Do you believe animals have souls?

Question

Are there animals in Heven? In Hell?

Answer 1

I would like to think they do. I mean, if I have a soul then why can't sparky? The way that I look at it is that they are capable of human-like emotions. They love, fear, and feel pain. It's not their fault that they lack brains large enough to think, let alone pray, a thing that most people believe you must do to get into heaven. Want proof, take your dog, or cat, or whatever pet you have, pet them and look into their eyes. That little sparkle of joy that you are showing them love, that's a soul.
And tell anyone who tells you that if they are so sure animals go to hell, or do not have souls, have a special place in any hell their might be.

Answer 2

Animals do indeed have souls. Actually, like humans, we the souls have bodies, be it animal of human. Its a mis -conception that we have souls, we are the souls. We are all inter related as a result of the soul because that is the part of divinity we are all sparked from. Sorry, didn't mean to lose you there. But you get the idea.

Answer 3

I believe animals have souls. i knew a fox that went to hell. most animals go to the netherplain or heaven though. Humans because they choose Religion over Spirituality get put on trial.

Answer 4

No they don't. God breathed into man the breath of life; and man became a living soul. He took the time to form man. He just spoke and the animals came forth. See the difference. We are made in the image of man. the animals are not.

Answer 5

for me a soul= the warmth you experience once you experience love. the factor that makes you look up the sky for help. specific, they do a canines feels love for its proprietor. a animal feels discomfort and warmed. some thing with out soul could be some thing with out call some thing with out face. a tree has a soul maybe in comparison to ours yet you could experience it in case you take a seat and indexed to a tree. the wind is quite like the soul of the tree. dont think of of a soul as a non secular factor. think of of it because of fact the factor that wakes up once you were in a automobile accident and you later relize that your alive and existence is crammed with small stuff that no person never seen till now. animals have the main organic soul because of fact there those that take in word the smallest issues around us like the soundness that its want it for our environment to maintain on going.

Answer 6

nothing has a "soul". if u read in Genesis about God creating man it says "and man became a living soul". like i said nothing has a soul because every living creature is a soul but we do have a spirit which is the breath of life and that is the only thing that goes back to God.

Answer 7

Sure. I believe that humans are made in His image and that animals have souls even though they are in a different section from us. I also think many of us are put here as protectors of these creatures as well as other of God's creations.

Answer 8

Souls as a separate entity from the body do not exist. The illusion of the soul is just our incapacity to imagine a lack of consciousness.

Answer 9

when the bible talks about heaven, it only seems to give us bits and pices at a time. for instance, it talks about a rainbow in heaven, which suggests some kind of atmosphere and moisture. it talks about gold and gems in heaven, whihch suggest some earth-like elements. it alkso talks about chariouts and horses in heaven which suggest that, yes, there are animals in heaven.
I imagine there would be animals in hell, those that were sacrificed to atone for sins, before Jesus came. Just as Jesus had to go to hell to atone for our sins, I guess is that animals would also go. Only, since animals aren't the son of God, they could not be ressurected.

Answer 10

first of all I do not believe in heaven or hell. I do however believe that all living things have a "soul" as you call it, more like an energy force that makes them who they are.
