Like humans, all animals transit to the Afterlife. It's a natural process. And 'hell' does not exist, but is rather, just another silly Jewish myth that's been drummed into your head.

Of course animals will go to heaven. What will you eat there?
Was the Serpent not in the garden of Eden? grin
Only your God knows what he will put there next to 'entice' you.
So both your eyes would be opened after 'chopping' the forbidden fruit again.
Abi, no chopping of 'congo meat' for 'eaven? cheesy

Animals are souls too. Just in another body different from humans. And like humans too they are in the process of spiritual evolution and maturation.

Everybody with his own made up fairy tales. . . .@OP, any body that tells you he knows anything about animals after they die is simply LYING. . . .
Re: Will Animals Go To Heaven? by Nobody: 12:43pm On Feb 03, 2012
Levae animals first, your bible even told you in Ecclesiates that When a man dies, he goes to the ground, meaning he dies, no afterlife, no zoom zoom to the clouds or down below to 'hell''. Same goes for animals.

What consitutes as "sin" in the animal kingdom?

Who are the "chosen" breed or group of animals that will thus go forth into the animal kingdom and preach the "good news" for the "sinners" to repent?

Did Jesus die for the animals?

What will become of the poor pigs who are in certain relgious denomination considered as filthy and dirty?

Not everything that exists among the community of humans is present or can be mapped out into the animal world . . ."Thank God" wink

Commandments for animals:

Thou shall not bite or devour
Thou shall not look lustfully at the opposite gender
Thou shall not forcefully make love with the opposite gender, like the chickens do
Thou shall willing give your life to Calabar people as dinner recipe (for dogs)
, to be continued,

Failure to abide by my laws will lead you to Canada grin

Re: Will Animals Go To Heaven? by numo86(m): 12:10am On Feb 04, 2012
animals wont go to heaven & cant go, infact let us understand d reason why some humans will go to heaven, ordinarily it was never Gods purpose for some humans to go to heaven or humans to leave in heaven, going to heaven was a provision that was made available in other for God to accomplish his purpose of humans living perfectly just as adam did b4 he sinned, now those few humans do have an assignment to do up there,a serious 1 to be specific, to rule wit Jesus as co-priests and kings, revelation chapter 20 verse 6 to be specific ,tells us of that weighty assignment,
those are definitly assignments that animals cant fit into to, neither children nor adolescents, so for many who tink goin to heaven is to play ps3,chop food,marry,give birth,go to toilet and do normal things that humans do,then they are on a long thing, isiah's prophecies gives us a glimpse of how animals & humans wil live together forever here on earth, as @ that time as recorded in isaiah chapter 11:1-9 animals will enjoy peace & tranquility amongst themselves and also wit humans,

SO ANIMALS WILL & CANNOT GOTO HEAVEN,

Where is that in your bible?  Did you mean to quote Ecclesiastes 3:21? that says:

"Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?"

Unless you are quoting from another book. undecided

This is hilarious. Let's see what the bible really says because it's a sin to take verses out of context in order to justify animals not going to heaven. My pet goat died last year and I'm sure he is frolicking with Jesus right now.

Ecclesiastes 12  
12:1 Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;  
12:2 While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain:  
12:3 In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened,  
12:4 And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of musick shall be brought low;  
12:5 Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets:  
12:6 Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern.  
12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.  
12:8 Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity.     
12:9 And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs.


I don't think that verse is talking about animals professor olaadegbu.

I don't think that verse is talking about animals professor olaadegbu.

There are four metaphors that deal with death when one gets older.  Verse 6 in particular talks about the silver cord, golden bowl, the pitcher and the wheel.  Verse 7 talks about dust returning to earth in accordance of the curse pronounced on man at the beginning.

If I were you I would take heed on the advice given in verse 1 that says that you should remember your creator in the days of your youth before you get to the point of no return.

Metaphorically or literally, I still don't see why you tried to use that verse to bar my pet goat from heaven. What do silver cords, golden bowls, pitchers and wheels have to do with the fate of Wildebeests going to heaven to munch on sweet heavenly grasslands?

Don't worry about your pet goat munching on sweet heavenly grassland, there are enough heavenly animals to do a good job over there. You should be concerned whether your spirit man goes back to its maker unprepared or not.

Ok, thanks for the clarification. Animals do go to heaven. Next time don't try to confuse us with this

YES TRUE! ANIMALS WILL ALSO EXPERENCE AFTERLIFE! their spiritual energy will be reincarnated and find a new body, since energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but is conserved. and the soul is a form of spiritual energy. cool


heaven and hell is garbage.
