People Are Freezing Their Bodies to Avoid Death—Does It Work? | A Christian Perspective | EP23

❄️ Is freezing your body after death real? Can science bring people back to life? In this episode, we dive into the growing idea of body freezing after death—also known as cryonics—and examine both the secular and Christian perspectives behind it. Some believe that if we freeze the body, future science might one day revive it. But can frozen bodies come back to life? Does freezing your body work after death? And why are people choosing to freeze their bodies in the first place?
From a secular view, this is seen as a way to escape death, especially by those who don’t believe in an afterlife. It’s also tied to transhumanism, a movement that views death as a technical problem, not a final reality. But what is transhumanism? More importantly, what is the Christian view on transhumanism?
We explore the hope science offers versus the Christian view on cryonics, the Christian view on body freezing, and ultimately, what the Bible says about life, death, and the resurrection. We also discuss how the soul, not just the body, matters most and why our ultimate hope isn’t in technology but in eternal life through Christ. For believers, God, not science, controls life, death, and the resurrection.
