Why were the bodies of King Saul and his sons burned instead of buried in 1 Samuel 31:12?
I understand the Bible says that God requires a blood sacrifice (Hebrews 9:22). I have heard preachers say that if Jesus had not shed any blood, then his death would not have been a valid sacrifice. Why does God require a blood sacrifice? I know the life of the flesh is in the blood (you can not live without blood), but you can die without bleeding. What is the significance of the blood sacrifice?
My mother passed away and I find myself wanting a clear answer to where she has gone. To a deep sleep until God comes again or to some where in the heavens? Thank for taking the time in answering my question.

I am doing a study on who controls the weather. I would appreciate any help on this topic.
