Bible Question:
My pastor said that there will be no animals in heaven. Is that true? I noticed in Acts 10:11 that when a sheet came down from heaven filled with animals....well, how can that happen if there are no animals in heaven? |
Bible Answer: Gen 2:7 Then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being. According to the scriptures man is the only thing that God created that afterwards He breathed into him to become a living soul/spirit. No other creature did God do this to. Now regarding the the animals in the sheet: Acts 10:10 But he became hungry and was desiring to eat; but while they were making preparations, he fell into a trance; Acts 10:11 and he *saw the sky opened up, and an object like a great sheet coming down, lowered by four corners to the ground, Acts 10:12 and there were in it all kinds of four-footed animals and crawling creatures of the earth and birds of the air. Acts 10:13 A voice came to him, "Get up, Peter, kill and eat!" Acts 10:14 But Peter said, "By no means, Lord, for I have never eaten anything unholy and unclean." I believe that God was only using a metaphor with Peter. You see Jews were not allowed to eat everything (pigs etc..) back then and Petre was well aware of the restriced laws. God knew that Peter would catch on quickly to this example oppose to (GOD) Him using another thing. Peter immediately said "Lord I wouldn't eat anything common on unclean". So the animals being let down in the sheet was just used a metaphor... I'm positive animals do ot go to heaven based on the scriptures |
