LEX: In spite, of animals having "souls", as humans do, as proclaimed in the Bible, they [animals], do not "go to heaven" . In all truth, neither, humans nor animals "go to heaven" upon death. There is no such things as an "immortal soul" since souls can die ( see the Book of Ezekiel, Chapter 18. verse 20). Only Jesus is immortal - not us humans when we die ( Book of Timothy, Chapter 6, 16th verse). The "immortal soul" concept of a spirit moving into an after life was propagated by the Egyptians (re: world of the dead) and later, adopted by the Greeks. Both, cultures used this concept, to control the people with - "fear" religion. This is not a true dogma of the Holy Bible.

God doesn't need animals in heaven, he is waiting for the return of the souls in humans he created. But in heaven there are other creatures with four faces and many eyes mentioned but not the kind of animals you and I think.

Animals don't sin. Pets sometimes attack people, but that's usually because they were mistreated, so that goes back to our sin, not theirs. Wild animals do what natural instinct tells them to do, its not sinning. Yes, they do go to heaven, they're pure.
The "creatures with four faces and many eyes" are cherubim, one of the many species of angels, they're not animals. Anyone who's ever looked into the eyes of an animal and seen the love, knows they have souls. A creature that can't feel love, has no soul, and I've seen more love in animals than most humans I know.

There are no bad animals - just bad owners. They all go to heaven. When I see animals being mistreated, I console myself with the fact that they are at peace - out of harms way.

There is no biblical evidence or cite that any animal goes to heaven.. apparently they are soul-less... (lucky them)

The word 'good'is a human term, therefore does not apply.
