Animals will be on the Paradise Earth where Gods people will be. It said "the meek will inherit the earth"Since there is still wickedness it hasn't happened yet. It also says "the lion will lay with the lamb" well we know that hasn't happened yet . |

Rob...Are you getting your information from "The Watchtower"? |
|
---Elisabeth on 5/25/08 |
Regardless of our varying opinions, the Bible is silent on whether our pets will be in heaven. It is, however, very clear that there will be animals in heaven. All I can say is "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him"....I wouldn't put it past God |

Animals only have a soul, which consist of mind, will and emotions...They are not spirit beings...However, they do have a physical body that can be possessed and used by the devil and his demons...This is biblical...
And, No, they don't go to heaven...their body goes back to dust...because they are not spirit beings.
However, the Bible does mention the Lion lying down with the Lamb... and baby's being close to snakes etc.etc in heaven. |

Somehow I just can't imagine heaven with 'cow pies' and worse scattered around!
Maybe just cats, they clean up after themselves! |
|
---NVBarbara on 5/21/08 |
As animals are sinless, I see no reason why they couldn't go to Heaven.
If for no other reason than looking at just other humans would get pretty boring after an eon or so. |

Thanks DDM, I didn't think of ALL the pets I've had in my lifetime, I'd need and ark! I agree, the bible states that the New Jerusalem will proceed out of heaven and that will be our new home.
Indeed, beloved, let us love one another, and the hardest part is to love the unlovable showing the love of God to them and bringing them to the Lord.
God bless you my brother.

If you read before verse 21 in Ecclesiates
3 you need to read verses 19 and 20 where it says that all are alike and all go to the same place where one goes the other goes,
man has no advantage over the animals it says that we all go to the same place |
|
---Rob on 5/15/08 |
I didn't mean to imply that they(my pets) are going to Heaven , I think i said the Opposite?
I don't believe they'll be there. |
|
---Duane_Dudley_Martin on 5/15/08 |
NVBarbara_Amen to that!
Personally, I can't see me having ALL my pets that I've had over the Years while in Heaven.
AS you probably know I don't believe we will live in Heaven forever, But on this Earth in the New Jerusalem that desends from the New Heavens.
But that should'nt change how the Children of God Treat one Another, Because one day we will all know the truths & the Ways of our Father.
It is very cute, thank you!
God Bless & keep you Always. |

---Duane_Dudley_Martin on 5/15/08 |
DDM::As NVB stated "Cute"but the law is the law "NO DOGS CATS PETS allowed" because they are not made to the image and likeness of God.they are Finite. God's Pets are his children.Now dont be upset I am not calling you a pet! |
|
---Emcee on 5/15/08 |
People are more concerned about their family pets than their own relatives.
Will your relatives go to heaven when they die? Will your next door neighbor?
Forget about the family cat, pet hamster, are you and your husband going to heaven? |
|
---Rebekah_Martin on 5/15/08 |
That's cute DDM. I don't know, but I'd like to have "Knothead" my Maine Coon cat in heaven with me, also my Alaskian Malamute "Bear". But as long as I'm there with my LORD, that's REAL happiness, animals or not. |
|
---NVBarbara on 5/14/08 |
What do you believe this verse means?
Eccl 3:21 Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?
Doesn't look like they are going to the same place. |

Go Preach the Gospel to EVERY Creature.
My Chihuahua "Chuy" Bows his front legs and puts his head down between his feet when i get on my knees and Pray before i read my Bible.
And he'll sit next to me & listen all day if i read it to him.
It's Cute how he tilts his head back & forth as i read.
He whines when i tell him Jesus Loves him.
We'll find the cat furgie in the hamster Biggie's cage asleep W/Biggie & the Dog if we let him.
Kind Pets. |

---Duane_Dudley_Martin on 5/14/08 |
Just a thought hmmm? the Bible talks of a child laying or sitting next to a lion. Something about a snake. God created these in the world we live now - but I do not know where it might say He is going to recreate them in heaven. They may not have a soul ... but they did not sin. God's focus is on all living.. Remember the sparrow? But who He is talking to is man and salvation for them because of sin. Just a thought. |
|
---Linda on 5/14/08 |
Well,when we are in heaven we will be able to do the things God does So to me that means if we have a desire (and I'm not sure we will) to have one of out pets with us we'll be able to have it.That would be much easier than walking through walls and transporting ourselves somewhere by just thinking we want to be there and we are.Jesus did it and Phillip was transported once according to the scripture. |
|
---shirley on 5/14/08 |
DDM, your assumption is right :)) |
|
---Caring on 5/14/08 |
I'm sure that there are some animals that will be going to heaven. If they have confessed Jesus Christ, their status from animal to believer makes them eligible for heaven. |

Being "Wrong Again", Is assuming i was wrong in the 1st place. |

Emcee_I'm sure it will fit, I'm a man of many hats, 1st responder HAZ-MAT, Umpire for Little league Baseball & Girls Softball, ASA cert. umpire men & womens Softball,Marine,Man of God, Husband & dad of 3 for 28 yrs...
However, this doesn't change the Fact that, the River of Life WILL flow from the Throne of God and replenish the Dead Sea & 12 fruits, Ect.
In 1948 Israel was Just Desert, Now its the biggest fruit & nut exporter in the World. |

---Duane_Dudley_Martin on 5/14/08 |
Juat a tiny correction: Millstones (not Milestones) or mill stones are used in windmills and watermills, including tide mills, for grinding wheat or other grains.
The type of stone most suitable for making millstones is a siliceous rock called buhrstone (or burrstone), an open-textured, porous but tough, fine-grained sandstone, or a silicified, fossiliferous limestone. In some sandstones, the cement is calcareous.
These are usually very large and HEAVY. |

Is there baseball in heaven? |

---Greyrider on 5/14/08 |
DDM::wrong again read all the text you are not the block head as you imagined.DO you have a finite soul?DDm get with the script but if you still insist then I shall have to say if the cap fits you charge yourself by your self determination.But I forgive you.Takes all kinds to make a world. |
|
---Emcee on 5/14/08 |
At the first resurrection, upon the return of Jesus, the dead in Christ shall rise and the living shall rise with them to heaven. Now do animals have any concept of Christ?
New Heavens and a new earth. Those who endure until the end will inherit the new earth. At the second resurrection the rest of the dead shall be judged from the Book of Life. People will be judged, not animals. But animals will live on the new earth because it is written that the lamb will lay next to the lion. |

Emcee_"Bill bila:,Much to my surprise I have to agree with your findings we call em "Blockheads":-o DDM you do need to read the whole of Exekiel to comprehend The water flowing from the temple is to The sea of Humanity,to restore them.
---Emcee on 5/13/08"
Have you forgotten so soon(2hrs. ago)?
Are these Not your words?
A Milestone Is a Heavy block of stone,
something like a modern day st. sign. |
|
---Duane_Dudley_Martin on 5/13/08 |
DDM:: I belive I do not recall calling you a name as you suggest But if the cap fits.BTW:-what is a Milestone? did I scandalise you?sorry and thanks for your profuse forgiveness, what ever for --something suspected? |

It is only saved souls that enter heaven. Man being made in the image of God was created as a living soul (Gen.2:7). All things in heaven shall be without sin. But we will be able to see all that we love in heaven, and if you desire to see animals then you shall. The proof of this is held by faith, in God promise to give you your hearts desire (Psa.21:1-2). |

Emcee_I've read the Whole Book of Ezek.
A 100 times and that's a conservative Est. too.
I think you should reread it, and keep it in perspective to the realities of its Message.
IS that what Johns Saying in the Book of Rev. Too?
The water & trees are Just a symbolic Gesture of some sort to Humanity?
It bewilders me, Why man are willing to blind themselves to the word of God,
And not so much blind themselves, But try and Blind others of a Clear message. |
|
---Duane_Dudley_Martin on 5/13/08 |
Bill_Right "after" John speaks of the New Jerusalem, he speaks of The Water that flows from the throne of God & the Trees that bear 12 kinds of fruit that WILL be USED to HEAL the Nations(World), AS it does in Ezek.
Even the names of the Gates & the Foundations are spoken of in Ezek. as it is in the book of Rev.
I pray that the revealing Spirit of the Holy Ghost, Reveals this to you, So you may find the same joy I have on this Matter. |
|
---Duane_Dudley_Martin on 5/13/08 |
Emcee_You seem real sure of yourself,
Being comfortable calling Children(ME) of God "Blockheads"?
My Brother says it would be Better for you IF you had a Milestone tied around your neck and cast into the Sea then to Offend one of HIS(ME)...
I Forgive you, wheather HE will IS a diff. story though. |
|
---Duane_Dudley_Martin on 5/13/08 |
While I do not know the answer to this question, I do know that this is going to take place in the future. What is the THIS it is revelation 21:5 "And he that sat upon the throne said,BEHOLD, I MAKE ALL THINGS NEW Behold . And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. All flames might mean animals also. |

Life of animal is in blood - life of man is in spirit. when God created man He breathed living spirit into him something which He didn't do to animals. so when animals die that will be the end. |
|
---Thabi on 5/13/08 |
In parable I am sure, as all names in the bible i.e. book of life, never do die, Elijah was taken up by horses. There is the animal Covenant found in Hosea 2:18 but I guess that for the sciences to prove, when we return to the clouds of glory to be with Christ, and born again for another shot at the glorified body in faith and commandments. |
|
---michael on 5/13/08 |
From everything I have read, no, animals do not go the heaven when they die. I see some post that make no sense at all. Oh, and I don't believe Billy Graham would have taught such heresy. |
|
---Millard on 5/13/08 |
there arent any verses that i know of, but i believe that they do. why would god give us the good pleasure of being owned by a pet, and then take it away when we reach home? that doesnt sound like my daddy. |
|
---joyce on 5/13/08 |
Bill & everyone else_Read
Ezek.47:8-12
The water of life that revives the Dead Sea(Where it talks about FISHING) & the trees that bear 12 kinds of fruit.
The Gates & Foundation of the New Jerusalem are found in the Ezek.48:31-35
Now, Read
Rev.22:1-2
Water of life & Tress that bear 12 fruits.
Rev.21:12-14
Gates & Foundaton. |

Emcee (o: I think there are *men* who are "Finite who operate by instinct and cannot reason" (o:
Duane . . . right before John speaks of "the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down", he says, "there was no more sea", in Revelation 21:1. So, it looks like no fishing in the Dead Sea. Are you really into fishing . . . so fishing on your mind can effect how you interpret scripture (o:
Please give us specifically the Ezekiel scripture you are talking about. |

---Bill_bila5659 on 5/12/08 |
Everyone has to start RELIZING, were NOT going to live in Heaven forever!
God clearly states this AND I have clearly stated this to you All.
The New Jerusalem that DECENDS from Heaven and God dwells with man on this Earth, That will be Healed by the Life giving water that flows from the Throne & the Trees that bear 12 kinds of fruit & leaves that will be used to heal the nations, The Dead Sea Revived, so we can fish.
You find this in Ezek. & Rev. or one of my Blog replies elsewhere. |

I think the Bible is very clear on this matter but I have been told I'm wrong more the once God spoke life into the animals and breathed life into man so I dont think there will be animales in Heaven but thats just my way of thinking |
|
---Ron on 5/12/08 |
I have been asked this question many times. But because I'm not an animal lover I have refused to give any answer. Man I respect fully request that we make sure of our own salvation and let the father handled the animal question. |
|
---Mima on 5/12/08 |
Those "living creatures" with animal features, of Revelation 4:6-11, are there, but John does not mention animals.
Once I saw a soldier ant chop an ant in two, and another ant came, stopped at the one chopped in two, then rushed to attacked the soldier ant. Does this mean an ant can feel the loss of a loved one and feel desire for revenge? |
|
---Bill_bila5659 on 5/12/08 |
There are heavenly creatures that constantly worship God.
God does not uncreate what He has created.
God does not destroy His creation.
One day the lion and lamb will lay together without the lion devouring the lamb.
It's highly unlikely that snakes are going to heaven when they die...for the family pet going..God doesn't give us a definitive scripture. I don't think there will be cats roaming around up there, but dogs are extra special. :-} |
|
---lisa on 5/12/08 |
This concept of animals going to heaven is poorly thought out sentimentality.
IF animals go to heaven - do ALL animals go to heaven? Just pets? All pets? Just the cute ones? What about the pet scorpion, centipede, snake, tarantula? What about the ants in a little boy's ant farm? What about the microbes on a crust of bread that is some childs cherished science project?
It gets pretty ridiculous pretty quickly. |
|
---Bruce5656 on 5/12/08 |
If pets get to go to Heaven then you can't exclude to possibility of other creatures that we don't enjoy that much. Sand flees, prehistoric creatures and the list can be endless. God might fabricate a new pet for you in heaven but I truly doubt that animals made the short list before the creation of the world. |
|
---notlaw99 on 5/12/08 |
I have heard people say "no" animals do not go to heaven but I see no evidence to back this up. In fact the bible says that the lion and lamb will sleep together there. Also, many people love their pets enough to pray for them to go to heaven and the bible says that whatever we "loose on earth will be loosed in heaven and what we bind on earth will be bound in heaven". It says to "preach the gospel of all "creatures". Why? So that they can go to heaven, me tinks.:) |
|
---jody on 5/12/08 |
I hope so.
I won't be so bold as to assert that it's true there's passages in scripture that could argue both ways.
That's up to God, and we'll see, but I like to think they will be with us. |
