If animals are not destined to go to heaven than why do they suffer pain when attacked? God is CRUEL!?

Answer 1

You answered your own question.

Answer 2

As so many have said, who says they don't go to heaven?
But then, I don't believe in heaven.
I think the bigger question is that most people don't realize that animals DO have souls. We are all animals, those not within the human species are no less important.
If, as the Bible says, God created the Earth, He (assuming God is male) made the animals first, than man.
We are all part of Mother Earth and the Universal Divinity.
My animal companions have moved on to another plane of existence. I may well see them again during some other incarnation.
I hope that makes you feel better.

Reporter: “How do you know that the animal has a soul?”

Srila Prabhupada: “You can know, also. Here is the scientific proof. The animal is eating, you are eating; the animal is sleeping, you are sleeping; the animal is defending, you are defending; the animal is having sex, you are having sex; the animals have children, you have children; you have a living place, they have a living place. If the animal’s body is cut, there is blood; if your body is cut, there is blood. So all these similarities are there. Now why do you deny this one similarity, the presence of the soul? That is not logical. You have studied logic? In logic there is something called analogy. Analogy means drawing a conclusion by finding many points of similarity. If there are so many points of similarity between human beings and animals, why deny one similarity? That is not logic. That is not science.”

Answer 4

God is not cruel. The pain that animals suffer is a direct result of Adam's sin. It's not God's fault. God created the world perfect, and Man wrecked it when he decided to disobey God.
Also, the book of Isaiah tells us that there WILL be animals in the New Earth, but that will not occur until after Christ returns, and after He has re-created the Earth.

Answer 5

Holly ****. You are soooooooo stupid. Animals are the only thing on this earth that has a one way ticket into heaven, only because they can't sin, now if they were children of God, and not pets of God, then they would have a harder time to get to heaven and they would be in our churchs, but they are not.
Not only that, but I'm sure Jesus died for our sins, and not the sins of food.
P.S that's why Darwin is stupid

Answer 6

Please show me in the Bible where it says animals don't go to heaven! I looked and looked and cant find it. And God is not cruel, MAN is cruel and the main cause of the worlds problems.

Answer 7

So any creature who suffers pain should enter Heaven?

I'm sure Jeffrey Dahmer, Hitler and the guy who just shot 22 people in New Jersey are glad to hear that.

Answer 8

thanks for your opinion but your not God so you have no right to judge him or his actions. just as I cannot judge you so get off your little high horse and try to make the world a better place. when was the last time you donated money or time to the SPCA or even to a hospital my guess is none. so when you teach by example, step up to the plate and speak your piece in the mean time stop doing that thing you so love to tell us Christians not to do STOP JUDGING.

Answer 9

Who says they aren't destined to go to heaven,
the only soul on earth wiothout original sin.

Answer 10

Who said that. They just don't know right from wrong. Jacob saw horses in heaven and I'm quite sure my dead pets are there.

Answer 11

God is not cruel, ask yourself what caused the attack?
