Biblical Christianity and Funeral Ceremonies, Ceremonies Opposed by the Puritans, MP3

'In short, the Westminster Standards teach that there should be very minimal religious activity surrounding the burial of dead human beings.'

'As far as Christian practice is concerned, the idea of elaborate funeral services arose within the Roman Catholic Church. This fact helps to explain why the Puritans and Presbyterians decided to abolish funeral ceremonies: they were reforming the church according to the Word of God, so man-made doctrines and practices had to be discarded. Religious practices that could not be supported by Biblical teaching were rejected.'

Greg Price, on the Puritan Hard Drive (at http://bit.ly/ci3g2z) writes,

'Amazing surprises do come in small packages! May the Lord continue to use this most profitable tool to promote a Third Reformation that encompasses the whole world (Isaiah 2:2-4)!'
