Do animals go to heaven?

Question

All of them?

Answer 1

according to Christians, ONLY animals go to heaven, and only one specific species of animal.

Answer 2

Of course they do! They have souls too! Every animal, from a bird to a deer, bear or kitten; The American Indians understood this and made sure to pray over their kill before destroying it's beauty by cutting it up and eating it. This, in turn, would make the animal's soul comforted, so it could also attend the party at the Happy Hunting Ground. Animals' souls are different from Humans, we are more complex, where they are of different composition. But if they had no soul, they would not be alive. Sorry, to make this run on so long. But come on, the squirrel you ran over in the road, he'll be back too. His soul incarnates into another squirrel. These are all God,dess' creatures- Humans tend to be a little pious, don't we? That animals don't deserve a place on the other side of the Veil? Hope to have helped. Blessed Be.

Answer 3

Scripture tells us in Genesis, that man is unique. That unlike the animals, God breathed life into man, and he became a living being. In essence He breathed into us a spirit that made us like Him. This is not something he did for animals. They are wondrous and awesome, but I don't see any indication, anywhere that they have a place with us in Heaven.

Answer 4

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 5

No, there will be animals in heaven, but not the ones that we have now. Animals don't have souls. IPeter 3:20 Noah and the ark Eight souls were saved. Noah, his three sons and all their wives. No animals souls were saved, they dont have souls. Sorry.

Answer 8

Animals are eternal, just as we are.

Humans, by the way, are animals too.

< The Jewish concept of tsa'ar ba'alei chaim, the obligation not to cause pain to animals, is one of the most beautiful elements of Jewish thought. Jewish tradition is filled with compassion for animals, and strongly opposes the infliction of suffering on another living creature. Let's take a look at what Judaism says about our proper treatment of animals.

Many stories from Jewish tradition reflect our concern for animals. In one beautiful story from Midrash:

While our teacher Moses was tending the sheep of Jethro in the wilderness a lamb ran away from him. He ran after her until she reached Hasuah. Upon reaching Hasuah she came upon a pool of water [whereupon] the lamb stopped to drink. When Moses reached her he said, "I did not know that you were running because [you were] thirsty. You must be tired." He placed her on his shoulder and began to walk. The Holy One, blessed be He, said, "You are compassionate in leading flocks belonging to mortals; I swear you will similarly shepherd my flock, Israel." (Exodus Rabbah 2:2) >

Answer 9

Animals have different kind of souls than human beings. Human being souls are made in the image of God and they live forever, they are everlasting. Animal souls are not made in the image of God, and we have no evidence that I can tell that they are everlasting
