1 | Mans appropriate relation to animals? | Prov 12:12 | CDBJ | 187303 | ||
Hi Tony, I believe you are really stretching Psalm 37:4 to the limit. Psalm 37:4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. I don’t think its saying delight thyself in your pets! I love my pets but I can’t say that I’ve found any Scripture that assures me they will be in heaven? I’m very sad to say that but facts are facts. 2 Tim. 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. CDBJ |

CDBJ, I don't think Tony necessarily stretches the text. In any case, that the Bible does say that there will be a "new heaven and a new earth" suggests to me that there will be animals. Also, somewhere in the Hebrew text it does read that the lion will lie down with the lamb (and there seems to be no indication it is figuratively speaking). Admittedly, the Bible does not say that we will specifically live with the same animals we owned on earth in heaven; but I don't think God, who is Father, will begrudge one that wish (James 1:5). |
