"FOOD FOR THOUGHT" if animals have souls and go to heaven. do you reckon fleas, lice,ants,termites and bedbugs go too, if so, then the termites may have eaten my mansion and the bedbugs have moved in.
There's a big difference between insects and spiders with heads, abdomen, and or thorax, and the complex makeup of canines with livers, stomachs, hearts, tendons, blood cells, joints, complex brains, etc...
Study an ant or spider and tell me what actions or behavior make any given ant or spider different from the rest. Now do the same for a dog; while certain characteristics are common among breeds, you will not find a dog that behaves in the exact same manor. Each and every dog is unique and has different character traits, behavior, and emotions. Please let me know when you see a flea cry, beg, or plea for attention; when you do that would be a fair comparison.
I believe this yes Dogs have souls and I think like a new born baby its sin free dogs dont know how to sin and GOD made all things so I believe animals go to heaven as well.
looks like I've started something, good, maybe some one will open GOD'S WORD, THE BIBLE,kjv and see what it says about some things,before we give our own opinion. You have a point from man’s opinion, GOD knows the unborn, YES even the unborn have souls and babies, and little children. GOD takes care of them,Mat 19:14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
SIN is not imputed (charged) to them until they reach the age of accountable, or realizing that they are LOST and need to be saved. You’ll find the TRUE answers in GODS WORD, the BIBLE kjv.
how can a dog or animal except JESUS as their SAVIOUR. Joh 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
KJV 1611
If we use the same gauge for humans as well; infants and toddlers can't accept Jesus as their savior because they can't communicate or comprehend what that means; yet they undoubtedly have souls.
Actually the only way to heaven is to believe that God loved all of us enough to let his only son die for us to cover our sins. No good works or anything else gets you there. You open the door and he jumps right in! It's that easy! Of course spreading Gods' word and doing good for others is a great thing to do. This messed up world needs a lot of that! And I still say animals will be there. Matthew 6:26 states how God cares enough for the birds to see that they have food. There are more but that's the only one I can remember off the top of my tired but happy head right now. I think God cares about every living thing in the amazing world we live in. I also think animals will be in heaven just like they were in the ark. I just hope Sammy (my cat) isn't mad at me for accidentally running over him....
Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
sorry, dog lovers. if dogs go to heaven, then all animals do. only man was made a living soul.
How can anyone argue that dogs don't have souls. Of course, I've always been taught that in order to go to Heaven, you must spread God's word and do his work. Not sure i ever heard a dog give a sermon. :)
I believe without a doubt that dogs have souls. They are so close to human. If you have ever met my sweet babies then you know they have to have souls. God wouldn't make something so precious to not have a soul. I believe our little Rachael is entertaining everyone in Heaven right now as we speak.
I absolutely believe dogs have souls. The bible speaks of Gods concern for the birds and also of how Noah was commanded to put two of each animal on the ark. I've always thought that animals bodies are so similar to ours in the way they function because they are important in the world He created. I also think he created dogs for the special task of being loyal and faithful companions for us. I have always found dogs to be the most faithful friend you could have.
