BTW, prayers warriors our grand-nephew, one of the Marines is leaving for deployment. We know not where. Thanks for the prayers in advance.
Well, I’m glad that’s straightened out. It was an embarrassment to think he said it...
Exactly, although I hope that beloved animals will be allowed. If not, we are very blessed for the time we have with them in this life.
Who Let The Dogs Out?, Woof, Woof Woof Woof!
“Meanwhile our country is going to Hell, the Mohammedans are coming from us. Really dog going to heaven or not is our greatest concern?”
I don’t know, but if dogs DO go to Heaven, guess who it will REALLY pis$$ off!!!!!! Needless to say, I like the idea.
No priest ever will tell a distraught little child that their dog is not going to heaven. They just are not going to do that. But as adults we should be able to handle the possibility that something that is not capable of reason will have no need of heaven.
Well, what does the Bible say regarding animals in Heaven?
Romans 8
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. 18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. 20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, 21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. 23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
According to the Word of God...Your dog, cat, hamster, canary, etc., is in Heaven.
Remind me of rap song who let the dogs out LOL!
I like this explanation: http://bswett.com/1968-05Fluffy.html
There are a lot of lazy, stupid journalists out there, and some of the laziest and stupidest work the religion beat.

Thank you for posting the story of ‘Fluffy the Wheep.’
I guess you didn’t read my entire post.
>> “Not sure if our specific pets go to heaven but the Bible is very clear that animals are with us in eternity.” <<

Scripture please!

Your eisegisis fails to make your dreams come true.
Try again, no cigar.
And from what theological seminary did you get your degree?
My question to all Christians is this -
Exactly who will reside on the NEW earth?
Where did the notion originate from that all faithful Christians will go to heaven?
Isaiah 11:6 says this -
International Standard Version
“The wolf will live with the lamb; the leopard will lie down with the young goat. The calf and the lion will graze together, and a little child will lead them.
I don’t believe there has been a period in the history of the world where this has occurred, so it must fortell the future.
Now, check out Isaiah 65:20 - 21
…20”No longer will there be in it an infant who lives but a few days, Or an old man who does not live out his days; For the youth will die at the age of one hundred And the one who does not reach the age of one hundred Will be thought accursed. 21”They will build houses and inhabit them; They will also plant vineyards and eat their fruit. 22”They will not build and another inhabit, They will not plant and another eat; For as the lifetime of a tree, so will be the days of My people, And My chosen ones will wear out the work of their hands.…
The preceding verses come after Isaiah 65:17, which references creation of a new heavens and a new earth.
Isaiah 65:22 must also fortell the future since it is not referring to homebuilders, but those who have been judged as righteous.
Not sure how anyone could think animals could go to heaven after reading Isaiah 11:6
I do not believe that there will be many theological seminary grads, maybe none at all, on the sea of fire and glass.
God’s word is clear, so they go to be with their own kind at seminary: Unbelievers who trash the word.
