Do animals go to heaven?

Question

I believe in people going to heaven,but do animals go to heaven also?

Answer 1

According to the Bible, animals do not go to heaven. Only humans go to heaven. According to the Bible we will not remember our current life, our family and friends in heaven. We will not have free will in heaven. Our only purpose in heaven is to praise God. People who claim that we will meet old friends again in heaven for example, do not know the Bible. They only state so because of wishful thinking. The Bible however is very clear on this.

Answer 2

People are animals. So yes, other animals do go to heaven.

Answer 3

the Bible says there will be animals in heaven. do you suppose the Lord will create all new animals for heaven? i don't see why He would. i believe that we will see our beloved pets again in heaven. and if not, that's okay too. it's God's call and whatever He chooses will be perfect.

Answer 4

No heaven is proved to be for the angels and paradise is for the humans and no animals don't go to heaven purely because there put on earth as a test for us so every good we did will be out and we will be rewarded and all the evil we did to them will also be mentioned and no they don't be in pain they will just turn back to dust :) as they were not put on earth to be judged I hope that makes sense happy to answer further questions

Answer 5

Yes , Yes , Because , it is not the mere souls that go to heaven according to Christianity and Islam.On the judgment Day , the graves are dug up and all the deads , whether christians or Muslims or none of these , ar all raised up and their bones and flesh are supplied ( Tons and Tons of flesh would be imported on that one day itself from where, God only knows !) and the people would be taken up for judgment and sent to heaven and Hell ,as the case may be. .Since people admitted to Heaven are given cool drinks and food ( see Koran) , they must also be given meat , fish et in Heaven.since people in lesh would need foods .So all anials that humans eat , say , cows ,sheep , goats , chicken all other fowls , eggs crocodiles , sharks etc etc would be sent to heaven without their acknoeledging God . Man alsone need to acknowledge God for a visa to enter Heaven. For and entry into Hell no Visa is needed .All sorts of civic amenities should also be available with specific departments to take care of them ,should also be availble there !

Answer 6

For people who believe animals don't go to heaven and people do.... are ignorant. Why, because one is more intelligent over the other?

Answer 7

Humans are animals. Do they go to heaven?

Answer 8

No, animals go to the ground as part of the natural ecology of the earth.



"the spirit of the sons of mankind... is ascending upward; and the spirit of the beast...is descending downward to the earth" Ecclesiastes 3:20



Man is made in the image of God, not animals. Both were made out of the ground but only man is made in the image of God. Animals do not have the capacity for spirituality. Genesis 1:26, 27; 2:19; "animalistic...not having spirituality" Jude 19



EDIT: Proving yourself righteous and God's choice is what determines if a person goes to heaven. Animals cannot prove themselves righteous and do not have the capacity for morals in the first place. Therefore animals do no go to heaven. Listen to the Bible rather than the fanciful presumptuous ideas of humans. It is not being a soul that counts, it is the fact that one is faithful and righteous in the eyes of God. :)



Animals are fleshly creatures that have no spirituality, if man lives in harmony with his flesh, like animals naturally do, he cannot please God. Therefore, animals, which cannot please God, do not go to heaven.



"for the minding of the flesh means death, but the minding of the spirit means life and peace; because the minding of the flesh mean enmity with God, for it is not under subjection to the law of God, nor in fact, can it be. " Romans 8:6, 7



"those who are in harmony with the flesh cannot please God." Romans 8:8



"if you live in accord with the flesh you are sure to die" Romans 8:13

Answer 9

No, animals do not go to heaven.Our Creator must be pleased when we take delight in his animal creations and show them loving consideration. Would you agree, then, that it wouldn't be appropriate to subject animals to cruel treatment? Yet, as a source of entertainment, humans commonly allow animals, such as bulls, dogs, and chickens, to be cruelly abused and killed in fights. Unfortunately, the way people treat animals has not always been with the compassion that God intended.



On the other hand, some people's concern for pets takes precedence over even more important considerations. In fact, when affection for animals is not controlled by reasonableness, the life of pets can seem even more important than that of humans. As an example, during a fire in one animal hospital, when pet owners gathered outside, some reportedly "tried to break through the cordon, crying that they wanted to die with their darlings."



Of course, 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, Byington.



Thus, the Bible does not say that it is wrong to kill animals—indeed, they are now a common source of food for millions. But what about putting a pet to death—for example, one that is sick and suffering? What a difficult, painful decision that can be! Yet, a pet lover may conclude that doing so in a quick and painless manner is better than providing his loyal animal companion with expensive treatment that merely prolongs its suffering—and may even put a strain on a family's finances.



God dearly loves his human creation; should we not, in turn, show consideration and affection for the animals that he has entrusted to our care and oversight? Those who possess such love have often been drawn to the wonderful prospects of enjoying animals as our Creator originally intended. The concluding article in this series will develop this aspect of the subject of pets.

Answer 10

Yes of course they do! just like we all do any living thing goes to heaven when they die :) so we all can be with God if we are good people.

Answer 11

A heaven without them is a glorified hell

Answer 13

that would depend on which christian you ask on which day, and what the topic has to be, and which verse they wish to use.



From the answers already posted (and probably more to come), you can see that no matter how many thumbs down I get, I am correct.

Answer 14

Yes they do go to heaven, they have a soul just like you do.

Answer 15

YES!!! Where you been??? It is in the Bible stories!



The religious Jews are not allowed to eat pork and a long list of “unclean” animals.



Saint Peter refused to socialize with non-Jews because of his Jewish eating habits.



Gal 2:14

When I* (*Saint Paul) saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel*

(*that he was putting together…)



I said unto Peter before them all… why do you force the gentiles to live as do the Jews?*

(*Saint Paul was scrapping the traditional Jewish religion to make room for Christianity)



==

The old Jewish religion still had many desirable law and order features, i.e. 10% TITHING.



Saint Peter, the 1st Pope, got the message and, at the first chance, he assisted God the Holy Ghost killing moron Christians to firmly establish the 10% TITHING ritual in Christianity (Act5:1-11).



Saint Paul makes full use of his Roman citizenship not to appeal to JESUS GOD, but to CAESAR GOD for undisclosed consultations (Acts 28:19).



Hey, at least Caesar God can be reasoned with like with a human being!



God finally approves eating PORK meat in a dream to Saint Peter… he saw Heaven open and a big sheet



Act 10:9-16

…wherein were ALL MANNER of 4 footed beasts of the earth, and WILD BEASTS…*

(*all sorts of cats, dogs, lobsters, elephants, horses, pigs, etc)



And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; KILL, AND EAT. But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.



The voice spoke to him a second time, “Do not call anything IMPURE that God has made clean.”*

(*God is conceding that all animals are now OK to eat!)



This happened three times*

(*in a dream, one for each member of the Holy Trinity)



and immediately the sheet was taken back to Heaven.*

(*with the full zoo of PORKY creatures)



==

HEAVEN is full of PIGS, and all sorts of TALKING animals (Rev5:13-14); a real Paradise for ham and bacon eating Christians. No religious Jew would ever want to go there!



The first one to hear the news about Saint Peter’s dream was a peer dreamer, THE ROMAN CENTURION CORNELIUS who betrayed his own Caesar God and country ISO spiritual counsel from a Jewish slave.



He made the fierce Roman soldiers of the ITALIAN REGIMENT so proud of him (Act10:1) Spiritually speaking, of course!



Act 10:28

He* (*Saint Peter) said to them:*

(*Cornelius’ family and Roman VIPs)



"You are well aware that it is an abomination for a Jew to associate with a Gentile or visit him. But God has shown me that I should not call any man impure or unclean*

(*yeah… but the dream was about eating ANIMAL flesh, not people! This is how Roman Christianity got started)



==

Saint Paul sternly warns wise Christians not to mess with conservative Jews (1Cor8:9-10)



Several new Christian rituals had to replace the old Jewish traditions.



OT

Lev 17:14

The life of ALL FLESH*

(*including Jesus’ flesh)



is the blood of it: therefore I* (*God) say, YE SHALL EAT THE BLOOD OF NO MANNER OF FLESH*

(*no matter how divine it claims to be)



NT

Joh 6:53

Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you*

(*SURELY, NO BULL CRAPPING)



Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of Man*

(*only BIGOT CHRISTIANS can claim that Jesus didn’t CHANGE any Jewish law)



and drink his BLOOD, ye have no life in you*

(*Jesus is addressing a vampire oriented population of future Christians)



1 Pet 1:19-20

…with the precious BLOOD of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without SPOT*

(*NOT TRUE! He was beaten to a pulp full of Roman soldiers’ SPIT!)



who verily*

(*no more BULL CRAP!)



was FOREORDAINED before the foundation of the world…*

(*God created this humongous universe as an accessory to nail Jesus Christ to a Holy Roman Cross, in full submission to Caesar God)
