Lucifer was not Satan and never was. Lucifer was just a term for a Babylonian king in a proverb (it even directly stated as such) but people think it's Satan because they just cherrypick verses of Isaiah 14 that they then claim applies to someone it doesn't because what they were led to believe doesn't match contextual reality.
And the serpent in Genesis was never anything more than a serpent. The punishment to slither on the ground would make no sense if it was punishing someone who could shapeshift, but perfect sense if it was just a serpent. It's used as an explanation for why snakes slither on the ground and seem to eat dust (which they don't, they use their tongues to smell). The idea of the serpent being Satan didn't arise until the time of Revelation.
The only author I know of that has addressed this is issue is CS Lewis in his book, "The Problem of Pain" The book addresses pain in the world in general but he spends several chapters asking the same question as to why animals suffer when sin is the fault of mankind. The link to the book is a free online html version of the book.
And the book of Revelation is the Inspired Word of God that reveals the truth about satan..
Revelation 20: KJV
1 "And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. {2} And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,"
Accept the Word of God..
part of the fall is that all of creation was put under a curse. this includes animals.
because they are part of the creation that came under the curse of the fall.
animals were not made in the image of God. only mankind was. however, there will be animals in heaven just like there will be trees in heaven, but they will be there as simply being part of God's creation and not so much as redeemed souls like humans.
Ok then why do animals suffer just like that? You said it was curse. Jesus died for that only. So why animals still suffer?
You could use the sam reasoning for why people still suffer. It seemed that whatever Jesus did, nothing happened after it. Nothing changed. There was no great transformation of things being alright with the world. Everything carried on like no change had happened.
Jesus died for the sins of mankind to reconcile them to God through himself. Believers still die and so do animals.Ok then why do animals suffer just like that? You said it was curse. Jesus died for that only. So why animals still suffer?
His conclusion surprised me. God never intended animals to be wild. All creation was given to Adam for caretaking. Lewis believed that all animals were meant to be in relationship with mankind as the representative of God on Earth. He said that pets are more in the right environment that God intended than wild animals. The problem, of course, is that man does not care for animals but hunts and kills them. Consequently the fear of man is upon all animals. Animals, then, had to resort to an unnatural life which we call wild.I may not get time to read that book. Kindly let me know what is the conclusions made by author?

Animals don't go to heaven or hell. They just die and return to dust.Humans will suffer for first sin, they will go to heaven becasuse Jesus crucified for us?
Then animals will also suffer for our first sin, and they can't go to heaven even though Jesus crucified for us
Not correct and logical too

Only mankind was made in God's image.
Proverbs chapter 12 verse 10Kindly don't think I'm not strong believer of Jesus for these kind of questions
I'm strong in faith but I don't have anyone to ask these questions. That is why I'm asking in this platform
My questions:
1. Jesus died for our sins and we are healed with Jesus wonds. Then why do animals suffer when they can't commit any sin?
2. When Lord take care of every creature why do animals suffer
3. Heaven and hell is only place for humans but not animals?
PS: I have posted this thread after seeing an autistic dog which is roaming on street without any purpose..It's going here and there.. My heart is broken after seeing that.. I cried unto God in my prayer to cure that dog
Plants suffer to. They don't have souls, don't go to heaven or hell, and are also not made in the image of God.Ok if animals can't have fruits for their suffering unlike how human can enter into heaven, then why do they suffer unnecessary
If Adam and Eve sin led to animals suffering even after Jesus crucifixion and they can't even enter into heaven , then animals are badly ignored by God. They will only suffer but they don't get any fruits for their suffering as a result of human sin.
This seems to injustice completely

Humans will have eternity but animals don't have eternity though they suffer like humans
Hi. Well certain animals are used for food and clothing. In some countries rat and dog and possibly cat are a part of the diet.Kindly don't think I'm not strong believer of Jesus for these kind of questions

John 11:26Jesus died for the sins of mankind to reconcile them to God through himself. Believers still die and so do animals.
