Do you believe animals go to heaven?

Question

PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS BEFORE Answering
God is a fair and just god if he allows sinful humans into heaven he must allow sinless animals like cats ( WHO ARE NOT SATINS CREATURES) and dogs into heaven its only fair. And don’t tell me that animals are here for food because that is a lie humans can live off of fruit and veggies. JESUS LOVES ANIMALS he refused to eat an animal the only meat he ate was fish (which is not an animal) this one is the most important one to prove that animals go to heaven. What about children that have had NDE’s ( Near Death Experience ) all of their stories are similar they all had to go through a tunnel then through an ANIMAL heaven where they were greeted by their pets ( mostly cats and dogs that they once had) before they could enter the human heaven. They found out that by looking back at the medical records the children that had NDEs their heart stopped. Children don’t read about NDE’s they aren’t concerned about stuff like that and all of their stories are similar.

Answer 1

I believe they do.God gives us complete happiness so if we need our pets im sure they will be there.And God said the stuff in heaven will be our gearts deseir or somthing like that.



Read the book "There is Eteranl life for animals"

I think thats the title.



NDE ARE NOT FAKE!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

First of all, I appreciate where you are going with this.



Second, and more importantly, fish *are* animals. (Believe me, I'm a vet student!)



Third, I don't believe in heaven and hell (i am Buddhist and philisophically the ideas behind heaven and hell are riddled with problems, and just end up making no sense to me), but I certainly believe that animals have souls just as human animals do. I believe that animals are blameless, loyal, and innocent in a way that most humans never could be. I believe they are reincarnated like the rest of us.



If I did believe in heaven, I believe all animals (fish included =) would go there certainly. I also believe that heaven would be all-inclusive. I would never want to go to a human heaven if my animals were in a different one!



Cheers to you for loving at very least the dogs and cats of the world, though.

Answer 3

what's your question? it particularly is a certainty that Heaven is not extra actual than our jap Yomi, the Vikings' Valhalla or the Greeks' Olympus ... as a result no style of existence can bypass there. I easily have heard that there are contradictions interior the Bible approximately whether different animals besides people bypass to Heaven. Genesis shows that different animals don't have souls, yet Isaiah contradicts that concept.

Answer 4

I don't think you should worry about it. Animals aren't possesors of a soul so its not like they will be in hell either. We have more important life forms to think about like starving people in Africa with AIDS and unborn children being slaughtered and homeless people freezing to death and innocent victims of suicide bombing. God will make you a new cat in heaven. Maybe your old one will be there but this really isn't that important.



Fish are not animal? Huh? Maybe you mean mammals because even bugs are part of the animal kingdom so if you think all animals go to heaven then we have to deal with damn mosquitoes for the rest of eternity. Oh well. Don't sweat this too much just love God's creation while you got it here and then enjoy the new Heaven and Earth when you are given those.

Answer 5

Yes there are animals in Heaven. The Bible says that Jesus will be returning on a white horse.



The Second Coming is spoken of in greatest detail in Revelation 19:11-16: “And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war.

Answer 6

There is no evidence for a heaven or hell for humans or any other animal.



The NDEs you cited are selected by people who are trying to create the illusion that all childhood experiences are the same. Usually the culture of the child is the main factor in what they experience. Their experiences are no proof of a heaven any more than a nice dream is.

Answer 7

No one knows - this is not a question that can be answered. No one has ever died and then come back and said what happened (well not to the point where it was taken as scientific evidence) so no one knows whether ANYONE goes to heaven let alone animals.



As for fish not being animals, what are they then??

Answer 8

This is my opinion and only my opinion. I have seen the goodness animals have done. I have seen the healing effects they have on humans. They save lives, they heal emotional wounds, they bring happiness, and so on. I believe God uses animals to help humans. I know a woman who has a dog that alerts her when she is going to have spells and seizures. I know God sent her that dog to keep her safe and warn her. Do I think animals will be in heaven? I'd like to think so. But remember, we will be so happy to be sharing in the beatific vision that if animals are there with us it won't seem so important.

Answer 9

The verdict is in the Bible!



Ecclesiastes 3:19 (NIV) Man's fate is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath; man has no advantage over the animal. Everything is vanity.

Answer 10

I hope animals go to Heaven. We had to put my cat down yesterday..she was soo old and in a lot of pain and not eating...i really hope my sweetheart cat is in heaven.

Answer 11

I believe that animals go to heaven. They are pure, just as God made them. And I believe that they follow god. Just because we don't see them of their knees doesn't mean they are not faithful followers. They do just what they were created to do.They are more faithful to god than alot of people.

Answer 12

Fish are animals.

Satan not satin.

And if heaven existed then animals should go there, but I don't think it does, so no one is. It's over for everyone when they die.

Answer 13

I believe that animals do go to Heaven, but not an "animal" heaven. I believe we all go to a non-discriminatory heaven.

Answer 14

but I thought the requirement to be able to enter heaven is to accept Jesus?



do animals have that capability?

Answer 15

Dogs maybe but not cats. Never cats, not even squirrel cats.



Edit: I'm glad i went back to read the whole rant because I learned something new. Fish are not animals. That must be why my "vegetarian" neighbors eat fish, huh?



Edit2: Please, please tell me that mosquitoes at least don't go to heaven.

Answer 16

Hmmmmmm. Fish aren't animals. Well tell that to my Jack Dempsey, Jackie, my PET fish whom I love dearly. I take offense to that statement.

Answer 17

I don't believe there should be a board about religion..

Answer 18

Fish certainly are animals...grow up and read a biology book and not the ignorant Bible...

Answer 19

I don't believe in heaven period. I am sure that there is a hell though.

Answer 20

No, I don't.



Man is an animal, too.

Answer 21

first of all i think God could let them if he wanted them to

but you must have a soul that has accepted Jesus also....

but i dunno i'll have to wait and see...!

Answer 22

If they didn't it would be severely unfair.

Answer 23

Animals do not have souls......only humans.
