suresh85 View Profile History	Bible does say animal go to heaven ? Posted : 18 Dec, 2013 11:43 PM No Animals doesn't go to heaven most likely Bible reference for that is Job 1:2-3He had seven sons and three daughters,3 and he owned seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen and five hundred donkeys, and had a large number of servants. He was the greatest manamong all the people of the East. Job 42: 12 The Lord blessed the latter part of Job�s life more than the former part. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen and a thousand donkeys. 13 And he also had seven sons and three daughters. Actually god promised twice portion for job i.e 7 Thousand sheep = 14 thousand sheep 3 Thousand camels = 6 Thousand camels 5 hundred oxen = 1 Thousand oxen 5 Hundread donkey = 1 Thousand donkey but god gave one set of son and daughter why not twice, actually god gave twice portion for job i.e 7 sons = 7 new sons + 7 old sons was dead got to heaven from job chapter 1 = 14 3 daughters = 3 new daughters + 3 old daughters was dead got to heaven from job chapter 1 = 6 daughters that means only human go to heaven not animal if animal go into heaven then he might have given 7 thousand sheep, 3 thousand camels, 5 hundred oxen and 5 hundred donkey but he gave double portion means animal dont go to heavan.

I know that animals experience moral dilemmas like humans, and apparently it's possible for God to "open" an animals mouth so it can speak. I definitely do not think that animals are involved in the plan of salvation like humanity is, and only humans were created in the image of God, but I don't see any reason for a God, whose eye is even on the sparrow, to refrain from giving peace to the animals who live in this world that humans have perverted with sin. He gives animals rest on the Sabbath, why not eternal rest? Also, it's a common mistake for Christians to forget that we will NOT be in heaven forever. God is planning on recreating this planet, making it new, and we will live here again. There will be animals again. Maybe they will be some of the same animals? It doesn't say, but I prefer to think that my God is just and merciful for all His creatures. :peace::peace: Post Reply
View Profile History	Bible does say animal go to heaven ? Posted : 19 Dec, 2013 04:48 PM There is actually a passage in the Old Testament that I cannot find right now that addresses this. It asks the question about whether or not the animals go up or down when they die and the answer is that no one knows. I wish I could find it but it is very obscure and I believe it is in one of the prophetic books. Post Reply

Posted : 20 Dec, 2013 06:30 AM Ecclesiastes 3 19For what happens to the children of man and what happens to the beasts is the same; as one dies, so dies the other. They all have the same breath, and man has no advantage over the beasts, for all is vanity. 20All go to one place. All are from the dust, and to dust all return. 21Who knows whether the spirit of man goes upward and the spirit of the beast goes down into the earth? 22So I saw that there is nothing better than that a man should rejoice in his work, for that is his lot. Who can bring him to see what will be after him? :peace::peace: Post Reply

(Ecclesiastes 3:18-21 TEV) "I decided that God is testing us, to show us that we are no better than animals. After all, the same fate awaits man and animals alike. One dies just like the other. They are the same kind of creature. A human being is no better off than an animal, because life has no meaning for either. They are both going to the same place -- the dust. They both came from it; they will both go back to it. How can anyone be sure that a man's spirit goes upward while an animal's spirit goes down into the ground?" Post Reply
