Why can't Christians get their dogma straight?

Rev 22:15 -
For without are dogs - The wicked, the depraved, the vile: for of such characters the dogs, an unclean animal among the Jews, was regarded as a symbol, Deu_23:18. On the meaning of the expression, see the notes on Phi_3:2. The word “without” means that they would not be admitted into the heavenly city, the New Jerusalem, Rev_21:8, Rev_21:27.
And sorcerers, ... - All these characters are specified in Rev_21:8, as excluded from heaven. See the notes on that verse. The only change is, that those who “love and make a lie” are added to the list; that is, who delight in lies, or what is false.
These are not literal dogs. Why can't you guys do a little investigating before making assumptions?

Wrong there will be horses and dogs in heaven according to Rev.
Rev 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
Rev 19:12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
Rev 19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
Jesus will be ridding a horse when he come back to start the Mellinaum Rein.
In Christ in Love,

Rev. 22:15 uses the word dog, but it is referring to those that present themselves with moral impurity, which can not and will not be allowed in Heaven.
Isaiah 11:6 shows the allowance of animals in heaven, and what will happen when they get there.
Right now it seems as though it's not a Christian that has a problem with the Dogma or doctrine.

Wow are you out of context! What would you say if someone looking right into your face said hey dog get over here? I know you would not think they were confused about which species they were looking at. They would be labeling you as something negative, now wouldn't they? Now go back and read 22:15 of revelation. It says that outside are dogs who practice magic arts, and do alot of things including murder people. Do you know of any dogs that do magic and can kill people? The dogs that are being spoken of are people with very evil hearts who do evil things and it does not say that they are in heaven. It says that they are outside. I think you really need to have someone read it to you and explain what every word means. Since The Book you are quoting is in English, I also would suggest that you have someone who can read and understand the English language very well read it and explain it to you and then you won't be so confused.

The verses in revelation are referring to unclean (spiritually) persons.
The Prophet Muhammad (SAWS) also used the reference of the dog to illustrate one who is unclean, though in his teachings it was a bit more clear because physical dogs are clean animals to use for hunting and to eat that which a dog brings. However one cannot pray where a physical dog sleeps due to the unclean nature of the animal.
Wild dogs (and some domestic) are among the filthiest animals known to man, this is why an unclean person is referred to as a dog in these old allegories.

heaven is a concept created by the human mind........Dogs and mostly all animals are completly in the moment and are most of the time one with spirit which is why they are sensetive to human agression they cannot conceive an idea of heaven b/c they don't really need one...in a way they are kinda in heaven already....... heaven has become a way to control peoples minds and actions.......if UR bad U will go to hell and if UR good Heaven......if you choose to adopt this statement you are basing alot of your motivating principals in life on Dogma.....(believe it b/c we say so and we're not accepting questions on this one so don't ask)
The Problem is Dogma.....anything based on Dogma has logical holes in it from its inception

I believe there is the possibility of animals in heaven.....but not the ones we have made friends with here on earth....they would be there not for our friendship but rather to contribute to God's Glory. We don't know the wonders of Heaven. Non have told us although many souls of the damned have returned with warnings and many souls in purgatory have returned asking for prayers. We don't know what's in heaven.

Another passage being interpreted the way you want it to sound.
Read and comprehend.
Dogs are not literally the animal.
Haven't you figured out the common language today has changed?
Is that not a revelation for you?
