fiddlers on the roof
it's tradition.
Egyptians did it.
Mayas did it
Even Incas in Peru did it.
Let's do it.
Let's bury our dead.
Basically the idea of having the body whole comes Iguess from I Corinthians 15, where the inference is that the bodies are raised incorruptible -- then we have the disparity between this and the good souls already being in Heaven -- so the question is why have the body when it's already considered just a useless housing of the Immortal Soul -- ask where that comes from Kooka.
So Christians want to mummify and preserve the bodies of their dead.
Although we have a new noted development in archaeology whose authenticity is still being disputed by the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA), but is accepted by a host of others -- and this is the ossuary, or bone box with the inscription on it in 1st Hebrew Century script, reading, "James the son of Joseph, the brother of Jesus", as translated into English. If this is authentic, we have evidence of one of the first "Christians" following the Jewish tradition of laying the body on a shelf in a tomb-cave (like where Yeshua was laid), which tne decomposes where all that's left after a year is the skeleton and then the skeleton is placed in an ossuary. And if this is true, then this early "Christian" did not adhere to present Christian tradition.
So we have to search the internet for where this tradition of burial came from if it wasn't practiced among the first believers.
