God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
What self denial! What self abasement! What self emptying! He, whom no infinitudes can hold, is contained within infant’s age, and infant’s form. Can it be, that the great “I AM THAT I AM” shrinks into our flesh?
Does the Bible Prohibit Cremation?
1. Scripture says nothing about a required mode of burial for either believers or non-believers. However, burying the body was the standard practice among the Israelites in the Old Testament and Christians in the New (exceptions: 1 Sam. 31:8-13; Jos. 7:25).
2. Obviously any buried body will eventually decompose (Ecc. 12:7). So cremation isn’t a strange or wrong practice – it merely accelerates the natural process of oxidation.
3. The believer will one day receive a new body (1 Cor. 15:42-49; 1 Thes. 4:13-18; Job 19:25-26), thus the state of what remains of the old body is unimportant.
4. The imagery of Christ’s resurrection pictures burial and then a raising up from the dead (Rom. 6:3-5; 1 Cor. 15:3-4). Because of that, many Christians prefer burial to cremation to maintain a likeness to Christ's burial (although literally He was laid in state in a cave, not buried in the ground).
1. In skillet, brown ground beef with taco seasoning. Add Sockarooni sauce;
heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low; simmer, uncovered, until most of the
liquid evaporates.
2. Mix crushed crackers & tortilla chips in bowl. Place ground beef
mixture, rice and remaining ingredients in individual bowls.
3. Allow guests to serve themselves, layering as follows: lettuce - crushed
crackers/chips - meat mixture - rice - tomatoes - carrots - onions - olives
pepper - celery - cheese - bacon - sunflower seeds - salsa
