Greetings Brethren:
Let the record show
that humankind has not been commissioned by God to seek life elsewhere. Also we
note that no discipline of study is complete without knowledge of scripture. Thus
questions and answers can be raised and confirmed by seeking out the Word.
Brethren also on a
Social note. One looks quite foolish dressed in baseball, football, or
basketball attire and not a part of the team. So no matter who sets the style
or trends in clothes or dress, over-sized football, baseball or basketball
jerseys are not in style. But only attire for the world that also has rejected
the Truth of God and stare and defy at Heavens Door.
Peace and Love,
Carl Patton writing
for the FreedomJournal August 26, 2003 in the year of our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ.
P.S. Those that have
anything to do with removing the 10 Commandments from any building etc. will be
judged by God. Also for those that think that Christians are forcing their God
upon them when they say “your God.” Let it be written that there is only one
God. Those that think otherwise are Hell-bent.
Writers Note 6 May
2007. For the record the Ten Commandments were written for the Jews. In II
Corinthians 3: 7-11 we see that the tables of stone in which they were written
were done away. However Jesus Christ now teaches the Moral Law. He has answered
all of the Ten Commandments See Exodus 20: 3 and Jesus Matthew 4: 10, Exodus
20: 4 see Jesus Luke 16:3, Exodus 20: 7 see Jesus Matthew 5:34, Exodus 20: 8
see Jesus Mark 2: 27-28, Exodus 20: 12 see Jesus Matthew 10: 37, Exodus 20: 13
see Jesus Matthew 5: 22, Exodus 20: 14 see Jesus Matthew 5: 28, Exodus 20: 15
see Jesus Mathew 5: 40, Exodus 20: 16 see Jesus Mathew 12: 36 and Exodus 20: 17
see Jesus Luke 12: 15.
WE
WILL POST THE ENTIRE SERIES ON CREAMATION BECAUSE SO MANY PEOPLE ARE NOW
HELL-BENT TOWARD THE DISPOSAL OF THE DEAD.
CREMATION
AND THE SPIRIT
PART
2: THE GOOD, THE BAD & UGLY OF ASHES
In the name of God master of the
universe, Ruler of the earth.
We are thankful to
God our Father who has blessed us with another day. Yes, another day to see
Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior and relish the blessings of the divine
presence of the Holy Spirit. Our report continues brethren regarding the false
teachings and the dreadful state of the Church in 2003. The Church is Godly
however many have come claiming to represent the True Church but represent
Satan and evil.
We advise all that
have some knowledge of God. God is not pleased with the willful mis-use of the
Bible by many people that claim to be servants of God. There is no excuse for
the ungodly belief in Cremation except among the unrighteous and those that are
Pagans and Heathens. Therefore if you claim to be a Christian and you believe
in this Pagan practice you are a Foolish mis-guided ignoramus are a willful
unbeliever impersonating a Christian for some diabolical reason.
Ashes are related to
our subject because those that embrace Satan and are cremated dispose of ashes
and not a body. The following are the several secular definitions for this
term.
Ashes are what
remains of anything combustible after it has been burned. Also a dead person or
persons; remains. While ashes are noted in scripture the word Cremation is not.
However we would be remiss if we did not include at this place the secular
definition for cremation and the various ways this word is used.
Cremation (noun)
means the burning of a dead body to ashes instead of burying it.
Cremationist- a
person who advocates cremation instead of burial of the bodies of the dead.
Cremator- a person
who cremates corpses.
Crematory- a furnace
for cremating dead bodies. A building
that has a furnace for cremating.
“Many people at one
time were brought to the shores of North and South America from “The Land of
the Blacks.” An economic philosophy based on racial superiority and racial
inferiority came into existence. The resulting institutionalized nature of
racism, discrimination rendered many of these people to a certain death for
little or no reason. Thus we saw and heard Billie Holiday singing about
“Strange Fruit.”
This Fruit hung from
trees of Oak, Popular etc. throughout the South and even across the line that
had claimed freedom for these people. However in many instances after they were
hung from a tree to death the body was mutilated. This mutilation resulted in
many organs removed from the body and taken as souvenirs by people manipulated
to believe in White Supremacy and the denial of the Truth of God. But the most
devastating thing that happened too many of these bodies was they were burned
after the hanging and
mutilating had taken
place. This was the ultimate act of hate for this lowly person said to be
inferior and Black.
The record also shows
that there was/is another group of people that are related to those just named.
(However the record shows that these people often deny similar ancestry) But
yet the record is clear. Meanwhile God noted these people for a special
mission. In the process there was much disobedience among them and much hatred
arose among the Gentiles because of self-pride, economic questions and many
other concerns.
As the Black
Holocaust continues the Jewish Holocaust has ended. However the wretched
Germans burned countless souls of Jews in the fiery furnaces during the time of
World War II. So was/ is this Fire a living Hell.”
With that said will
Blacks are Jews opt for Cremation in this day and time?
In the Bible ashes is
a means to denote humiliation sorrow, worthlessness or purification.
Furthermore we note in order to avoid any confusion we advise you to read
Numbers 19: 9-10 and Hebrews 9:13. Ashes used in these passages of scripture
were produced by burning a red heifer and were used to bring about purification.
Is this the good in this article?
Ashes are often used
with other items. For example when Abraham approached God he referred to
himself as dust and ashes (See Genesis 18:27). More explicitly this scripture
identifies man’s origin regarding his body from the ordinary chemical elements.
Thus we see the distinction of man and his lowly position and the stature and
dignity of God.
Daniel fasted and
dressed himself in sackcloth ashes (See Daniel 9:3 and Mathew 11:21). Ashes
were commonly used to express grief. Jeremiah encourages the nation to mourn
over the coming destruction by rolling in ashes.
Jeremiah 6:26. “O
daughter of my people, gird thee with sackcloth, and wallow thyself in ashes:
make thee mourning, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation, for the
spoiler shall suddenly come upon us.” (Also see Zechariah 12:10).
For our information
in regard to our discussion we note the following. Sackcloth and ashes were
used in ancient times in conditions of great anxiety or grief or humiliation.
We will now review a scripture taken from the Book of Job.
Job 2:8. “And he took
him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat down among the ashes.”
Again we see the bad
and ugly nature of ashes as noted in scripture. With the use of a potsherd a
broken piece of earthenware Job sat down in the ashes for shame and distress,
and scraped off the accumulation of the discharge from the sores on his body.
In Job 13:12 we see something
that is compared to ashes suggests the worthlessness of the object. In Job
30:19 we see that ashes denote destruction.
In Ezekiel 28:18 we also see destruction.
“Thou hast defied thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the
iniquity of thy traffic; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of
thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in
the sight of all them that behold thee.”
The good in reference
to ashes is that fire is available to the righteous to destroy something.
However the bad is that ashes have nothing to do with righteousness or anything
Godly. Meanwhile the ugly is that ashes (burning) are never noted in scripture
as an alternative to burying the dead. Since ashes are the end result of
cremation or burning the dead we never see this option for disposing of the
dead. However the Bible notes consistently that we are to have a decent and
proper burial.
