Subject: Mans appropriate relation to animals? |
Bible Note: CDBJ, I don't think Tony necessarily stretches the text. In any case, that the Bible does say that there will be a "new heaven and a new earth" suggests to me that there will be animals. Also, somewhere in the Hebrew text it does read that the lion will lie down with the lamb (and there seems to be no indication it is figuratively speaking). Admittedly, the Bible does not say that we will specifically live with the same animals we owned on earth in heaven; but I don't think God, who is Father, will begrudge one that wish (James 1:5). |
