[backward in time]

Can animals go to heaven? humans are sinfull but does that mean that animals are sinful? i dont think so. just a thought.

Revelation 19:17 states there are birds in heaven, so there appears to be animals as well.

Hope this helps.

Just something I was always told that Dogs don't have souls but who really knows beside God..since he created them in all lol I guess we will see when we get there

That there are animals in heaven is certain. See for example Rev. 19:11-14 where Jesus comes riding a white horse with the armies of heaven following Him.

How awesome to think of!

But whether animals go to heaven--a beloved cat or dog--that remains for us to find out.

If that means there are horses in heaven, I'll be a happy camper indeed!!! LOL I sure hope so!! I mean really, didn't God create the Garden of Eden as our "heaven on earth" until we screwed it up? Couldn't we have that again? I hope so!

Right. Animals don't have souls. Like us, they ARE souls.

Bible says so.

I hope they go, and there's a part of me that says they must surely go. Not my idea of Heaven without them.

I'm not arguing with you, but where?

I've never noticed that before.

Me too since we have to put my cat down tomorrow morning.

Where? I am very interested. While I would love for my pets to make it there with me, I am skeptical of it happening. Then again, all that time I assumed that my cats have been sleeping, they could have been praying.

Hopefully my doggies that have died in the past are up in heaven.

Eccl 3:19-20 For the fate of humans and the fate of animals is the same; as one dies, so dies the other. They all have the same breath, and humans have no advantage over the animails;for all is vanity. All go to one place:...

I think Jesus riding the white horse is symbolic. I don't think Jesus will have a sword sticking out of His mouth either.

 

[oldrooster]

Sorry to hear about your cat, I think the Lord allows creatures into heaven, because they provide so much comfort and unconditional love on earth.

And do not forget that the Bible says "Let everything that has breath praise the Lord." That to me says that anything that breathes will be in heaven. We are created to Glorify God.

Hi acording to Jon Courson on firefighters.org human beings are made of 3 things. The physical body, the soul and the sprit. Animals have only the physical body and the soul and so do not go to heaven. Don't worry this also means they don't go to hell either!

So, then where do they go?

 

[daveleau]

Ecc 3:19 doesn't say that our souls all go the same place, does it? It merely states that our bodies both return to the dust from which it was created, right? I'm fully open to the idea that animals go to heaven, but have not seen anything other than my own selfish desires and my human emotions that say that animals go to heaven.


Ecc 3:19 For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.
Ecc 3:20 All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.
Ecc 3:21 Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?

 

[simguy83]

So, then where do they go?

Well obviously if they don't have a spirit then that would mean nowhere.
