Do you think the gods will let me take my dog to heaven with me?

Question

I had to ask this a different way because last night they deleted this question.

Answer 1

So are you planning on loading up the rest of your stuff on a trailor & standing at the pearly gates thinking all of your possessions would crossover with you??

When we die, we lose our earth body & worldly possessions to accept a new, everlasting life, in heaven.

Besides, do you really want your dog in your casket or creamated with you?? Ew!

Answer 2

Maybe your question is better suited for the "Mythology and Folklore" section. The truth is that there is only one God, so your question cannot be answered except by myth.

If you are going to heaven, I wonder why you'd be concerned about a dog you own on this earth. I have a dog, too. I also have a shirt that I'm fond of - but I can only wonder at what role they would they have in heaven.

To answer your question, "No, I don't think so."

Answer 3

I don't know your gods, so can't really speak for them, but I would think that when the time is right, you and your dog will find each other in heaven. But just in case, how about you enjoy your time with your dog while you're both in each other's lives.

Answer 4

I think that you will get a lot of different responses to this question, because nobody really agrees on the answer. That would also explain why your question got deleted.

So the truth is, this is a question that cannot be answered by a Google search.

Answer 5

There are many gods, but only "one Almighty God"

Men and Woman 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.

Animals were created with a limited life span, humans had the prospect of living on earth forever. ( 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 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) 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.

Answer 6

All dogs go to heaven. Every living creature will resurrect as a result of the merits and mercy of Jesus Christ.

Answer 7

If you believe in more than one god, then it's nonsensical to believe in Heaven. Heaven is a Christian concept where there is only one god, not several. So...no, the gods will not let you take your dog to Heaven because multiple gods = no Heaven.

Answer 8

yes, of course. a dog has a soul as we do. they mourn lost owners, remember friends after over a year apart and can be intensely loyal. If the dog you have with you when you pass away still has some time to live, he will join you later.

Answer 9

Yes your loved pet will be with you. It was pre destined for you to be with that pet. Pets pick people just as we pick them. It is a design no one can explain. Pets are not possessions they are loving souls that more than likely will want to be with you in the after life.

Answer 10

If you'd like to increase your dog's chances of going to Heaven, some churches perform a "Blessing of the Animals" and you are welcome to take your pets and have them blessed.
