Bible Question:
Are there any references in the bible concerning man and appropriate relationships with animals? I have two brothers and one sister that keep cats and dogs living in their homes which create, for me, a problem with visiting them as I find the idea of cohabitation with animals in the home repulsive because of all the shed hair, fleas, and nasty excretions being left on rugs. In terms of groups like PETA I think they are Idol Worshippers of beasts. When I see someone give a tongue kiss to a dog I consider it repulsive beastiality. Are there any references to people keeping pets in the Old or New Testament that justifies the way people treat animals, nowadays? MWLaine |
Bible Answer: I wonder if possibly you have had a bad experience with an animal as to why you seem to be disturbed by some ones affection towards a pet. I will admit that French kissing a dog is going too far, even if it is a French poodle.ha, ha. But I for one love my dog and hope and pray that some day when its my time to die and enter Heaven that I will be met by all my loved ones and that’s including my dogs that God has entrusted me to care for over the years. If we can believe that He will give us the desires of our heart then i'm looking forward to eternity with Him and all the creatures of his creation. God bless Tony |
