If it is not mentioned in the Bible then does that mean it is okay to do it?

Question

I don't have any intensions on doing this and I do not even think about it as it revolting.
But it has came to my attension that necrophiilia is not mentioned in the Bible.There is no punishement for this either.
So does this mean you are allowed to do this in the eyes of God? As he has not mentioned it as being a sin.
As I said this is repulsive subject matter and do not or wish to partake in this activity.
Please do not take offence to this question, I would like to see what you think about this?
Is this proof that God is not perfect like most people think?

Answer 1

HA! it was probably left out due to the horrific nature of the act, thus punishment is inevitable. Also was necrophilia some thing practised in the days of the bible, it would seem to be something of a modern sin, I don't know?

Answer 2

I am going to answer this question straightforwardly and sincerely, as I hope that's how you meant it, because the basic question covers lots of other things besides the specific issue you listed. This is strictly a "layman's" perspective; I'm sure a minister might have a more detailed answer.
Actually you could say that this practice is covered by the law in Numbers 19 that even to touch a dead body would defile a person and he/she would have to go through a ritual of purification.
In the parable of the Good Samaritan Jesus told, this is presumably why the priest and Levite didn't stop to help the man who was beaten--if he were dead & they touched him, they would be unclean for several days & have to go through extra rituals.
As Christians, we believe that the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross has fulfilled the law and we are under grace. He gives us new life in Him, and His Holy Spirit dwells in us. The apostle Paul explains that our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit, and we are to live in such a way as to bring glory to God and not defile our bodies.
A person truly wanting to please God will search his conscience and be convicted by the Holy Spirit of things which are sinful. Jesus went so far as to proclaim that someone who "lusted in his heart" was guilty of adultery. Since God knows and judges even our inmost thoughts, I don't really think He would leave this situation out as a "loophole".
I agree, necrophilia is repulsive. God finds all sin repulsive. The prophet Isaiah said that He sees our human righteousness as a filthy rag. The bottom line is that no human can make it through life without breaking God's laws--that's part of the reason the law was established, to show us how guilty and imperfect we are before a righteous and holy God. It's not about trying to figure out what we can and can't get by with. There isn't a big scale in heaven where our bad deeds are weighed against our good deeds and as long as we did more good than bad, we're okay, or as long as we meant well, it will be ok. There won't be any high-priced lawyers in heaven to get people off on technicalities. The only thing that will save any of us is the grace of God through Jesus Christ.
I hope you know Jesus as your Savior. If you are truly seeking, find a local Bible-preaching church that can lead you in further study.

Answer 3

There are many "things" that are indeed not mentioned in the word of God. The Lord does take for granted, that the guidance of the Holy Spirit, in the life of the born-again believer will guide him into all truth.
Did you know, that for some Christians..it would be wrong for them not to return a shopping cart to it's proper location?
For them..that would be an expression of a lack of love and concern for others( those that need the cart, and those who are employed collecting the carts).
The example you cite is unthinkable.

Answer 4

Probably the reason that it is not expressly mentioned in the Bible is because it doesn't have to be. Most people have a natural aversion to this, so there is no point in telling them not to do something if they aren't going to do it anyway.

Besides, it seems to be implied by what Jesus said in Matthew 19 when he said that sex was intended to be between a husband and wife only. That would seem to exclude everything else by default.

Answer 5

However it does say "witchcraft" this includes necrophilia 2 Chronicles 33 "practiced sorcery, divination and witchcraft" this is also including necrophilia. The Lord also says not to contact evil spirits, and this is also doing a similar thing

Answer 6

Even if necrophilia were mentioned in the bible, The Nolte would still find it impossible to avoid that delicious indulgence.

Answer 7

Yes, it's in the Bible. It falls under a broader definition or prohibition. Look under sexual immorality.
Are you actually looking for "proof" that God is not perfect?

Answer 8

--PRINCIPLES IN THE BIBLE are far more weighty than laws! Note "PRINCIPLE" in definition:
****PRINCIPLE-- signifies a point (or points) of probability on a subject (e.g., the principle of creativity), which allows for the formation of rule or norm or law by (human) interpretation of the phenomena (events) that can be created. The rules, norms and laws depend on and co-create a particular context to formulate. A principle is the underlying part (or spirit) of the basis for an evolutionary normative or formative development, which is the object of subjective experience and/or interpretation. For example, the ethics of someone may be seen as a set of principles that the individual obeys in the form of rules, as guidance or law. These principles thus form the BASIS FOR SUCH ETHICS (my caps."(Wikipedia)

--THUS WHEN one wants to find out if an act such as NECROPHILLIA is condemened in the Bible one would have to look to PRINCIPLES that could have a bearing on such an act, as is strongly suggested in this text:

(2 Timothy 3:16-17) “. . .All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for DISCIPLINING IN RIGHTEOUSNESS (my caps), 17 that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work. . .”

--TO ILLUSTRATE, there is no where in scripture where it specifically says "DO NOT THROW GARBAGE ON YOUR NEIGHBORS LAWN" but the principle in the Bible given by Christ to "love your neighbor as yourself" would cover the prohibition of such an act!

--STIPULATION ON TAKING a Nazarite vow, voluntarily or not included the following:

(Numbers 6:5-6) “. . .“‘All the days of the vow of his Naziriteship no razor should pass over his head; until the days that he should be separated to Jehovah come to the full, he should prove holy by letting the locks of the hair of his head grow. 6 All the days of his keeping separate to Jehovah HE MAY NOT COME NEAR (my caps) any dead soul.”


*** INSIGHT IN THE SCRIPTURES-2 pp. 477-478 Nazirite ***
--"Requirements if Nazirite became defiled. A Nazirite would become unclean for seven days if he touched a dead body, even if, because of an accident beyond his control, he inadvertently touched someone that died alongside him. On the seventh day he was to shave the head and purify himself, and the next day he was to take to the priest two turtledoves (or, two young pigeons), one serving as a sin offering, the other serving as a burnt sacrifice; he was also to present a young ram as a guilt offering. Furthermore, the one having taken the vow of Naziriteship must now begin all over again counting the days of the vow as stipulated at the start".—Nu 6:8-12.......
--PLEASE NOTE:
(Numbers 6:8-10) “. . .“‘All the days of his Naziriteship he is holy to Jehovah. 9 But in case anyone dying should die quite suddenly alongside him so that he has defiled the head of his Naziriteship, he must then shave his head in the day of establishing his purification. On the seventh day he should shave it. 10 And on the eighth day he should bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the priest to the entrance of the tent of meeting.”

--THUS IF the touching of a dead body by accident took place, according to the law such a NON-deliberate act would render an individual UNCLEAN!
--WITH SUCH a stipulation just for an accidental touch were so stringent , can you imagine with all the laws on sex , in the Bible with a LIVING person given to the Israelites --HOW MUCH MORE serious would it be in God's eyes to have any sexual contact with a dead body?

--BIBLE PRINCIPLES show God to have great insight for application to any matter in human endeavor! As stated by many a noteworthy person:

--*** g84 3/22 p. 10 Why Should I Read the Bible? ***
--“It is the best book that ever was or will be in the world, because it teaches you the best lessons by which any human creature who tries to be truthful and faithful can possibly be guided.”—CHARLES DICKENS, English author

Answer 9

Bible is not all our life styles. We can only consider in the simular story of the bible, we may have to counter with so and so situation. It does not mean you will be or you should.

Answer 10

It would be wrong to abuse a dead body, the only thing to do is bury the body, some religions won't even let you do a autopsy or embalm the body.
