Animals in heaven

[RussellJBenigno]

will there be dinosaurs?

Interesting question. I never wondered about that.
Let's take a guess since there isn't much for us to go off of in scripture.
The bible states that God is going to create a new heaven and earth. This means we are going to have a place to walk talk and live. We are not going to have these frail human bodies. We are not going to limited in our abilities. In other words think of it as us having the abilities of superman, as a comparison. We will be able to cross the universe and explore other galaxies and worlds. I see no reason, under those circumstances, why dinosaurs would no exist. They couldn't hurt us. Then on the other hand ole T-Rex would not be a meat eater, because there would be no death. Just like the bible says the Lion will lie down with the Lamb, and ole T-Rex may want to fetch a stick you throw.

Just to set the record straight. Nobody is going to heaven and residing there. So our pets will not be in heaven, but be with us. Living in heaven is a myth by modern christianity, just as it is a unscriptural myth animals have no souls. The scripture teaches that heaven is where God rules from, but the time is coming when everything in heaven will move to the new earth. God will rule from earth after Jesus hands the kingdom over to God. The original idea of the Garden of Eden will be re-established. And what was in the garden? Animals!

I was reading the passage that said when Christ returns He will be riding a horse with 10s of thousands of the saints. God asked me,"Where do you think the horses came from?". He said,"All the horses who have died and returned to me, because all souls are mine". The problem with people who say animals have no soul is because they have very little understanding of scripture and only repeat what they have read somewhere else by someone who had no scriptural understanding.
