Bible Note: Dear MasterWalk: This is, as you of course know, a Forum dedicated to the study of the Bible. Accordingly, we must press you to present the Forum with positive evidence that the statements in your Post 170546 are in accord with the teaching of God's word, the Bible. Sorry, but referring the Forum to a web site is not the same as citing Bible references and does not suffice to satisfy the Forum's requirement that posts be biblically based and scriptural references submitted whenever possible. ...... A word on the web site you submitted in response to another user's post. I perused it, liked some parts of it, especially the art work, but object to certain of its premises about animals as having no foundation in Scripture. On the Forum we attempt to treat the subject of animals in the same way that God's word treats the subject, ascribing to them no more and no less importance in God's scheme of creation than the Bible does. There is not one hint in all Scripture that Jesus died for the sins of animals as well as the sins of mankind. Nor are animals man's equal in God's economy. On the contrary, at the very dawning of creation, in Genesis 1:26, God himself set up the relationship between man and the remainder of His creation when He laid it down very clearly that man was to have dominion over all the earth and its creatures. Dominion over the fish of the sea, the fowl of the air, the cattle -- the whole earth and everything that creeps upon it. ..... So, welcome to you, and please do give us your Bible references about animals' souls and their after-life. --Hank |
