Do animals have souls and go to heaven?

Question

Even though you can't really teach them about God, are they considered innocent and go to heaven? My other question is: Is there a chance heaven is on a different planet?

Answer 1

I believe that everyone and everything we love will go to heaven.
Think of it this way:
A pet is usually loved and cared for by the owner, so their soul kind of shares a bond with the animal. What would that be if it wasn't a soul?
Yes animals that we love and know I am POSITIVE we will someday see again.
And yes maybe heaven is on a another planet, who really knows?

Answer 2

Is there a chance heaven is on a different planet? NO! If you are referring to were God lives, no one knows, it's just out there, somewhere. His throne is in the heavens, that is, in the spirit realm over which he also rules. From his supreme or ultimate position, Jehovah, in effect, ‘looks down’ upon the physical heavens and earth and from this lofty position also speaks, answers petitions, and renders judgment.


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 3

I hope there will be animals in heaven. My preacher says he doesn't know for sure - the bible doesn't exactly say. Heaven could be on another planet. What the bleep do we know?

Answer 4

I hope animals can go to heaven because I love my pets!

Answer 5

I can't imagine a creature as loyal and loving as my dog not going to heaven. I don't think knowing about God is as important as how you treat others.

Answer 6

yeah they do. Animals like dogs seem to have souls because of how playful they are. I think that all animals go to heaven because when they kill, it's usually for survival.

Answer 7

Of course, animals have souls, and go to heaven. And when we go to heaven, we get all of our dear pets back AND they all get along.

Answer 8

No, the only way to HEAVEN is the acceptance of JESUS CHRIST as your saviour and that JESUS cleansed of us our sins so that we can be forgiven, Cats and Dogs do not have a soul to do this.

Answer 9

animals dont go to heaven

Answer 10

I believe they do just as humans. As humans we want to see those we love in the afterlife, that includes our pets
