Can you prove from Scripture, that upon death, the Holy Spirit remains forever in the physical body, that is buried or cremated?That is Gnostic teaching, pure and simple.
"WHAT? Know ye not that your body is the Temple of the Holy Ghost, which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price..." God OWNS the bodies of the saints - living or dead - which are victims to the consequences of Adam's decision to sin, as well as our own decisions to sin, when we have used it as a vehicle to perform those sinful actions. God does NOT dispose of property that He has paid the price of His blood to purchase. God WILL renovate His own property after death, raising it into an incorruptible condition when it can stand in His presence and be "presented faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy." (Jude 24).
"PRECIOUS in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints." To keep His promise to Adam, God MUST follow through with the death sentence because of sin, but in spite of that required justice, God still tenderly regards the dead bodies of the saints with "a desire to the work of His hands", as Job 14:15 told us.
I agree that while the soul is in this body, this body is also the temple of the Holy Ghost. Why would you claim it remains the temple after death?
If you point out some gnostic teaching, could you back your point up with some quote from gnosticism? When people reply, that is your opinion, or that is x, is that you guessing?
Can I suggest that an obsession with a dead body is not healthy?
