    Question: Do pets & animals go to Heaven? Do pets & animals have souls?
    In this week’s video we see what the Bible has to say about it, and after I’ll point to some helpful resources, so be sure to stick around to the end.
    The Bible does not give any explicit teaching on whether pets and animals have “souls” or whether pets and animals will be in heaven. However, we can use general biblical principles to develop some clarity on the subject. The Bible states that both man and animals have the “breath of life”; that is, both man and animals are living beings. The primary difference between human beings and animals is that humanity is made in the image and likeness of God, while animals are not. Being made in the image and likeness of God means that human beings are like God, capable of spirituality, with mind, emotion, and will, and they have a part of their being that continues after death. If pets and animals do have a “soul” or immaterial aspect, it must therefore be of a different and lesser “quality.” This difference possibly means that pet and animal “souls” do not continue in existence after death.
    Another factor to consider regarding whether pets will be in heaven is that animals are a part of God’s creative process in Genesis. God created the animals and said they were good. Therefore, there is no reason why there could not be pets and animals on the new earth. There will most definitely be animals during the millennial kingdom . It is impossible to say definitively whether some of these animals might be the pets we had while here on earth. We do know that God is just and that when we get to heaven we will find ourselves in complete agreement with His decision on this issue, whatever it may be.

      My precious fur baby is now a Senior and is definitely at some stage of her crossing the rainbow bridge. She is very inactive, and has lost I’d say 90% of her hearing. I’ve had the joys of having dogs for most of my life, but never have I had such an intense and emotional connection as with my Chloe. I adopted her from a rescue organization several years ago. I know in my heart that God put her with me as I soon figured out I needed her as much as she needed me. As a matter of fact, I have a keychain that’s in the shape as a paw print that says, Who Rescued Who?
      I have actually asked the Lord, through prayer, to please let my Chloe be in Heaven when I arrive there. This might sound strange to some people, but I know it doesn’t to the ones who feel the same about their pet.

    God knows we love our pets and He gives them to us to enjoy. I built a box, dug a hole today because we have to put down our kitty. Our kitty was very loving and kind to us so animals show affection and know how to love us in return. I believe Our kitty will be there waiting for us when we go home to be with Jesus amen.

    Yes, they do have souls. They may not have spirits, but they do have souls. Many people like to use those words interchangeably, but they don't mean the same thing. Animals can feel emotions. They just don't feel them the same way that humans do. The only two things they can't do is know right from wrong or worship God.

    I believe pets have souls and God put them here to teach us. I don't know whether their souls are more or less than ours but I'm certain that they are better than humans at the elements of the soul contract that we share. They seem like an idealizing mirror.

    Why are all videos directed to ‘pets’ going to heaven? This confirms the selfish mentality of a human being. Always thinking about their own needs.
    The real question which I’m pondering is : Do animals go to heaven ? What about those poor calves and piglets who got burned and roasted alive yesterday during the Ukrainian war ,, I saw on the news how Russian fire caught a hey stalk and spread to the animals. The lady said she heard “ the piglets and calves screaming as they roasted alive “
    This really torments my spirit. Please answer whether animals who suffer go to heaven. They don’t deserve that happening to them :( I’m having a hard time dealing with this.

    *Incorrect … Animals were not given a soul, and guess what, according to the Bible ... the fact is Human were not given a soul!*
    SOUL according to the original-language terms (Heb., neʹphesh [נֶפֶשׁ]; Gr., psy·kheʹ [ψυχή]) as used in the Scriptures show “soul” to be a person, an animal, or the life that a person or an animal enjoys. Plants, which are a living organism, are not referred in the Bible as a created nephesh.
    “And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” - Gen 2:7 KJV
    “And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.” - 1 Cor 15:45 KJV
    “and to every living thing of the land-and to every bird of the heavens, and to every thing that moveth on the land wherein is a living soul, every green herb for food. And it was so.” - Gen:1: 30 Rotherham Bible
    *Adam was not given a soul he was created a soul!* And as Gen 1:30 shows Animals are also a created Soul.
    *Created Souls are not immortal!*
    “Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: *the soul that sinneth, it shall die.”* - Eze 18:4 KJV
    The video is inaccurate according to the Bible … therefore TD!

    • @antoniodalton9256
      @antoniodalton9256 2 года назад

      A snake is a SNAKE for a reason, cursed to crawl on its belly. It will bite the heal of a man. If you your pet snake bites, you or tries to coal you, then you my ask it why? Your "pet" will respond by saying, "Well you knew I was a SNAKE to begin with".
      Snakes do intrique me personally. Jesus said to be WISE as a SERPENT. I would only "keep" ( not so much as a "PET" ) a snake to study their "Wise" behavior. Satan I guess had an infinity with the original serpent, because that creature probably reminded it of himself before his sin; WISE & BEAUTIFUL. It's said that a snake's skin held up in the sun reflects colors of a rainbow, even all black ones. The serpent before the fall walked upright & probably looked like a beautiful reptilian.
