Excuse me please...but I need you to find the specific scripture that tells that GOD fashioned an animal out of pre-existing inert material (like HE created man)...stooped over and picked up that little furry creature and 'breathed" HIs very breath of life into it and gave it a soul.......oops..that's right..you can't....because it never happened...so sorry to burst your bubble, but nobody's goldfish will be swimming in the Crystal sea. Now...the NEW heaven and the NEW EARTH...wow..that is something totally different than what is existing NOW> When JESUS told the thief on the cross "TODAY, you will be with me in paradise, rest assured that camels and donkeys were not there to ride HIM into the gates of heaven at that moment.

Animals will not go to heaven,for God did not create them for that purpose.They cannot have a spiritual relationship with God.All things were made for Jesus and the people who follow Him.There is no purpose for animals to be in heaven.We do not need them as companions in heaven.The only company we need is God and the saints.We do not need the animals to labor for us,and we do not need to eat them.

[SUP]7 [/SUP]Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it(Ecclesiastes 12:7).
[SUP]
20 [/SUP]All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.
[SUP]21 [/SUP]Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth(Ecclesiastes 3:20-21).


The Bible says that all people's spirits go back to God who gave them,and animals spirits go downward.Animals do not go upward but downward.

The Bible describes heaven but it doesn't give a detailed analysis. I suppose if God wants to allow you to have a pet in heaven then he is perfectly able to do so....ya never know..

Animals cannot be judged because they do not have a sinful nature. They live by their inbuilt survival instincts.

Animals were created as companions to Man just as God created Angels as companions for himself. If a person has a favourite
Pet I cant see why a loving God would not allow that person to be with the Pet in Heaven. Before the fall their was no death so I assume that all the creatures that existed with Adam and Eve would have lived forever with them in Paradise.

I have gotten myself into several heated arguments and been banned from several Chatrooms because of what I believe is stupidity when it comes to Christian attitudes about animals. It all started when a lady expressed her thoughts "If my poodle is not allowed into heaven, I do not want to be there either!" My response was "What if your poodle ended up in hell, would you follow?" Needless to say, I was shunned and mocked and laughed at. Was the precious blood of JESUS shed for our pet gerbils? NO! NO! NO! Animals do not have the very breath of GOD in them. They do not have souls. Imagine having to have a judgement day for animals..which pet, which moose, which mouse or alligator deserves heaven and which deserves hell. What a joke! JESUS told us that HE is going to prepare for us a place and that we will join HIM. Nowhere at no time did JESUS say, 'Oh, by the way, I am also going to build a doghouse in the backyard of your mansion."
Man has dominion over all the animals. Man does not determine if those animals, insects, or living organisms share the present heaven with GOD's saints. We won't find chicken coops, stables, mangers, or barns in heaven. There will be joyous praising, singing etc. to the Lamb of GOD heard there, but NO bellowing, bleeting, screeching, mooing, clucking or yelping. As much as we would want our pet turtles, butterfies, pot bellied pigs to be around us in eternity..we have to face the fact that they will not be there. Neither will our childhood items like teddybears, Mattel Toys, or Ninja Turtles.
I laugh when I think that we can become so attached to our pets and materialistic items that we have them blessed on earth in hopes for eternal security with them. My hope is built on nothing less than JESUS blood and righteousness. I will not be riding around in heaven with my labrador retriever in my classic muscle car.

Well I'll just take that white horse away from Jesus then

Maybe I can look after it in small corner of heaven
