they dont allow animals in heaven?say it ANT so.?

Answer 1

Who says animals aren't allowed in "heaven?" Not true. Even if we don't know exactly what the afterlife for animals is--I believe there is one. Please allow me to explain why I sincerely believe this. . . Several years ago our dog, Star (who was kept in an outside fenced in kennel) was taken. I know he didn't get out on his own. The gate was closed, and he was never able to jump the fence. I always wondered what happened to him. . . I suspected he was dead, but didn't have any way to confirm this, which made it worse--the not knowing. One night I had a dream in which our missing dog was at the top of a large stairway of light. He was completed enveloped in light. At the bottom of the stairs was my father's dog, Lucky. (Lucky and Star had spent time together when we visited. . . and they played and got along wonderfully). In the dream Star was very happy, and called to Lucky to climb the stairs and join him at the top. . . in the Light. The next morning my father called to tell me that Lucky had died. I immediately knew that it was Star (who I now know had died) was on the "other side" to greet Lucky. Whether you want to call that place "heaven" is irrelevant. I know in my heart their is a place for animals in the afterlife.

There is no cut and dry biblical answer to this question. There is a well entrenched tradition within Christendom that when Genesis says that Man was made "in the image of God" it meant that he had an eternal soul. Thus, it is widely believed that animals lack souls and simply cease to exist when they die.

There are some problems with this view. For one thing, the bible doesn't actually say that what Genesis meant is what tradition says it meant. In fact, the Hebrew word for animal pretty much means "something with a soul." This is echoed by our english word, animal. "Animal" is derived from the Latin "Animus," which means soul.

There are also theological problems with the belief that animals don't go to heaven. For one thing, doesn't it seem so cruel that so many millions of animals suffer and die cruel deaths and not go on to anything better in the afterlifem when God could allow it to be so? Then there's the fact that animals obey God 100% of the time through-out the Bible with the sole possible exception being the Snake in Eden (assuming it was a literal snake). Think of Balaam's donkey, the birds devouring the righteous in Revelation, the whale that swallowed Jonah, the animals that didn't eat the Forbidden Fruit like humans did, etc. The Bible says that in Heaven "all things" are created new. Isaiah said that in the future the lion would lie down with the lamb (heaven?). The bible also talks about spiritual horsemen, and Jesus riding on a white horse, but if animals lacked souls how would that be possible?

A book or two could probably be written on the subject, but I think it is very likely that animals go to heaven when they die.

Ants are categorized interior the phylum Arthropoda. Arthropods as seen animals, as adversarial to plant life. we don't understand for effective in the event that they sense soreness or no longer, however the way the act propose they do. An injured ant will writhe approximately as though in soreness. Nerve cells developed to let us know of our surrounding. the sensation of soreness developed to maintain us from risky circumstances. as an occasion, fire will kill us, and it could additionally create the sensation of soreness. soreness indicators us of possibility, with the intention to run faraway from the possibility. If we don't sense soreness from fire, we can't withdraw our palms whether it relatively is being burned with the help of a fire, and we finally end up without hand. the same concept applies to ants. in the event that they do no longer sense the soreness from a lighted experience, then they gained't run away and that they are going to be burned alive. for this reason i won't fathom how organic decision would have led to animals with nerve cells yet no sensation of soreness.

Cannot say "it ANT so"

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. 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.

It can be very sad, even tragic, to see a beloved pet die. But even in such a case, there is room for some balance. As noted earlier, animals were not created in God’s image, nor were they meant to live forever, as were humans. Regarding the way God made humans, the Bible says: “He has even put eternity into their minds.” Yet, nothing like this is said of animals. Ecclesiastes 3:11,
