What a sad universe to live in when animals are kept out of heaven. You JWs

My question to God would be why do animals have to suffer when it was man who messed things up? h54, read up or watch a few youtube videos on people who met their pets in heaven after a NDE. I can't imagine some people think God just lets animals live briefly, suffer, then die , for good?

Animals didn't write the Scriptures of man who exalts himself.

Why animals suffer is a question I’ve thought about also.

God doesn’t really address the question whether animals will be in heaven. From a human standpoint, we want so much for them to be. None of us can say for sure what heaven will be like, other than what we are told in Scripture, no tears, no sadness. We must trust that whatever this place that God has promised us, it will be better than anything we could ever imagine. More important than will there be animals in heaven is the question, “Will you/me be in heaven?”

Nothing you hold or have held in love will be withheld from you.

Like you said, we don't have the "big picture".
I agree

I already know the answer to my question, the same reason we suffer. It's all part of a perfect plan.

Well, it is going to be a new Earth, which mean animals. God created animals so he obviously loves them like we do. What would the new Earth be without them?

Oh, I agree it probably is. But then you have the whole can of worms upended. What is myth, and what is not....

I would ask God how he was able to create everything from nothing, especially being that he's just a spirit.
