Do Pets Go To Heaven

Nothing god has created is ever ever lost writes sylvia browne in her book all pets go to heaven.

Do pets go to heaven. The bible makes it clear that the majority of people will notgo to heaven see matthew chapter 7 verses 13 and 14 mat 7 13 14 for one example. The bible does not give any explicit teaching on whether pets animals have souls or whether pets animals will be in heaven. The first is that animals supposedly don t have a soul. Therefore we wonder if pets or any other animals go to heaven.

There are two main objections christians have against the idea that pets go to heaven. God does not specifically say one way or the other whether or not any of our personal pets or any animal for that matter will be crossing over to be with us in heaven. However we can use general biblical principles to develop some clarity on the subject. 7 15 22 have the breath of life.

There are no household pets mentioned in either place but the fact that animals at all are mentioned means it is completely possible that we could see dogs and cats as well. Some believe that only humans have a soul and animals are mere biological machines who stop functioning and return to the dust of the earth. Animals have their lives in god. In psalm 104 we read that animals look to.

The spiritual lives of the animals we love. That is both man and animals are living beings. The question of whether our pets go to heaven requires an examination of the natures of animals of humans and of god. Before going on it is most important to state that if pets do go to heaven their owners will also have to go to heaven to see them.

The bible states that both man genesis 2 7 and animals genesis 1 30. Upon examining the scriptures we just don t have biblical support to say this with certainty whether or not our pets will be in heaven however it does appear that animals will exist in the kingdom of heaven isaiah 11 6 9. This is where all of our digging into what the bible literally says about heaven meets the very first point we made head on. So each animal who has lived from bees and dolphins to mice and elephants returns to god its maker after their earthly lives come to an end.
