    Do animals have souls
  • Marke - In Reply - 2 years ago
    There is nothing in the Bible to indicate that God will judge animals for their sins. There are indications in the Bible that God has declared some animals unclean for specific reasons, but none of that seems to indicate a future continuation of their spirits after death.

    I don't think animals sin and I don't think animals can be cleansed by the blood of Jesus and made clean. Nothing unclean will enter into God's presence, but God can come to earth and mingle with animals on earth.

    Agreed with brother Marke here.

    God had really only designated souls (Earthbound) to mankind. Now, does that mean animals should be treated without care or less? By no means.

    Proverbs 12:10 - A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.

    Proverbs 27:23 - Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds.

    Knowing there is also no mention of a heaven for animals the same. The best you can do (especially if they're your pets) is to treat them with love and care as this is the only side of the grave they were created for. There's something particularly sweet about those who have mercy for God's creation.

    Genesis 2:7

    And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a LIVING SOUL.

    Ecclesiastes 3:18-21

    I said in my heart with regard to the children of man that God is testing them that they may see that they themselves are but beasts. For what happens to the children of man and what happens to the beasts is the same; as one dies, so dies the other. They all have the same breath, and man has no advantage over the beasts, for all is vanity. All go to one place. All are from the dust, and to dust all return. Who knows whether the spirit of man goes upward and the spirit of the beast goes down into the earth?

    Job 35:11 Who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth and makes us wiser than the birds of the heavens?

    Job 12:7-10 But ask the beasts, and they will teach you; the birds of the heavens, and they will tell you; or the bushes of the earth, and they will teach you; and the fish of the sea will declare to you. Who among all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this? In his hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of all mankind.

    ** Ecclesiastes 12:7

    And the dust returns to the earth as it was, and THE SPIRIT returns to God who gave it.

    comment: Everything returns to dust upon death. The spirits return to God. [ there will be animals and birds in heaven]

    Amen. Yes, I agree, we will see animals in God's Heaven.

    Isaiah 11:7-9

    "And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea"

    Amen Bro. Dan but this Isaiah 11 is Right here on this Earth..As Verse 9 says the EARTH shall be full of the Knowlege of the lord as the waters cover the Seas...All these animals are symbolic language for ppl and their personalities...The CHILD that leads them is their new innerman which is the H.G. that Child of Promise...They have birth these Children that leads them..As Isaiah said a lil Child is gonna lead them...The mountain is the Kingdom of God where the Children wants to lead them .. Hebrews 12 : 22...You are come unto mt. ZION THAT heavenly Jerusalem...The city of the living God etc..Isaiah mentions the sucking Child and the woman with Child a great company which answers to Rev 12 : 5 she brought forth a man Child that is gona RULE ALL NATIONS...( the spirit of truth) the H.G. that Jesus said was gonna reprove the World of sin and Judgement and righteousness.

    ....The lil Child that leads them is the H.G. The Child of Promise...All the Animals are just symbolic language for ppl that have birth the Child of Promise the H.G...A new innerman...Thats y Isaiah is saying a lil Child is gonna lead them which is the H.G.

    ...But this is here on the earth as Rev 11 : 15...the Kingdoms of this world have become the Kingdoms of our lord and his Christ and he shall reign for ever and ever right here on this beautiful planet...As David saw the whole world at rest and full of his GLORY...In that he is gonna rule ALL nations implies all the world...The Kingdom of HEAVEN is gonna be within us...As the mystery of the Kingdom of heaven is Christ in you...The Child of Promise is the H.G...Emanuel

    ....This Father and son relationship between David and Solomon is just prophetic of a Father and Son relations between Jesus and the H.G...As its Jesus who sows that good seed in our hearts that initiates the Birth of the Child of Promise the H.G...Thats y he is saying that which is BORN of the Spirit is Spirit which is the H.G. that Child of Promise. ok gbu

    Bro Alex,

    Thanks for your response.

    Animals/pets teach us how to love others - more than ourselves. They are God's examples of how we are to Love!

    God Bless.

    Happy Resurrection Day! Bro Dan.

    Just checking in with you today. You've been fairly quiet on this board lately. Doing ok?

    Blessings to you in the name of our risen Lord, Jesus Christ, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Who was and Who is and Who is to come!
  • Bro dan - In Reply - 2 years ago
    Hi Dear Sis GIGI,

    Thanks for reaching out on this Blessed of ALL Days! Doing well, and thanks for asking. Hope you and all the regulars are doing well, and I hope you are healing, and typing with 2 hands again. Praise the Lord!

    Romans 6:4

    "Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life."

    God Bless You.

    Amen, Brother Alex, The Holy Ghost is WORKING in creation to bring creation to TRUTH.

    Revelation 2:28 And I will give him the morning star.

    Revelation 22:16 ....I am the the root and offspring if David, the bright and shining star.

    Job 38:7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

    Revelation 1:20...the STARS are the ANGELS ....

    Psalms 104:4 Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers (priest) a flaming fire:

    Psalms 103:20 Bless the Lord, YE HIS ANGELS, who excel in strength, and do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.

    GBU
