Bible Note: Hello rabban; A warm welcome to SBF. You said,... " I would like to be able to prove that pets go to Heaven. It would sometimes be very useful pastorally. The trouble is that I cannot find it in Scripture." ... I had that question come up some years past by a friend and brother who had lost a beloved pet, the verses I gave him were, ... Matt 7:9-11 "Or what man is there among you who, when his son asks for a loaf, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he will not give him a snake, will he? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!" I believe that the gifts that our Lord is referring to are spiritual, but, Well, I cant say for sure that this says it, but do you think that when we get to heaven, our Daddy will give to His child, who He loves more then we can ever know, that asks for a beloved pet, a snake named spot? We don't know of corse what we will want when we get to heaven, somehow I don't think that our pets will be on our minds, but eternity is a long time to think about it.... God bless John |
