I have a question..

that's false.
the body is resurrected, else Christ Himself wasn't resurrected.

God made our bodies from dust, and can certainly put them together again.

Well..

This current flesh and blood cannot inherit eternity with God.. We shall be resurrected in bodies but that will be changed glorified bodies.. Uncomfortable bodies.. Perfect bodies.. They will not be our old bodies reformed..

The saved dead will receive a new body not their old body at the resurrection.

The living are raptured up to be together with Christ and the resurrected saints that came with Him. The dead saints aren't brought up from the Earth because they are in heaven and Christ brings them with him! The Resurrection occurs in heaven not the Earth.

2Co 5:1 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
2Co 5:2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:

The new body is in heaven! Here Paul uses an analogy of a building, house and tabernacle to represent a physical body. One of these is an "earthly house" meaning the mortal flesh body we are born into and then a heavenly house which is in heaven that represents the new immortal body. This speaks of when a saved humans body dies (dissolved) that there is another body in heaven waiting for them and the time of Resurrection. There is nothing in the passage about the person's spirit returning to their dissolved/dead body and it being brought back to life. Paul speaks of a different body that already exists in heaven.


2Co 5:3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
2Co 5:4 For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.

Paul writes that he desires to be clothed with the house from Heaven and says it is eternal in Heaven. That's the resurrected body and it is from heaven not from the Earth nor from an Earthly grave.


1Th 4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
1Th 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

The dead saints that resurrect are not brought to Jesus in a rapture but are brought with Jesus before the rapture even begins. That's a very important thing to recognize. Only those living saints are raptured and brought to Jesus and those he brought with him from heaven.

Jud 1:14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
Jud 1:15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

Jesus comes WITH his resurrected saints and then the living saints are raptured up to meet them.

Rev 19:14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

The saints and angels make up the heavenly army that comes from heaven.

Jesus does NOT come alone, and does NOT rapture up the resurrected saints, and then has a second rapture of the living saints. There is only ONE rapture and it is only for those that hadn't died!



1Pe 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
1Pe 1:4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,

Again, something awaits us in heaven. Is it not the new glorified body given in a heavenly resurrection?


If scripture interprets scripture then I submit:

Joh 14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

Though Jesus was a carpenter's son, I do not believe he is literally speaking of building a house in heaven for us but this being a reference to what 2 Corinthians 5:1 touches upon, a new body in heaven.

1Co 15:36 Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:
1Co 15:37 And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:

A mortal body is sown but a different body is what shall be received.


So, when it's time for second coming all the dead saints in heaven who are bodiless spirits will resurrect physically in heaven into the immortal body that was in heaven, then Christ will descend and the resurrected saints will follow Him, and when they reach the clouds above the Earth the living saints will be changed into immortal beings, then will be "caught up" in the Rapture to meet Christ and the heavenly saints and Christ will descend to his Earthly destination and all the will follow Him.

perhaps it is merely semantic, but the soul that has life does not cease to live.
if it persists & is given a body created wholly new, it isn't "resurrected" but "reincarnated"

Hello @Bevc00, this short article and/or video (the text of the video and the text of the article are the same) may be helpful.


~Deut
p.s. - the short answer to your question is "no" (unless the fact that no one was cremated in the Bible gives you reason for pause ).

for death, the soul is separate to the flesh.
The soul is what matters the most.

Thank you!

1Co 15:36 Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:
1Co 15:37 And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:

A mortal body is sown but a different body is what shall be received.

Scripture uses resurrection from a word that means to stand up. A bodiless soul cannot stand up unless it has a body. This is simply a different kind of resurrection.

The word also includes a resurrection as being figurative, and sometimes even a moral recovery as a form of resurrection so the word has more of a fuller and wider meaning than how most English speakers view it. ie: a dead body coming back to life. Many resurrections are a dead body coming back to life but some are different.

This is true for the living at the second coming. Their old living bodies will be changed to immortal bodies but this is not the same for those who are dead. See the above post.

How? Because that is what Scripture explicitly and unequivocally says.

Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin,
so also death was passed on to all men, because all sinned. Romans 5:12

Do you really not know this?

that's false.
the body is resurrected, else Christ Himself wasn't resurrected.

God made our bodies from dust, and can certainly put them together again.

Man in this scripture can refer to mankind.. not the specific gender male..

Is there anywhere in the Bible that says if you’re cremated you won’t go to heaven?

No, the Bible does not say that. By the same token those who are in Christ will not be cremated, since they are to be buried in graves. Cremation is a pagan custom, and it remains pagan even when practiced by Westerners. There is no such thing as "ashes to ashes" in the Bible. It is only"dust to dust".

I totally disagree.. Woman inherited the sin nature and pass it on just as men do.. And how can one have the position that Sin entered the world through Adam when Eve was the first to sin?

Gen_18:27 And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes:

Would you rather hear what God has to say?

In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. (Gen 3:19)

Job got it right: Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again? (Job 10:9)
