1 | "Household" Family Pets In Heaven | Acts 16:31 | Doctrinity | 193671 | ||
Helping Hand please : Bible resources did not reveal if pets are inclusive in you and " your household " family . Resource, fact, revelation, or inclination welcome . Another way ; can a souless "every creature" in the household of a believer, once given the Gospel, go to heaven as part of the household ? Jesus' 2d is on a horse. If likely, I will claim Acts 16:31 for my family critters . |

Doctrinity, Hmmm... I'd be careful of eisegesis. Ecclesiastes 3:19-21 does say that humans and animals are both have the same fate. However, that Scripture is simply affirming the mortality of both. By the way, when modern people ask these questions -- the ancients wouldn't have imagined it! -- they are often thinking of cats and dogs. (I can't think of a passage of Scripture that talks about pets at all... maybe I'm wrong there.) Nevertheless, both cats and dogs are unclean animals. I'm not sure that that necessarily means that they won't be in heaven -- but at least they won't be in the City Foursquare (Revelation 21:27). At any rate, given that angels don't qualify for redemption (Hebrews 2:16), it is hard to conceive of animals would. In Him, Doc |
