(Please add my correct answer to those you get).The Creator said: "For the beasts of the field and the birds and fowls of the air and for many animals that are companions to man, made I a place in heaven, where their spirits should survive for a season. And this animal heaven I graded, one, in the order of my heavens. For I saw that man on the earth had delight in them; and I provided unto him for his es'yan period, that he might rejoice in remembrance of finding his loves. And I made the animal heaven to rest on the face of the lands of the earth even the same as the place of the es'yan in grade one. Remember, O man, thy Creator gave to every animal a season on the earth; but He limited them to a time to become extinct. Even so, and of like duration made I a heavenly period for the spirits of animals companionable to man. Ch 12, verse 8-12, P. 785-786, The Bk of Judgment

Adam was friends with the animals before he was excelled from the Garden, it would be interesting if we returned to that.

Your quote is taken from the book of Oahspe. Oahspe was written in the ninetenth century by a dentist called John Ballou Newbrough. It is allegedly written by automatic writing where the author is disconnected from conscious thought and an external entity controls what goes on the page. Oahspe is a Sprititualist text and is not related to main stream Christianity. Christians would regard Ohaspe as heresy or the word of Satan and would treat it with the same contempt as the New Age movement.
The book of Ohaspe is belived to be true by the followers of a small cult known as The Faithists of Kosmon,
There is no evidence in the Christian Bible that animals have souls and therefore cannot go to heavean. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I believe this is the same for the 2 other main Abrahamic religions (Judaism and Islam).

Hello =)
From a Buddhist perspective.....
All animals are reborn again as something or other. Their consciousness remaining intact, the same as most humans (at least those who do not attain enlightenment).
Many Buddhists have remarked that their dogs and cats are "interested" in spiritual development in one way or another. A friend of mine from the UK has a dog who tries to "chant" mantras along with her. This is an obvious indication that animals are capable of working towards enlightenment, the same as humans.
Please also know that under the tutelage of St. James (The brother of Christ), most early Christians accepted the Doctrine of reincarnation, for those who did not fully accept Christ into their hearts. Those who did, attained a place in heaven. The rest got "recycled" by reincarnation. The church of St. Peter (Roman Catholic) destroyed this belief, by murdering this sect of early Christians.
So, ultimately, since beginingless time, each of us have BEEN various animals, and only because of our worthy thoughts, and deeds, have we attained this human birth, with its advantages towards spiritual growth at this time. If we make good use of it, regardless of our religious affiliation, we won't return to the state of animality. If we do not, however, we may well find ourselves as someone's pet the next time around.
This is why I refuse to "own" pets any longer.
Namaste,
--Tom

Well humans can't get to heaven just by living good and doing good things. Humans have to believe in God and Jesus Christ. So unless animals have the same way of thinking as humans, then I think it would be impossible.

I dont give a sh!t what the Buybull says, as an Elder angel ill tell you outright that animals have souls and they pass on to the spirit realm, unless of course they did something bad when they were a human like kill someone.

OK, so I believe in the Bible, and the Book of Judgement is not in the Bible . . . . pets do not survive death, or go to heaven or hell because they don't have spirits. They can't make a decision to follow Christ and have Christ save them from their sins . . . no heaven for Fluffy, sorry.

If this isn't a troll, you human beings are one hundred% moronic retards. i imagine you and all of us else from PETA favor to be examined. you're actual worried that you'll damage brocoli? Lol? Nature is, survival of the fitist. human beings, in nature are meant to be above the beast of the earth. Domesticated animals "mutually with you owned" are one hundred% un waiting to take care of themselves contained in the wild. they're going to die, if no longer already useless. All of their "survival" instincts were replaced by technique of kin nature. You despatched them to their deaths. As on your vegan lifestyles style... devour what you opt for, yet do not punish the animals you chosen to guard because you opt for to tug a retard. Do animals a want, and not in any respect get yet another puppy. The irony that you're a vegan, and despatched YOUR pets to their deaths is merely pathetic.

NOT in MY (Christian/Hebrew) Bible. The only way a pet will survive after it dies is if I take it to a taxidermist. A Blessed Christmas to you.
