according to Jack Van Impe, the bible says to go into all the world and preach the gospel. which is true, but he says it means that we should witness to our pets, so they have salvation, also.
seriously, do you believe this and do you think they would even understand? what is your take on the whole theory?

I can barely get my pets to go outside when nature calls.

Jack Van Impe is nuts. Come the 7 year tribulation, when he realizes that there is no pre-trib rapture and ALL of the christians were left behind, he will start eating those pets instead of worrying about their salvation.

Jack Van Impe may say to witness but what does the Bible say about it???
I don't think your dog is going to pay much attention to what you have to say unless you say it with a dog biscuit in your hand.

No, I dont' agree with that. God told us to treat animals good, but don't compare them or treat them as human. Some are to be used as food source, but not like humans, like leaving them millions of dollars, when there are so many poor people in the world that needs the help. I could go on and on.

remember St. Frances of asisi, he is the patron saint of animals he recited the gospel to them, he chased a menecing wolf out of town even the birds in the air would come and listen to him. look up st. frances online and you will find your answer. but he was not the only saint that spoke to and commanded animals. there were others. check out the lives of the saints or go to catholic answers . org and you can find more info about saint and animals in the bible. but I don't

To my understanding, pets and other creatures are not under original sin, since they did not, nor have the capacity to, disobey God. Being a saved keeper of pets keeps them from harm,and, of course, allows you to be with them in Heaven. Yes, all pets go to Heaven.

I think my cat is saved already because she's white, fluffy, and doesn't cause anyone problems. But all snakes should be witnessed to because most are going to hell for that whole apple and Eve thing.

Our PETS can be "saved" now? Suffer the little animals to come ...? Yeesh. That's certainly out on the warped end of the fringe.

Did he really say that? It's bad enough that he's a fan of the pope.
