Bible Question: Where in the Bible does it mention animals in heaven? |
Bible Answer: Dear Flinkywood Seems to me in order to be answering your own question. If you would consider some things that separate animals form humans. Do animals have souls? Can an animal attain salvation? How does an animal come to the point of eternal life? When does an animal acquire the Holy Spirit? At what point should an animal be baptized? Then the question of should only our pets be aloud? Why not Hippo's, Elephants, Dinosaurs? If you want to keep it biblical you have to admit the Dragons, Leviathans, and don't forget the Unicorns! In using the book of Revelation as a source for admittance of animals consider the fact that the Revelation is written in the form of Allegory, Symbolism, Metaphor. So a horse is not a horse of course of course. As Doc said about the problem of cleaning up after the horses we would also see signs that read "Cloud your Dog" In closing let me just say that we will be very busy when we go to Heaven. In the words of the old spiritual. When we've been there 10,000 yrs. Bright shining as the sun (SON) We've no less days To sing Gods' Praise Than when we first begun!!! I think our focus will be on more important matters rather than did "Ole Spot" make it. Sorry but there isn't any scriptural evidence no matter how we want it to be for animals to be in heaven.
