I specifically put in my will that I wanted to be cremated and have my ashes scattered because there is no way I want this body back once I get rid of it.

Love and blessings Don

Good question

i wondered about this, but i guess it really does not matter, why?...

What was it that God made man out of? DUST and Dirt

So if i got cremated, im sure reconstructing my body would not be a problem for almighty God.

But i guess on a more personal note, i think i would choose the natural body in the ground deal, at least i get to own a small block of real estate,, hopefully by the year 2110 it will be worth a million bucks heh heh, that'll show those damn real estate agents heh heh!

As per one religion human body is made of 5 elements that exist in nature. earth,air,water,gas and fire. According to the same religion the body has to be cremated so that it goes back to the nature. Its your soul that would have either take a rebirth or achieve salvation. Based on your deeds in this birth you might get a better or worse birth next time. I belive there is no heaven or hell, its all here... The only thing that breaks the cycle of birth and rebirth is salvation which can be acheived by good deeds and proper guidence of a spiritual guru.
Sorry, No offence was intended in this post.

Yes. He will raise ALL living and the dead.

Besides, think of someone who did not choose cremation, but the body was still destroyed in a terrible accident. It wasn't their fault or choosing. Like someone who drown in the depths of the sea, or was in a fire. They'll still be raised.

In addition, someone's body that was buried will decay and become dust over time, just as someone who was cremated becomes dust (only much quicker.) It's all the same in the long run.

This is a very good question, but let's take an answer logically instead of scripturally this time.

A body decomposes even with embalming, right? When the bodies come up from the grave, they will be restored. So, I think that if God can restore a physical body, he could also rebuild a cremated body.

ahh, the rapture, so easy to make promises that you will be dead to keep.
Pagans were not so taken by the salesmen of pray today, saved tomorrow, we wanted proof.
The origins of the doctrine of the rapture are hotly debated. The Orthodox, mainline Protestant, and Roman Catholic churches (which represent the majority of Christians worldwide) have no tradition of such a teaching and reject the doctrine, in part because they cannot find any reference to it among any of the early Church fathers [1] and in part because they do not interpret the scriptures the way that Rapture-believers do.

I don't see how whether someone is buried or cremated will make any difference in whether they go to heaven or hell. However, their relationship with Jesus, or lack thereof, will make a difference. He died on the cross for the sins of the world and rose again. He offers salvation for all.

So you mean anyone who's ever been in an accident where they burned to death, they're all out of luck?

How exactly is being cremated relevant to going to heaven? Does not the "soul" go to heaven?

You can choose whatever you want. What happens if your wishes aren't carried out? Does that person still go to heaven? Does a devout suicide bomber go to heaven? I'm going to tell you something: God or no God - dead is dead. You tell me where heaven is, and I'll buy two tickets.
