on the point of animals going downward, ALL OF US go downward. Meaning that we get buried in the earth. People AND animals turn to dust but I find it hard to believe that animals are put here on earth for the purpose of human companionship and protection or whatever, only to be discarded after they die, with no reward for THEIR service to God while here on earth. WE get to go to a special place when we die, and WE get a reward for OUR service to God. I think that animals go to a special place when they die, but this is only my personal opinion..

nobody's lying to her. She asked a question to get our opinions, and that's what we're giving her..
I didnt say anyone is lying to her I said I wouldnt ask you to lie to me if I asked the truth of a matter in a BIBLE discussion seeking the truth of the matter from out of the scriptures.
This thread should just be moved to one of the other forums which arent about what the scriptures say or not. But rather in the other forums where folks typically speak more freely from themselves (then from the scripture).
People lie going above what is written in things they dont know anything about.

I know it doesnt say that in the scriptures that God created dog to be mans best freind, my sister keeps repeating that same lie to me and I tell her too, thats a lie, thats not true. God created woman for the man as a suitable helper, not a dog.
In truth Adam named both his wife and the animals God brought to him.
And whatever Adam named them that was his name.

The miscellaneous forum, thats sorta where anything goes, someone might come in and say thats not in scripture to a doctor doolittle saying but you could say I dont care about the scripture give me your thoughts only (not Gods) and that would go over just fine there I think.
Its sort of like knowing your forums in that way, because each one will cater to your desires accordingly and you can hear what you want to hear with less interuptions for the most part.

God created men and beasts yes, as dc posted already, here are both spoken of
Ecc 3:19 For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.
Ecc 3:20 All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.
Ecc 3:21 Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?
Ecc 3:22 Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?

Thank you for that, this is what I read....
Solomon most evidently makes an essential difference between the human soul and that of brutes. Both have souls, but of different natures, the soul of man was made for God, and to God it shall return. God is its portion, and when a holy soul leaves the body, it goes to paradise. The soul of the beast was made to derive its happiness from this lower world. Brutes shall have a resurrection, and have an endless enjoyment in a new earth. The body of man shall arise, and join his soul that is already above; and both enjoy final blessedness in the fruition of God. That Solomon did not believe they had the same kind of spirit, and the same final lot, as some materialists and infidels say, is evident from 12:7: "The spirit shall return unto God who gave it."
Amen!
