Welcome to the fourteenth episode of our 17-part series, where we debunk every argument that claims cremation is unchristian or against the Bible. In this video, we take on the Tertullian Argument: the claim that because early church father Tertullian opposed cremation, it must be wrong for Christians today.
📖 Here’s what we’ll discuss:
A look at Tertullian’s writings and his personal opinions on cremation.
Why Tertullian’s beliefs, while influential, are not equivalent to biblical doctrine.
Examples of other ideas from Tertullian that modern Christians would reject.
How Scripture, not human opinion, remains the ultimate authority for Christians.
✨ Key Takeaway: While the early church fathers offer valuable insights, their personal opinions don’t carry the weight of God’s Word.
✅ If you’ve ever heard this argument or wondered how much influence early church writings should have on modern Christian practices, this video provides clarity and perspective.
