Animals are created by God...but there are also good and wild ones, do they have a soul? what I only know is that they have body and instinct and I'm not sure about this, can anyone prove to me that kind animals can go to heaven? I f not..where does animals go after they die?

This is one of those questions that will be debated for the ages. I do believe animals will go to Heaven. Why would God let us have the relationship we have with them, just to cut us off when we reach paradise? I have heard the arguments that there is no scripture to back this up. Well, the Bible was written for man, not for animals. Animals are already smart about those sorts of things. :-)

I think so. I hope when I pass I will go and when I do I hope all the animals I ever had will be there with me. When I was in school at an early age I will never forget the teacher that used to go outside with us and we would all lay outside and watch the clouds in the sky and he told us to say what the clouds looked like and if one looked like an animal that meant that was an animal in heaven. And I still find myself looking at the clouds and wondering if that was one of mine that passed It is such a great thing to watch the clouds and see this sort of thing. You should check it out one day.

I love that jahernandezrivas...what a nice, refreshing response. It comforted me, thinking about my animals that have passed that were loved as any family member. I miss them all and know that God will reunite us when it is time.

I have no doubt that whatever awaits us in the afterlife awaits all other types of animals too. for like us, they have a soul, and that soul is no greater or lesser than our own. I think it must be really depressing if you believe that when your most loved animals die they are just gone. no heaven would be worthy of the name if that were true.

In my opinion if people have soul after they die animals have too.I think maybe souls is existing in real world.But i suspect whether there is a god or not.

I think no one can prove. But personally, I want to believe in that. Animals I think have souls, too, and they are gonna be included in Paradise. You know, life after the end of the world. So maybe yes, I do believe. :D They deserve to be in heaven, too, though I've never heard of animal souls wandering the earth waiting for justice from that rude man who killed them. Animals are created by God, so He will not neglect them. He will always love animals as He does to us. :D

Nope, I don't think so. Only a soul can go to heaven, and only humans have it. The only way I can think is that they go where they really belong, that is to return to mother nature to be consumed a start life all over again. How, the nutrients provided by their decomposed body would be the food by other living things. People are not like this as we gave respect to our departed ones.
