| Okay, I am about to get in BIG trouble with all of you. Oh well. Just please know that I love dogs just as much as all of you. Ecc 3:19 For3588 that which befalleth4745 the sons1121 of men120 befalleth4745 beasts;929 even one thing259 befalleth4745 them: as the one2088 dieth,4194 so3651 dieth4194 the other;2088 yea, they have all3605 one259 breath;7307 so that a man120 hath no369 preeminence4195 above4480 a beast:929 for3588 all3605 is vanity.1892 Ecc 3:20 All3605 go1980 unto413 one259 place;4725 all3605 are1961 of4480 the dust,6083 and all3605 turn to dust again.7725, 413, 6083 Ecc 3:21 Who4310 knoweth3045 the spirit7307 of man120 that1931 goeth5927 upward,4605 and the spirit7307 of the beast929 that1931 goeth3381 downward4295 to the earth?776 Ecc 3:22 Wherefore I perceive7200 that3588 there is nothing369 better,2896 than that4480, 834 a man120 should rejoice8055 in his own works;4639 for3588 that1931 is his portion:2506 for3588 who4310 shall bring935 him to see7200 what shall be4100, 7945, 1961 after310 him? Sorry about the Strong's numbers. I say no they do not because the spirit of man goes upward and the spirit of the beast goes downward. That is the difference between us and animals. Why else don't you feel guilty for eating them? I would love to contrary evidence though.

| I remember reading an article in Dog World a few years back about this subject. Actually it was a question about whether dogs have souls. They interviewed a rabbi, a Protestant minister and a Catholic priest. (Almost sounds like a joke coming on.) Anyway the rabbi was the only one that said no. The other two admitted to not knowing but agreed that it was possible. With the scripture verses - isn't the beast the devil when it is spoken of in that term. Other wise you see something like a beast of burden when talking about oxen. I wish my dad was still alive. He was a minister and had the most down to earth explanations of the Bible. My own personal feeling is that it is possible that we endow our pets with souls by loving them and caring for them. Perhaps not all animals can go to Heaven but if my dogs aren't there I ain't going. |

| You're darn right they go to HEAVEN. Some how, I can't imagine heaven without all my little furbabies. Just as you can quote from the Bible on their not going to heaven, you will also find passages in the Bible where they indicate that animals do go to heaven. So, I guess it's what you want to believe.

| When you look up the word beast in this passage it says livestock, cattle, animal... So, I don't think it refers to the devil. Could I see where you see that they do go to heaven. I would really like to believe that they do but have not found any evidence.

| I'm thinking it doesn't come out and say it but if it is in there I'm also thinking it would be in the new testament. Helen, Do you have any scriptures you can give us? |

Here is another site: http://www.clarifyingchristianity.com/pets.shtml Bottom line is that God will make Heaven wonderful for each of us and when we all return to Earth for the 1000 years that the devil is bound I know our pets will be there. |

| If you do a search online, you can find websites that include passages from the bible that point towards the fact that they do go to heaven. Animals are God's creatures...
