Do you think dogs go to Heaven like people?

Question

I do and I will give you reasons why.

1) They can't sin because they have no concept of right or wrong.
2) Most or a lot of preachers believe there are Heavens , like 3 . I figure one for humans, one for animals, and one for God. I believe Jesus is with humans.
3) God was proud of his creations. If not he would not have gone out of his way to save animals during the great flood.

4) I don't want negative anti God posts. Just because you have a terrible life and are a terrible person , don't take it out on us here.

5) I am not allowing Anons to answer because they will post negative , hateful posts.

In this heaven will be Dinosaurs , and every animal that lived, and they will not kill each other. Lassie , Rin Tin Tin, and Benji. It will be like the biggest National Park or zoo ever created.

Losing a pet is hard, I lost my dog about 7 years ago now and I still think about the furry little idiot at least once a week.

However, the post isn't about you coping with the loss of your pet - you're transparently using it as an excuse to post something of this nature and trying to use your loss as an excuse to create an echo-chamber.

Heaven doesn't exist, and there's no part of what we consider 'us', that persists after our death.
I miss my dog, but it doesn't bring me any greater discomfort to know that he didn't go anywhere. My time with him was special to me, and I'm grateful for the 13 years I got. It doesn't in any way devalue that time to think that I won't see him again in some fantasy after I too die.
I would argue that the concept of heaven actively does believers a disservice, but negating the need to process death correctly, and instead often gives people an excuse to not utilise the time they spend alive with other people/animals fully.

Sorry, but animals don't have souls. If they did would God have killed an animal to make clothes for Adam and Eve? Or would He institute animal sacrifice so that the high priest could spread blood on the Mercy Seat, that was on top of the Ark of the Covenant, that forgave man's sin for one year? If animals had souls as man does He would have not done the above. Also consider all the animals on the Ark of Noah, besides the two of everything, that were provided for food and sacrifice.

He didn't want to end His creation yet, just all the evil men that inhabited Earth. Seems the only righteous people on Earth Were Noah and his family.

I'm not religious (atheist) but I think if an infant has a chance to go to a heaven, a dog should be just as eligible. I don't see much difference between these two in terms of being able to determine right from wrong, or learning ability, or the ability to suffer, to have dreams or nightmares, or anything else.

I voted "yes" in that, if I did believe heaven existed, I certainly think dogs belong there if infants belong there.

No, as they are not people, and do not have beliefs. You cannot commit a good or bad action if you do not have a belief.

Also, more people are killed and injured each year by dog attacks, than any other domesticated animal.

God saved plants too, it's not a matter of "love" but necessity.

The Bible says that in Heaven, no one will be disappointed. So I say yes. I would be disappointed if my dog wasn't there.

It says people are not given in marriage in Heaven. Matthew 22:30 New American Standard Bible
For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

As for animals there may be some as it is written that the lion will lay down with the lamb. But what about our pets from this life? Will they be with us in the new earth? Some argue that such a scenario would be impossible, because the sacrifice of Jesus was to redeem humans, not animals. And it is true that there aren’t any Scriptures that state animals will be resurrected with new bodies. Moreover, our specific pets, might not be in heaven. Just as many people who reject Jesus’ power in their lives, it might not be safe to introduce them in heaven.

However, this might not rule out the possibility. God will bless His people with eternal life as a gift of His grace when Jesus comes again (2 Timothy 1:10). So if the all-powerful God of the universe wants to surprise us with the gift of resurrected kittens, puppies, horses, fish, rabbits, birds, turtles, or whatever other critters we love on this earth — He is certainly able to do so!

@Daniela1982 I was testing you. I don't believe we know othes in heaven. We are brothers and sisters. Your mom will be your sister not your mother anymore. Also that way we won't know the ones that went to hell. That would bother people if their mother didn't make it. I think animals will be in one of the heavens.
