'No'

Answer 1

Yes.

Even animals have spirits and are also God's creation. God said that every living thing will be restored to its perfect state.

Answer 2

No they won't be resurrected in Paradise. They didn't serve God, they don't have the mental capacity to do so, they didn't preach to others about God or anything of that sort, the Bible says that there will be a resurrection of righteous and unrighteous people, not animals :)

Answer 3

God-fearing men see in animals part of God’s generous provision for human welfare. Animals have served man as burden bearers, as sources of food and clothing, as sanitation agents, and as helpers in the vital activities of plowing and harvesting. Their variety of form and color has delighted his eye; their habits and instincts have been and still are an extensive field for inquiry into the marvels of God’s creative work. Though animals die in the same manner as man, they do not share his hope of a resurrection.—2Pe 2:12;

Animals were created with a limited life span, humans had the prospect of living on earth forever. (Genesis 3:22, 23; Psalm 37:29) Jesus Christ said that to enjoy “everlasting life,” we must exercise faith and take in knowledge of God—things that animals are incapable of doing. (John 3:36; 17:3)

God created animals for the sake of humans. Animals can help them do their work and can serve as their companions or pets. They also serve to magnify God’s love and wisdom.

The Creator gave life to both humans and animals. But for how long were they to continue to live? Scientists report that humans seem to have the potential of endless life, so that investigators are perplexed as to why man dies. The Bible gives the reason. It says that the Creator gave the first humans the opportunity of living forever. Death came only because they rebelled. (Gen. 2:17; 3:17-19; Rom. 5:12) What, though, of animals? They are not capable of conscious rebellion against God; yet they live only for a length of time and then die. Hence, it is clear that the Creator never purposed that individual animals live forever. For them death was natural.—2 Pet. 2:12.

Answer 4

1 Corinthians 15:38-44 "God gives it a body as he has chosen, and to each kind of seed its own body. For not all flesh is the same, but there is one kind for humans, another for animals, another for birds, and another for fish. There are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is one kind, and the glory of the earthly is another. ...So it is with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable; what is raised is imperishable. It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power. It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body."

So it mentions animals in the flesh as well as humans. They are different sort of bodies, but they are natural bodies. And read verse 44 again. Animals have a natural body. Therefore, according to this passage, each also has a spiritual body.

To me, it doesn t follow that they go to heaven when they die, because they do not have choice to believe in Jesus... Nor do they go to hell. There bodies die and are a part of the fallen earth groaning for redemption. (Romans 8). When the old earth passes away, and God is making all things new (Isaiah 65 and Rev. 21) and creates the new heavens and the new earth, the whole earth is perfect. No longer any curse. So along with all of creation being restored in the new earth, would be all animals being restored and given their new spiritual bodies, where they are in their perfected state like before the fall. No death, no pain, all living things being vegetarian. The lion lying down with the lamb. No survival of the fittest. All animals being in their own perfected cat, lion, zebra, T-rex, ... state, which includes being vegetarian so no animals die. Nor are any of them in fear or animosity with each other.

We will not recognize our pets however, because we will not remember anything from the past. Isaiah records that none of the former things will be remembered, and Revelation God says, "Behold, I will make all things new". We will have no sorrow because we will not remember any of our past experiences. But we can enjoy any of the animals for eternity.

Answer 5

No they won't... this maybe the worst answer a pet owner will receive but its true....
When God created the first mankind he breathed into him the breath of life and that life(soul) cannot die... Gods breath lives forever and it has been passed on to you and I, that breath was not breathed into animals therefore they won't live after death...
The only animal that would live for ever is the devil and the good news is it almost time where God will send this beastly animal into the lake of fire, and we are going to spend eternity in Heaven...

Answer 6

Will animals be resurrected?

Animals do not have a soul as humans so my personal opinion since I have never read "animal Resurrection" in the word is no.

however, we also know that Earth is a reflection of heaven so animals will be there. Jesus returns riding a white Horse.
animals are already in heaven. and it is also taught that in heaven we have our hearts desire.

since the Bible does not expressly say animals wont be resurrected one can hope so. that hope does not erode your faith and is a personal opinion.

We shall know soon, very soon!!!

Answer 7

I hope not! Yikes! Do you mean mosquitoes & the like? Did you know 7 out of very 10 living things may be a nematode? Will there be a coin toss for plant/animal in-betweens? OK, one more reason to rethink this whole heaven thing.

Answer 8

NO! All animals will return back into the earth the bible says. Animals do not have souls because if they did we would have to give them the plan of salvation also.

Answer 9

no honey they will not. animals werew made for mans(humans child) enjoyment, we are so preciuos and the lord made plants animals all that just for us. now if you have a close pet maybe it will be in heaven but child all animals will not be resurected, they do not have eternal souls like we do. if you have a special pet you want to be resurected, well, you just need to learn that animals are not the same as us people, remember we were made in the image of god, not monkeys honey child

Answer 10
