1 | Do your pets go to heaven ? | Bible general Archive 3 | DocTrinsograce | 174581 | ||
Dear Aspilos, It is a poor hermeneutic, indeed, that builds doctrine on the absence of a text. Anything else is, at best, speculation. An assertion like this would be rooted in sheer imagination, as we'd have the same justification to discuss DVD players in heaven. You see, we can speculate that there will be animal life on the earth of Revelation 21, since God is the process of restoration of creation. However, there is no mention at all of animals in heaven. We live by every Word of God -- not by His silence. In Him, Doc |

Doc, it is indeed a poor hermeneutic that builds doctrine on the absence of text, and it's a poor assumtion on your part if your accusing me of doing so. I simply state the facts about what is not mentioned about heaven because we all know so little about this subject. I doubt that our limited knowledge takes away from it's greatness. That's why I said, "Who knows?" You even mention Rev. 21 which seems to be more a subject about the church. Notice the following. Rev 21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. Rev 21:9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife. 10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, Bendiciones!

Dear Aspilos, Then we need take care to be explicit about our assertions, lest we are misunderstood. We would not, of course, want to even inadvertently advocate a mishandling of the Word of God. Thank you for the clarification. In my references to Revelation 21, I was thinking of "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. (verse 1)" In Him, Doc |

With all due respect Doc, now you're accusing me of making an assertion. I repeat for the second time, what I said was, "Who knows?" As for being explicit, that may only be necessary for those who wish to put unsaid words in our mouths. You weren't too explicit about your reference to Rev 21 the first time either but I see you did make the correction the second time. Practice what you preach. :-) Bendiciones! Aspilos |

Dear Aspilos, Sorry... hit post button before I realized I should have said "implication." Yes, we all need to strive for Biblical correctness and doctrinal clarity. I struggle with this all the time. Don't take things personally... we are all in this together as we seek to grow in grace. In Him, Doc |

Doc, I'm not taking it personal. That's why I made my last comment with a smiley face. :-) Bendiciones! Aspilos |
