I don't agree with cremation, the bible says we will rise from our graves when Jesus comes so that is impossible if someone was cremated. Burn the bodies to ashes? What in the world? I saw a youtube video of how it's done, it's disgusting.

If you don't agree with cremation, that's your choice. While Judaism and certain Christian denominations may prohibit cremation, God does not. Everyone will be resurrected regardless of what happens to their body. A person whose body is vaporized in an explosion, or whose body is dissolved in acid, or whose body is eaten by an animal, etc... will be resurrected just as surely as a person whose body has been buried. God knows where the atoms are which make up the bodies of an individual regardless of how the body is disposed of and He is able to restore the body in resurrection. Though some may reject the practice of cremation on religious grounds, it is in reality a non-issue.

Not only is cremation okay in the eyes of God, but he WANTS you to do it so you can save money and stop wasting thousands of dollars you don't have. The word says he knows every hair on your head and he built Adam from the dust of the Earth. Do you really think he couldn't bring it all back together? He's God. He created the universe. He can surely bring your dead body back together no matter what the state.

Acts 24:15 having a hope in God, which these men cherish themselves, that there shall certainly be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked.
The righteous and the wicked covers everyone.
John 5:28 "Do not marvel at this; for an hour is coming, in which all who are in the tombs will hear His voice, 29] and will come forth; those who did the good to a resurrection of life, those who committed the evil to a resurrection of judgment.
The phrase 'all who are in the tombs' is not to be taken as referring only to someone who has been buried on a plot of land, but is to be understood as referring to all who have died.

Wait, you mean all those Christians burned to death get no resurrection???
Please note; it does not matter what happens to the body as after all, those who became fish food do get a resurrection.
Revelation 20:13 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
There is nothing in scripture that forbids or even condemns cremation. The idea it is wrong is a strange tradition of man, that seems to believe God can't resurrect who ever he wants from any condition.
Maybe Churches that own graveyards started it to raise more money?

You must not have much faith in the power of Jesus if you really think human ashes are "impossible" for him to resurrect
There is nothing wrong with cremation and the Bible does not say it is not allowed..
What difference does it make how fast we turn to dust..?
