What does the Bible say about cremation? | Ep. 20

What does the Bible say about cremation? Should Christians choose burial instead? In this episode of the Wisdom’s Way podcast, Dr. Tim Pollock addresses a question many believers face when thinking about end-of-life decisions. Looking at Scripture, he explains that while burial was the common practice in biblical times, the Bible does not give a direct command forbidding cremation.This episode explores key passages about burial, the resurrection, and God’s power over the human body—emphasizing that a believer’s future does not depend on the condition of their remains, but on the saving power of Jesus Christ. Ultimately, Dr. Pollock shows that this issue falls under Christian liberty and encourages believers to make thoughtful, God-honoring decisions without judgment, keeping the focus on the eternal hope found in Christ.Wisdom's Way is a production of The Home Church in Lodi, CAwww.wisdomsway.orgwww.thehomechurch.netwww.timpollock.orgIf you'd like Dr. Tim to answer a question you have, email us at [email protected]
