Does dogs have souls? I just want to ask a question that Im not sure, so I wanted to seek help to my question. Does dogs have souls? Any Bible verse related to this? Serious answers appreciated. |
yes A while ago Pope John Paul II had anounced that animals have souls and it is our responsibility to care for them properly. I can't remember where I read that but I had passed it on to all of my catholic relatives. I've worked with animal communicators, and yes I believe they have souls and I believe in reincarnation as well (long story). I believed that animals have souls before I ever talked to an animal communicator. I didn't need anything to prove it to me and I was brought up catholic. suz |
But I still have doubts, because one of my pastors told me that animals don't have souls, and they also told me that when they were created, they were not breathed with a living soul by God although they were blessed by Him. But for us humans however, God did breathe the living life into us. But still, thanks for the answer you gave. I greatly appreciate it. Anyway, Im a christian. |
I'm serious when I say this. YES They have souls. Sorry I can't quote the bible but I truly believe this. It's some HUMANS that I worry about....many don't have souls. If they did ...they could never do the things they do to animals & other humans out of cruelty.....there are some EVIL people in this world. There are NO evil animals. |
Disclaimer - I don't count Fleas, parasites and ticks when I said NO evil animals - I DO wonder what their purpose is on earth. |
I can not believe a loving God would not let the animals that bring such joy here on earth....not be allowed to join us in the hereafter. It's paradise, correct? My paradise would include animals. :) |

Some of my friends told me that dogs are very dangerous as they can attack people without any warning. |

PEOPLE are NOT born with the instinct to attack. So when you see murders, cruelty and other abominations - that was a personal CHOICE...where as a dog relies on instinct. There's a BIG Difference. Interesting thread though. |

And oh, I had heard some news in the past that owners train their dogs to kill, I think that is very horrible. Don't you think so? |
LOL...ANOTHER disclaimer since I couldn't edit. There ARE some people born evil and with the instincts to kill. Take Ted Bundy....although they were driven by their OWN fantasys....many people really are born already programmed to kill. That's what I consider EVIL Whereas animals don't kill based on fantasy or thrills - it's plain simple instinct.... and yes - too many people train their dogs to guard their homes or just plain want a mean dog. I totally disagree with this kind of training...but again - you can't blame the dog if it's been trained to attack. |
Not a doubt in my mind and here are many quotes from the Bible showing animals have souls. http://www.all-creatures.org/murti/tsnhod-08.html Catholic explaination http://www.all-creatures.org/ca/ark-186soul.html Here is a book you might want to read: The souls of animals. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/188...lance&n=283155 Another recommended book: When Elephants Weep http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/038...lance&n=283155 |
When Elephants Weep is an EXCELLENT book. I loved it!!!!! I recommend everyone run out and find a copy a read it. Then make someone who doesn't exactly love animals read it. If they don't want to read it, hit them over the head with it. (JK) :rolleyes: |

Someone once told me that "dogs can't go to heaven." I totally disagree. I think that everyone's heaven may be different. Like their own personal utopia. My heaven will include animals because frankly, I like them more than most people. :) |
