Do animals go to Heaven or Hell?

Question

I was just watching Moral Orel a while ago on Adult Swim cause I was bored LOL.
Then his mom said that animals don't have a soul, they don't go to Heaven or Hell. Is this true?

Answer 1

Animals aren't accountable for their actions, thus they all go to heaven.

Answer 2

I believe so because wat differentiates a human from an animal is that humans has soul and animals does not. Humans have emotions (though animals also have) but they do not have a mind (to make choices, think). That is why without a mind, we are animal. Since we do have we a referred as 'rational animals'.

I don't think animals would go to heaven or hell. Heaven and hell is where we go to depending on how good or bad we are in life. In the case of animals, they don't need to because they do not have a 'mind' or choices. Whatever that they do (kill,hunt, etc.) is based instinct and nature has made them in such a way. The can't think whether or not they should kill their prey since it is for their survival. Unlike human we got a choice (eg. to eat or not to, to steal or not to). They live and decay like other living things. I hope this answers your question.

Answer 3

Its speculation, but my guess is that if their is indeed a god, then animals with the capacity to express feeling have a soul. By expression of feeling i mean essentially mammals. As to whether they go to heaven or hell, personally i think thats a ridiculous notion. Heaven and hell are a religious interpretation of eartly reason. Since animals cannot express reason, applying this analogy to them is dumb.

Answer 4

Unknown. Some people belive that and some people belive other things, but unless you are an animal and you die and them miseriously come back to life you never know. But we don't even really know even if there is a heaven or hell, u don't really know unless u die and i am going to try and avoid that for a while. Also some ppl belive in reincarnation. oh well, i guess we will never know.

Answer 5

I always asked people that when I was little because I adore animals...they would most likely go to heaven because God only gave humans a free will to accept Jesus not the animals.

Answer 6

I have yet to read in the Word of God anything about whether animals go to Heaven or hell. May God Bless U.

Answer 7

animals live as they were created so they will go to heaven if you will! -there is one animal how ever that will not do so well and that will be the human animal!

no other animal goes out of its way to vindictively try to hurt others and get pleasure out of their demise! not only does the human animal go out of its way to do awful things it plans it as well!

the other animals just go about their stuff , and when a tragedy strikes then be assured that humans had their hands in it someway or another!

so I don't know about heaven but I hope all the animals do!

Answer 8

I have heard the same thing but God does mention that the lions will lay down with the lambs. As an animal lover I prefer to think animals will go to heaven.And I'm sure they won't go to hell.

Answer 9

I guess so. Because unlike us animals don't have 'free will'. So they don't get rewarded for staying clear of the 'path of the devil'.
But once you're in heaven, you could ask God to fill it with all the animals that ever existed if you want to.

Answer 10

Animals, like humans are living souls, the only difference is that an animal doesn't have the intelligence to make moral decisions, so, how could God punish or reward them? When their dead, their dead.

Answer 11

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.
