one interesting thing i always like to ask when people bring up something similar to, "will my dog spot goto heaven when he dies?", is where do we draw the line of which animals we want in heaven and which animals we dont?
it seems that lots of people want the cute cuddly puppies and kittens and etc to goto heaven, but what about all the other living things out there? spiders, bats, herpes, diseases in general, all the blades of grass, the common cold, moss, algea, ameoba, mosquitos, etc. if somebody is arguing that animals do goto heaven, then i cant see why they could draw a line anywhere - to me that would mean that everything living went to heaven as well.
anyway, just funny how people want cuddly animals in heaven but i never hear about anybody asking, "will this bacterial infection in my lungs goto heaven when the doctors kill it?"
no biggie - its not beneficial to my salvation, i know im getting to heaven, whether or not animals do is between them and God i suppose. the Bible doesnt really give any clear indications one way or another - at least none i can see.
much Christian love!
