Peace be unto
Brethren,
Many still come as a
“Hit Dog that Hollers.” They come running from Truth as if Truth will go away.
Brethren if you believe in disposing the Dead by Smoke, Death and Fire,”
running and hollering will not save you. You still have a chance to repent.
However those already BURNED and ground to DUST have no chance for repentance.
Don’t be in the SMOKED and BURNED number. Nor be among those who have had their
BONES ground to DUST. Let the record show that the BONES will not BURN in the
FIRE of the OVENS of the CREMATORS.
Peace and Love,

CREMATION AND THE SPIRIT
PART 29: WHO WILL SAVE THE SOUL OF
THE CREMATORS?
In
the name of God master of the universe, Ruler of the earth
My dearly beloved
Brethren we are blessed to bring you greetings from God our Father and the
Father of humankind. The blessings of God also allow us to bring you
salutations from our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ. The Divine mission of Jesus
to save the world and return to the Father has also been a blessing in the
coming down of the Holy Spirit. So for all of this Triune of Love we are
eternally grateful.
As we love God and
hold reverence to God we are concerned about those that have erred from the
faith. Here we are not talking about the lost sinners that BURN the dead. At
this place we mean those in the Church especially those we have seen in the various
Churches of Christ that believe that you don’t need the Word of God to direct
you in disposing of the dead. Brethren will the righteous now take a few
moments to pray for all other people in the Churches that claim to be the
Lord’s Church that follow tradition, custom and personal opinion and not God.
So who will save the
souls of the CREMATORS in the Lord’s Church and the other Churches throughout
the land and country? Please turn with us to James 5.
James 5:19-20.
“Brethren if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;”
“Let him know, that
he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from
death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.”
Convert means to
reverse direction therefore we can find use for this word in re-directing the
path of believers. However many question the belief of many that stray from the
path. So to err from the truth means to wander from side to side. CREMATORS err
from the Truth. They speak of concern for the spirit and not the body. They
also say it is personal choice.
However our review of
the Bible notes that CREMATION is a sin. So a sinner here is a person of the
world or a wayward Disciple. However God offers repentance. Because in
repentance he can save his soul but to continue in the belief of CREMATION
means spiritual death.
We will now note
several companion scriptures first we turn to Proverbs 19:27. “Cease, my son,
to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge.”
To err means to step aside
from knowledge. For example we have reported documented proof regarding ungodly
Images and the sin of Cremation, (Book, Chapter and Verse) to the Elders of
Lawrence Avenue Church of Christ South Nashville, Tennessee to no avail. The
Church leaders like many others in various Churches of Christ shun the Word on
these issues and err. Thus committing spiritual death and damming their souls.
In Matthew 18:15-20
Jesus teaches believers about how to treat a believer that sins. We suggest
that those that err look at these verses however most that sin we have found
don’t want to be corrected in love or in any other way. They just want to
wallow in their own ungodly understanding.
1 Timothy 6:10. “For
the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they
have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.”
Again we note that
many people opt for CREMATION because they save money. The cost of a funeral
and burial to some is more expensive than BURNING the body. Meanwhile the Word
teaches us that the love of money is the root of all evil. Thus CREMATION is
evil because it is not ordained by God. So to err from the faith renders the
guilty man or woman and all that participate in CREMATION if they don’t repent eternal
damnation.
II Peter 3:17. “Ye
therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also,
being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.”
Sadly Brethren there
are many False Teachers among most of the Church buildings. This means also the
Church of Christ. For the record schools of Theology are a proving ground for
False teaching and the established order of various False Doctrines in the
various churches. However we are taught to beware of those that attempt to
straddle the fence. To be steadfast in the faith one has to turn from the False
teaching.
How do you do this?
In the last verse in this chapter we see the following:
3:18. “But grow in
grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be
glory both now and for ever. Amen.”
Brethren you cannot
grow in grace and gain the favor of God without knowledge of the Gospel.
However many come to add to the Gospel this is a lack of knowledge and way to
eternal damnation.

Will Save The Souls of The Righteous
