Answer 2

Romans 8:19-22

19The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. 20For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope 21that[i] the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God.
22We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.

Isaiah 11:6 The wolf will live with the lamb,
the leopard will lie down with the goat,
the calf and the lion and the yearling [a] together;
and a little child will lead them.

Genesis 1:29-31

29 Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. 30 And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food." And it was so.

31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.

God created man to live off of the fruits and vegetables of the earth and the same for the animals. Man chose to fall not the animals as you can read in Romans 8. Because of this animals are not held accountable for they did not choose to fall but because they were upon the earth when Man chose to fall, they also fell. Everything that was upon the earth at that time, fell with the earth.

Romans 8 says that all creation cannot wait to be redeemed and so it is implied they shall be redeemed for they were created so they are creations. Man on the other hand chose to fall therefore he must repent and accept Christ as his Savior and live according to Gods will, not his own (mans will).

Answer 3

I think animals are pure of heart in a way that they are not capable of sinning. They kill only for food or protection. They probably have no concept of lying. So, I don't believe animals are capable of sin. But as the owner of 3 wonderful cats, I definetly believe they have souls.

Answer 4

animals do sins...but they havent got that much brain to find out whether they have done a sin......

look at us...we got brains and we know what sins are...but still we do sins....so i think we should be soulless to be sinless and not animals

Answer 5

Animals can't sin (except for homosexuality) but besides that they don't think like we do.
