Thank you for your reply and I respect your belief. The Word of God is very clear in demonstrating how we ARE NOT animals...man is made in the image of God and to say we are animals is to say that God is an animal. We are tri-part beings (spirit, soul and body). The Word of God is very clear on this matter. Animals do not have spirits but they do have souls. The Word of God is also very clear on this matter. Souls come from God thus the soul (breath of God) goes back to God upon departure from the natural realm. We are better than animals, we have dominion over the animals thus the Word of God in Genesis. All things were made for His Glory and His Pleasure...all things (man and animals). Animals do not contain knowledge of good or evil. Animals may attack and kill for food, protection or are victims of the sin of man.I believe that all animals do go to heaven. I believe this because first of all, technically, we are animals, and new studies are showing just how intelligent animals actually are, so they might be capable to sin (not sure, it might depend on the type of animal) For example, we are classified as primates, and there are some experiments where a monkey will trick another monkey so that he can get the food first. I mean, it's not exactly sinning, but it could be? Who knows. I just believe that all animals have souls. Believing that we are better than animals is a little shallow, IMO. (Side note, I'm not non-denominational, it was an accident when I was setting up my account)
