And there are people on this very forum who say dogs don’t go to heaven.
The humans who believe animals are just tossed away away are shallow and obviously have either never had a close relationship with an animal or they have been brainwashed by leaders of their so-called shallow Church.
And yes, I think all Christian Churches--Protestant and Catholic--are only grasping at the tail end of the Truth that is God (just because God is so incredibly large He is hard to comprehend...hard to bring down to human explanation).
God is--and His Heaven is--so much more than we have been told by our well-meaning but error-filled teachers.
Humans are pathetic when they try to tell us about God and Heaven...and sometimes they are worse than pathetic, because they see that subject as a means to get what they want...as a will to power.
