[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought Jewish belief was that with the coming of the messiah, all dead people will rise up to heaven. I thought that's why it's not okay to get cremated or get an autopsy.[/quote] I posted this upthread. So this is incorrect? There is not a part of Judaism that says when the messiah comes, the dead will rise up again? And that you shouldn't be cremated for that reason?[/quote] Of course there is. Every orthodox Jew like me holds by Maimonides 13 principles. The last 2 are the coming of the messiah and reward and punishment. Reward and punishment necessitate ressurection of the dead, since it is not possible to do in this world, as clear reward and punishment in this world would remove free choice. [/quote] Maimonides views on resurrection are sort of a mess. He does say you get a second life but not that you spend eternity as a resurrected person. [/quote]
