON of GOD & that YOU died for me on the cross and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart, I make YOU my LORD & SAVIOR. Amen. Read your Bible and find a good Bible based Church so you can get to know HIM. HE already knows & love you.🙏😊
I'm currently building a relationship with Jesus and I hate when I'm weak in the flesh I'm okay with being cremated Flesh is all that's left after our souls department from it
I'm thankful for this information. My mom, passed away 2018. We paid 18,000 plus. I mentioned to mines, my wishes to be cremated. They were totally shocked. Being I have been in the church all of their lives. ( all grown now )
My reasoning is this, I don't know what it will cost when it's my time. I want you all to do as you will. Rather than give money to something that makes money from your sorrows. I'm gone, I know nothing and it does nothing in the end. The money could be used to fund school, food, housing or whatever.
And so I now understand so much more now about how I want to leave this earth, and I will still be given my eternal body when I am joined with our Lord Jesus. Thank you so much for easing my worry about this.
I have Leukemia and it’s terminal, l want to be cremated for financial purposes, l don’t want for my family to be burdened with costs of a funeral. I too have conflicting feelings of being cremated because of my Christian beliefs, and after hearing your message it affirmed what l had in the Bible regarding our bodies will be resurrected no matter how we were buried or the manner in which we expired (referring to the born-again Christians)…thank you O’Holy Yewah 🙌🏼 for the redemption of my soul 🙏🏼 You must be a Born-again Christian) in order to make heaven your home 🥰
Amen and AMEN ..BE BORN AGAIN our FATHER WILL! TAKE US HOME!!!NO MATTER WHERE WE ARE..HE KNOWS❤
Thank you for your service on cremation. My husband and I have decided on cremation simply because I don't want my children, grandchildren and great grandchildren go through the sadness they would have to endure choosing caskets, clothes, writing a out things for the preacher to say.

I am a 74-year-old Catholic and I will be cremated. It’s just my body. My soul will go to God the Earth is made for living not the dead.
This is my first time hearing Pastor Shuttlesworth, and I'm impressed! The thought of cremation has been on my mind over the past few years, as I'm a Christian, 59 with health issues. This video appeared on my youtube feed, and honestly, the present technology and it's ability to "always listen" freaks me out a little! i will, however; sleep better tonight, knowing that my plans to be cremated are okay with our Father! Prayers to all my fellow Christians, doers of the living word of God!
--In Jesus mighty name, Amen
Thank you so much for the information regarding cremation. I am a Christian but my sister was cremated last year when she died. I was the one who received her ashes from the crematory. Now I got peace of mind. God bless.
I want to. be buired like Jesus was buired
@maryrea2314 you have a rich friend's tomb to be buried until resurrection. Kidding only asking!
Thank you Pastor for your explicit explanation on cremation. It put my mind at ease with my decision to be cremated. I’m Catholic and I’ll have the last rites/sacrament before I’m cremated. More blessings to you Pastor.🙏
Cremation is no different than a body lost as sea or burned to death in a home fire.
Thank you for the word, the scriptures, in Jesus name Amen. I do so love the Word of God. Thank you Pastor.
Ecclesiastes 12:7
Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, And the spirit will return to God who gave it.
I'm so happy I found this. When that day comes the older I get and going through so many loss of family members and all involved. I never want my husband or kids to deal with this who would be already grief stricken to have to deal with a funeral. So thats why I decide on cremation. As a Christian and not wanting anything to prevent me in going to heaven I have been scare of my decision although could never find anything in the bible that said it was or wasn't a sin.concerned me. But also I know the body we are in now is just a vessel and it's our soul that matters. Also ashes to ashes dust to dust. After listening to this I am no longer afraid of my decision when my time comes. Thank you for putting it in perspective that really makes sense to me.
Loo
Thank you pastor Tiff for your wonderful clear interpretation of the bible regarding cremation. Now I can confidently inform my son to cremate me when I die and to cast my ashes into the sea and to remember me in his heart. this has been a dilemma with me over the years. God bless you and your ministry.
Well that's selfish why would you spread your nasty dead body in the food we eat in the sea ? How about the toilet 🚽?
Not good
Well said,, great message..
@crystalbelle2349 Hello, I really hope you are doing well. I don't believe in cremation for way too many reasons: 1. No body from the people of God got cremated. 2. Ashes and dust are not the same. 3. Pagans like: Greeks, are the ones who introduce cremation to the world NOT GOD. 3. 99% of all religions are false and A LOT of preachers teach LIES, 4. When you study God's Word regarding this matter there's not support, the Bible teaches the opposite... etc, etc
Thank you
Thanks for your study. I was never convinced cremation was ok, until now. 😊
Thank you for this session. My Sunday School teacher, also reminded me of the dry bones that were put back together. However, I desired to get an understanding of what the Holy Bible stated about cremation. I thank you for your careful and honest approach to explaining Christian liberty to decide cremation for their body, because I feel the soul, absent for the body, present with The Lord. And my thoughts are being of this world means spending much money for funeral/burial costs.
Thank you Pastor for this precious teaching, giving me peace in my heart.

I was very touched about your sermon on cremation and have accepted Jesus as my savior thank You
Makes sense Tiff, especially knowing the way others had died without a choice.
Jesus loves us all and will not leave behind any of his chosen ones who love HIM, no matter how or where their bodies are buried.
My father has just died. He is a devout Christian. My wife is a skeptic, I am Christian. The other day she saw ( only she saw it) a cloud that she described as happy with a glowing light around it. It arched and landed on the table. She was deeply perplexed, looking for what she thought was a piece of paper, on the table. Asking the children if they threw paper, confused. I always say of my wife ''if it's not on the table, she does not believe'' !!! such is her doubt. This was a sign from my father, for her specifically from heaven. Get with Jesus.
Sounds like the Sun was shining behind a cloud.
Tiff Shuttlesworth - Ty so much for this lesson on Cremation Tiff, I've always worried about making the wrong choice but now thanks to you I know that it is up to the individual. Excellent Bible Study sir !!! God bless you
Thank you for this Bible study. I recently started studying with you and have been blessed so much with your study of the word. I especially thank you for explaining, using Gods word, the subject of cremation. Looking forward to more of your studies.
Thank you so much. This very thing just touched our family last week when a family member passed and was cremated. I was contemplating my own evitable passing and wanting the best choice for my family now I can confidently enter this discussion with them. God bless you brother, I believe it was the Holy Sprit that directed my path today.
My last husband and I talked about which way we would do cremation was the way we chose the cremation was a lot cheaper then have a normal funeral. He was killed by a Lung Doctor that I did not know he was needing until he had told the nurse call me on Monday to notify his other family members I told the nurse they couldn’t get here in time to say goodbye to there brother, coming from St.John’s Newfoundland Canada. When I was told by the Lung Doctor said I could blame him or I can blame God he is bleeding out because he’s had gave him to much blood thinner and he’s bleeding to death. And they took four weeks to give me a his medical files and on the third week they sold me a disc. I had gotten a lawyer to check the disc and was going to get another Doctor he had retained to go over the disk I went from the hospital straight to the lawyer office gave it to the secretary and with in five minutes she came and said there was nothing on the disc it was blank I told her I just paid $980.00 to get a blank disc I know the had four weeks to change his medical records to keep that Doctor that should have been retired years ago
we was together ago. But I guess they can get away with murder I think they should have be retired I lost my loving husband
Don’t have surgery at Providence Hospital it Mobile Alabama the doctors their play God and the employees don’t care as long as they get paid to change their files so they lie for the doctors there.
@@rbarter6285did you report this to the medical board? There's has to be a way to keep them accountable. I'm so sorry. Vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord
My parents-in -law chose to be cremated. We dutifully carried out their wishes and threw their ashes out of a plane onto a selected mountain.
As the years passed we realized we had no memorial to remember them by. I miss them and have no one place to remember them as I do my parents.
Funerals and death traditions are not for the dead but for the grieving.
Also, is it appealing to know ashes of the dead are in our water bodies. I am not judging but telling how this has affected our family.
Thank you for this information about cremation. Thought about
this many times
Thank you pastor Tiff for the teaching it’s so wonderful to listen to your messages. Both of my parents are cremated. I had my made my decision to be cremated too after I died. The Bible’s also said, we all will turn back to dust after we die. The creator of life said it in the Bible. 🙏🙏❤
To Sokphy Blakeman, Genesis 3:19 says, "for dust you are and to dust you will return" could mean that we will be buried in the dust.
p
We are going to return to dust regardless of how we are buried.
@@debbieslittle4paws how can dust hear the voice of Jesus though?
@@debbieslittle4paws read John 5:24-30. This is regarding the dead who will hear his voice in their graves.
Thank you for this information it gives me peace when I do pass that I know my family can be at peace with my decisions.I have never really read the Bible but I really do enjoy following it with you .Thank you for that ,it makes my day so much better🙏❤️
Thank you. This eases my heart. My son who truly had God in his life, chose to be cremated when he passed from cancer. I didn't want this at all. I didn't believe in it. Although I believe in my savior I didn't think this was the right thing. I had believed it to be against God. It has tore at my heart since 2017. I feel so much better. I believe in God. I believe Jesus died for my sins. I know I fall short of the Glory of God but I truly try to live my life for Him.
At age 75 this has become a common theme. Thank you and God bless you in your works.
If there were thousands of Christians burned at the stake, then logically, cremation does not affect the soul's status...
Recently, I lost my sister and father. When my mom found out my sister and dad chose cremation she was highly upset.
She told me that if I died I would be buried... cremation is for me also. So I made sure that my affairs are in order.
My husband (RIP) & I decided that with death comes grief and we chose not to allow our family and friends to mourn our bodies that are only dust and because death is not the end for believers in Christ Jesus.
I can't wait to share this with my Mom. 🤩❤️ Thank you again 😊🙏🏼
Misconception: Cremation dishonors the body.
Fact: The Bible says that those who die return to the dust, which is what naturally happens to a corpse when it decomposes. (Genesis 3:19) Cremation speeds up the process by reducing the body to ashes, or dust.
Misconception: In Bible times, only people in God’s disfavor were burned after death.
Fact: The dead bodies of some unfaithful people, such as Achan and his family, were burned. (Joshua 7:25) However, this was an exception rather than the rule. (Deuteronomy 21:22, 23) As noted earlier, the bodies of even some faithful people, such as King Saul’s son Jonathan, were burned after death.
Misconception: Cremation prevents God from resurrecting a person.
Fact: Regarding resurrection of the dead, it does not matter to God whether a person’s body was buried, cremated, lost at sea, or eaten by wild animals. (Revelation 20:13) The Almighty can easily re-create a new body for the person.-1 Corinthians 15:35, 38.
I definitely get what you're saying, but I get the other end of the argument of letting family & friends mourn & go through a moment of closure during the sudden grief. I have no issue with cremation & don't believe it's a salvation issue. But, allowing others to view & grieve over our bodies for several minutes or hours in a hospital/home/nursing facility, or a few hours or day in a funeral home, is not a form of worship or taking their sights off of those loved ones eternally going to Christ. Instead, it's a very deep, meaningful, heart-accepting opportunity for a person to have final, personal closure for the ones who have just experienced losing you. To have that last touch, last conversation "face to face" as you will & last look at the human being they have known & loved their entire lives or have gotten close to in the time they needed you most. Someone they cherished, appreciated, loved & have suddenly lost. Sometimes, for people who have just learned of your sudden death without ever being able to say goodbye or being able to see your face one last time leads to regrets & no feelings of final closure & acceptance. That also being said, I'm not a fan of tampering with a body & filling up with formaldehyde....so my choice would probably just be to allow loved ones to view me at home/hospital/nursing home if that's where I am & then be buried, trusting family or friends will make me decent enough for viewing. I'd rather have the option, such as certain cultures/ countries allow (ie: Hawaii/Samoans), to allow the family to take the body home for a day or two, so loved ones can stay or visit with the deceased, cry with each other, & get some closure before the deceased is taken for burial. It's natural, it's needed & prepares & helps heal the hearts of those who have just experienced deep loss. 😊💓
Thank you for enlightening me on this subject . I have chosen cremation and now feel at peace with this decision . My brother , his wife and my brother in law was cremated . I have other family members who is choosing cremation . I believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and I believe no matter how you are buried you will see him again in a new body . I was raised Christian and my Father and Grandfather were both ministers but doing the time they were living I never heard of cremation as a child.
Our son passed away 4 years ago, a shock to us all. My husband and I had him cremated. We know that our son was a child of God, and we prayed on what we should do. I know my son is with our Lord, and that has given us peace. Listening to your message has assured us we did what was best . We did have a church service before he was cremated.
I just asked God this question yesterday after a funeral for a friend. Thank you for this lesson.
Thank you for this. My precious daughter passed away 2 years ago and was cremated. I began to be troubled about this recently listening to another pastor.
My dad was cremated and had a beautiful funeral at his church with his pastor preaching a service and giving the salvation message. His neighbor and step son got saved at this message. Afterwards the church had a very nice pot luck dinner. My aunt and many others from our church has done the same so this is what I want when I die.
Thank you so much for this. My mother died in February 2021. She wanted to be cremated and out of four siblings my Christian sister had reservations about it. I know God is all merciful. I think about all the people whom have died via explosions, fires, lost at sea, killed and eaten by animals, and our brothers and sisters who were exterminated in the Holocaust. None of them were properly buried. Once again, thank you so much.
Thank you for this information as I plan to be cremated. I believed dust to dust, ashes to ashes is still honored to resurrection. It’s comforting to know this.
You confirmed my belief that the Bible states we were created from the dust of the Earth and shall return to dust of the Earth . many people dye by many means and not all have a burial as some view. We are finished with this body and God will transform you to a new boy. Thank God for this
Why are you being cremated ,you don't have insurance? Get insuranced and take your place in the tomb like the saints of old. None of the Bible saints were cremated they even rented tomb for Jesus, stop the crazy.
Misconception: Cremation dishonors the body.
Fact: The Bible says that those who die return to the dust, which is what naturally happens to a corpse when it decomposes. (Genesis 3:19) Cremation speeds up the process by reducing the body to ashes, or dust.
Misconception: In Bible times, only people in God’s disfavor were burned after death.
Fact: The dead bodies of some unfaithful people, such as Achan and his family, were burned. (Joshua 7:25) However, this was an exception rather than the rule. (Deuteronomy 21:22, 23) As noted earlier, the bodies of even some faithful people, such as King Saul’s son Jonathan, were burned after death.
Misconception: Cremation prevents God from resurrecting a person.
Fact: Regarding resurrection of the dead, it does not matter to God whether a person’s body was buried, cremated, lost at sea, or eaten by wild animals. (Revelation 20:13) The Almighty can easily re-create a new body for the person.-1 Corinthians 15:35, 38.
Thank you for letting me know i can be cremated,I have died and went to heaven and seen God,and talked to God telepathically he is great he is beyond belief and also loves us unconditionally and being in heaven was unbelievable there's no words that I can say that would be my experience also our souls are very beautiful they are formed like our bodies but in pure light.this really happened to me God is real and so is Jesus Christ so all Christian's hold strong in Jesus Christ are savior.
Thank you. I thought o was the only one when I went to the holding/meeting place for heaven I could only hear what Jesus wanted me to hear.
And what did you do, came back? And where is heaven? Since you have been there..
@@victorprice7431 well it's not in the are planet system,its out past Jupiter about 25 seconds traveling at 296,000,000 km a second away from Earth. God does not let us know we're it is in the universe .And im not lying and im not Albert Einstein so don't try and make me feel bad about what truly happened to me.And are souls are amazing.
How did your body look? Was it younger and perfect? I’ve always heard that we will all be beautiful and perfect in Heaven.
@@monicaflanders6166 Are body is left behind and are soul is taken out it feels like a woman giving birth.The Soul is pure light and it is beautiful it is the same size and shape of your body you don't have any private parts because you don't need to eat or drink anything you are a light being in God's form. And there are no words to describe it and were designed that way so we can travel to heaven because we go as fast as light speed.
Thank you Lord when my son died the day on his birthday last Jan. 31 2020 I decided to had him cremated and for sure he is at Peace with our creator now 🙏🙏🙏
Very well taught; cogent, balanced, and irenic. Thank you for an excellent teaching on an occasionally contentious subject in families.
Very enlightening, I have struggled with this subject for a long time. I believed in my heart exactly what I just heard from your msg, but had also heard that my soul would not go to Heaven if I was cremated. I am a Christian & I know where I will spend eternity when I die. Thanks for confirming what I have always believed! God bless you! I am going to go back & study the scriptures that you referenced.
This is the best answer on this subject that I have ever heard. Very well said, Thank you Mr.Shuttlesworth.
I tuned in to you today for the first time. I believe in your teaching. I hope I did all the right things to be able to listen to you on a regular basis. Praise God for you.
Bless you Tiff! We had Dad (who was a born-again Christian) cremated, and though I didn’t have any qualms over this decision, Mum has since been worried that this may have been scripturally wrong. Tomorrow when I phone her I can direct her to this excellent video. Many thanks for taking the trouble to teach on this matter. Can I just say as a recent subscriber how much I am finding these teachings enjoyable, edifying and stimulating.
I had my daughter cremated. I could not afford a proper burial and I look forward to this message.
had mom body burned november 22 . pray to see her soul in futures. eternity. had not sn her 2015 as did not want too eal with her sufferring . love my dead parents and know their souls with Royal Throne off Godhead
Don’t worry. Your daughter will be waiting at the side of our Heavenly Father when you get there. ❤
@@stillcoolnana i really pray she is. I'm not really sure if she received Christ at the end.
We also chose cremation for our daughter & plan on doing the same. Cemeteries take up to much land. I wouldn't mind doing it like some of native Americans on a big pile of sticks.
@@johnmoyer5515 I was always opposed to cremation but God can put bodies back together. Plus it's just too expensive for a funeral. They can cost $10k and up. Plus once the bodies and casket start to decay all those chemicals will go into the ground which can't be good for the environment
If you can NOT afford a casket, etc. you are FORCED to set up everything via cremation but I always learned that life is " dust to dust" so feeling badly about cremation is not there.
Thank you for a wonderful teaching ! I’m a first time listener & enjoyed listening to you ! 🙏
* YES , MANY thanks for this VERY IMPORTANT Teaching Issue !! --- YES , once again , thank you Brother Tiff. --- * from across the Pond.
I have heard many speak about this study and what I've learned is in agreement with you Brother Tiff Shuttleworth. I thank you and the others that has helped me be at peace. God is always in control. God bless you.
I want to thank you for putting this out there. I have always believed that it doesn't matter what happens to the body after death or even during death because of the Bible saying that he will give us new bodies. But my partner was raised up in the Mormon faith and they tend to believe that if you are cremated it will keep you from going to Heaven. Now I can put my partner's mind to ease. Thank you! May God bless you always!
Lol
.
If the Creator of Heaven and earth can speak those things into existence then he is well able to resurrect a cremated body if he so chooses.
@Tim Molina yes. And a lot of that stuff is symbolic also. God will gather together my ashes..breathe the breath if life into them..and lo...here I am again.
@Tim Molina and if He really (really)! didn't want us to be cremated..he would have spoken like he did about Homosexuality. Leaving no room at all for any doubt 💯..so...yes.
My son past away 4-12-24,I've been have Trouble with laying him to rest,so I and my family decided to cremation for him because we didn't have the money for a traditional burial.i had so many questions about this I ask God to show if I was doing the right thing,and after watching this I'm ok with my decision,I thank God for his wisdom and understanding and guidance,amen
Our spirit goes to heaven no matter if bury or cremated. Thank you God for your love.
Thank you so much, I've been saved 34 years but still had this question, you made it so clear, my Pastor taught this many years ago & it was coming back to me as you were speaking, I have understanding now🙌🏼📖🙌🏼
Thank you so much for this message, my husband and I don’t have much money and cremation is what we can afford, I have agonized over this because I have been told we are wrong because Jesus is our example, and we should be buried as he was, I have agonized because I do not want to do anything that displeases my Lord, thank you I feel so much better and am at peace with our choice
I find myself in the same situation as you are and I have literally cried tears over wondering if cremation would destroy my eternal life. I am beyond grateful and relieved by this teaching as it gives me peace. When considering cremation it wasn’t just the expense it was also that I don’t have it my heart to put my family who has suffered so much through the traditional burial. I want any gathering to be a celebration instead of a burden. Thank you SO much Evangelist Tiff!! May God continue to bless you and yours!!❤️
Ĺlloloooolollloòppoo
So true because a man f of God die because he has burned to ash that don't mean that person going to hell
Me too... Amen
I asked a Baptist minister at a Bible study one time and he said that he believes that cremation is ok. I too have pre arranged me and my husband's demise even the stone. My niece us a funeral director and we will have a service with our pastor and scriptures etc but we are being created. Some ashes in the cemetery and a few at our favorite place to go.
