Question about our pets (Mormons, prophets, atheist, priests)

[reed067]

First of all let me say I'm sorry for your loss I am a huge animal lover myself. Bibically I don't think that the bible mentions anything about animals have a soul. The anwser I got when I was young was to make sure that I go to heaven myself.


Ecclesiastes 3:18-21 states


I also thought, “As for men, God tests them so that they may see that they are like the animals. 19 Man’s fate is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath ; man has no advantage over the animal. Everything is meaningless. 20 All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return. 21 Who knows if the spirit of man rises upward and if the spirit of the animal goes down into the earth?”

Im not religious, i dont go to church but i DO believe in God.
One thing i know for sure is that the day i die i want to go where all my pets are.
Thanks for reading.

sorry, I have to say animals soul would destroy ofter death as those had not been a being ever, but I suppose if you are a believer , go to heaven and ask god does revive it and join you it is possible, because heaven is a place that you can wish what you love.

when I was a child I had a rooster. when I bought it at first , it was a shaggy chick. It grew up in my hand about 4 years old. it was very lovely when it was in the courtyard and I was in the upstairs I called it : Hey , Anchar come here, it heard my voice and came up from stairs and came to me in the up room but unfortunately it became sick and after a weak dead I cried for it very much and grave it under a orange tree in our house garden and every day went there and spook to it for a while ....

When you are born again into the kingdom of God and have repented of sin and have received Lord Jesus Spirit into your life then; the authority of Christ will be in your spirit and the Father God will hear your prayer .... Where this anointed believers of Jesus can clean a pet with Jesus blood prayers before they pass away and command that the pet is collected with the blood of Lord Jesus on your spirit believe you received ....Then the pet will be cleaned and collected were it will be a better place and the Lord will have it, with His life, and it will be happy ..... This come from the lead of Jesus Holy Spirit `; Clean by Jesus blood prayers before It passes on from this world to be collected to life........

Good heads up June7.....sorry to hear about the loss of a nice pet ....I would like to say that all animals will fully know who blessed them before munching down and who did not. IOW...there could be trouble.

Our pets are truly our best friends..They love us unconditionally, they welcome us home with gladness when we are gone, they provide companionship when we have no person to share with, they protect us and the things we own, they would give their lives to keep us from any harm they sense in a stranger..They never expect more from us than we are able to give..

I believe that often times God sends us a pet for all the above reasons..and to teach us lessons of love and devotion.

When our pets die,the loss is painful because a piece of our heart is ripped away and it takes time to heal..But it will as all wounds eventually close up but there is a scar left to remind us of lessons learned..

As far as an animal heaven? We can only hope and speculate because Jesus only said He was going to prepare a place for us and that our minds could not perceive what will be waiting for us..But we do know that there will be no more tears or pain there, so perhaps the things of this life will not be remembered..In this life, painful as it is at times, our pets serve a good reason..so be blessed for the love and devotion your pet gave you.

I had a GS for nearly 15 years who was my constant companion who looked after my grandkids when they played ,who brought 2 of them home when they were lost on the mountain, who laid at the front of my desk as I taught a classroom full of men mine safety, and who protected our home all through the night as he "patrolled" the property boundaries and house entrances..

Pasquanel (bubby) taught me the value of a loyal friend

I can't answer as to whether or not there is a special place for animals. I hope so.

Last night, my son had to have his beloved puppy Remington euthanized. Watching him on his knees crying at the grave broke my heart.

We love our pets, they're family as far as we're concerned.

If there is a higher power in this universe, I hope there is a heaven for innocent animals.

Sorry for your loss Sweetie. As long as you have a place in your heart, your pet will be with you.

Jesus' body wasn't meant to be Bread & Wine either.
But covenants of life, are for living.

The bible doesn’t show when one dies, they move on to something else, man taught that one! Except if one has that Heavenly callin, and only a certain amount has that ,(Rev.7:4). Also there’s a reason why many will go to Heaven,
(Rev.5:10).

Many would rather believe their love ones, be-it people or pets. Are in a better place/still living on. They’re not though, they’re in the grave.
many will say, their bodies are in the grace, (I know this). And I understand, many are taught to believe the soul which ”leaves the body” are floating around, or in some other place, no. the “SOUL” IS.. A living being, not the ghost of the dead ,(1Cor.15:45 -And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul).

Your dog isn’t anywhere that’s harmful, he doesn’t even know he’s gone,(Ecles.9:10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest). And (Psalm 146:4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish).
The key word is “KNOWLEDGE” IF the dead could still remember they have love ones left behind. And knowledge comes from learning. The ghost of the dead would still have that, in order to remember us.

I know many will say what they believe, or what they feel you need to hear because of pity. Again I feel your pain, but our animals don’t. they don’t feel anything, they’re not anywhere missing us. So though we might miss our animals, just know they’re not anywhere unhappy because we’re not around. Again they don’t even know they’re gone. peace

The elders of my Nation say that there are animals in the afterlife as everything has a spirit, so I don't see why pets would not be there...if they are right of course.
