A question for all you bible freaks, If GOD created all living things,do animals go to heaven when they die ?

Question

If the answer is "yes" do they go to the same heaven as us? if not how are we going to get steak, lamb chops,and bacon.not to mention fish and chips? i'm beginning to wonder if it's worth all the trouble of being good? I'M thinking of robbing a bank should i do it or stay faithful ?

Answer 1

yes they do, but as for you, your going to the other place.

Answer 2

God says in the Bible in Revelations, (not sure of the verse), that he will create a new heaven and a new earth. I feel that, since there will be lions that will lay down by the lamb, that if those animals are there, that when he creates a new earth, that he will have our animals there as well. And don't listen to the guy that said you're going to hell, only God knows your heart. So KEEP THE FAITH and READ THE BIBLE! Good questions! My kids have asked that same question, and I just read them the scriptures, and now they feel better about their lost animals!!!

For a person supposed to be a knowall - you certainly do ask a hell of lot of questions!

For a supposed "knowall" you don't appear to be very knowledgeable about Hinduism at all.

Your idea of heaven or hell is even less than the Judeo-christian or Muslim ideas - which are in themselves very basic.

Hindus believe that all living entities have a soul. The Hindu scriptures describe that you are an eternal spiritual soul which is neither created nor destroyed. The soul occupies a material body depending on its actions/desires. The soul transmigrates through 8,400,000 species of life in it's attempt to try to enjoy separately from God.

The official position of the Catholic Church - the authority when it comes to "official" christian positions - is "no, they do not". As someone said previously, the line is "they do not have a soul, therefore they do not go to heaven."

But the question is more complicated. The issue is "do they know right from wrong? Are they capable of choosing God and objective Truth over self and wish-fulfillment?" I can't speak for all animals, but I know dogs and cats know the difference between right and wrong - they respond to me when I respond to them in a moral manner. My cats know they are not allowed on my kitchen counter. All I need to do when I catch them there is to mention their name and they go running away. So, I believe animals do go to heaven, to the extent that they have a moral sensitivity to right and wrong.

Fish and chips will be available in heaven, but it will be food for simple enjoyment, we won't need it as biological fuel. Your question, though, is interesting - if there will be a type of "fish and chips" in heaven, where will the fish come from?

Very good.

As for your career choices, challenge yourself and God in a new way: go rob a bank and give the money to the poor -- that should keep your conscience suitably occupied until your moral center is strengthened.

Answer 5

Yes animals go to Heaven when they die, just like saved people do. And I do believe that they go to the same Heaven as people, since there is only one Heaven. Heaven is worth it when the time comes! Heaven is all good and no bad. Heaven is perfect. Staying faithful and being saved is the only way to get to Heaven.

Answer 6

God created us in his image and likeness. He loves each of us greater than any artist could love his own masterpiece. What seperates us from all animals is the fact that we have been given a soul with free-will to choose. Satan temps us with evil thoughts but he can not touch our God-giving free-will, that is ours and ultimately we "choose" to sin or not. "We" have to make it to heaven first, once there... if it's his will, it's possible for God to fullfill any of our desires(including having your animals with you). Animals do not have souls, they please and displease but they can't be guilty of choosing in the way humans do.
Do not rob a bank...stay faithful! It's not worth loosing your soul to eternal Hell and torment for a few selfish years here.
You'll find that your soul (spirit) often goes against the desires and temptations of your body (flesh).
Make it to heaven first... then you may enjoy some of the animals he created for us to love while we were temporarily here on earth. "Ask God" for the desire to become a "Bible freak"...he offers you the knowledge, peace, and a transformation that no man can give.
Keep asking him until you "truly" mean it with all your heart.

Answer 7

yes, I would say they do go to heaven the same place as us, and being that god is the creator of all things he will, meet our needs in heaven too. Probably want even need food, and don't be foolish god gave you common since to do the right thing or you would not have ask the question. Why don't you pray and ask god the question and he will answer you.

Answer 8

Heaven is going to be a place of joy and happiness. Like others have said we won't need to eat. I am not sure about the animals going to heaven. But part of our joys in life are our pets and they bring joy into our lives. So I think they will be in Heaven with us.

Answer 9

I think yes but to a different part of heaven. Because if humans and animals went to disame heaven it would be like a second earth.

Answer 10

Animals do have a soul, it is humans who have invented this idea of being superior to justify their abuse on animals. Anyway, if the animals are in heaven, they won't be ther eto be eaten. Try hell, because some of them who are bad might be there and punished for their crimes by becoming steaks. Don't count on lambs and porks, though, you'll have to try more exotic cuisine

Answer 11

Animals do not have spirits as far as them going to heaven who knows, no one knows who or what goes to heaven until they get there. If you are a true believer of Christ then why would you question your faith? I think as a Christian you should stay faithful.
