I think the animals in heaven were probably born or made there. Animals could have spirit of a kind but not an imortal soul like humans.

John 10:16 I have other sheep that are not of this fold.

I know what it means but it doesn't have to be done with full immersion. The Holy land has a very arid climate and we usually assume that it did 2,000 years ago as well.

Being tempted doesn't mean you've sinned, only giving in to temptation.

Here's a useful link that explains things http://www.catholic.com/library/Praying_to_the_Saints.asp

Nowhere in scripture does it say you ahve to follow scripture blindly but people do it. Nowhere ins cripture does it say that communion is symbolic but Evangelicals believe that. Nowhere inscripture does it say Baptisms have to be done by full emersion but many Evangelicals believe it. The...

Catholics don't pray to saints, they pray through saints because saints are already part of the Church Triumphant and therefore closer to God than we are here on Earth. All they do is ask the saint to pray for them and their prayers have more power than ours. Saints are jsut brothers and...

Animals don't have souls, so they don't go to Heaven or Hell, they just die and that's that. That's what I've been taught but I've heard people say that since animals didn't disobey God like Adam and Eve they don't need saving. They suffer deatha nd disease like humans because they are part of...

That's actually my point but the thread was titled in misleading way and I assumed that it was saying there are only 144,000 places in Heaven. I know there are people who believe only 144,00 people go to heaven and the ret go to hell.

if there was only room in heaven for 144,000 then the quota would have been filled years ago and we wouldn't have a chance at salvation. There are probably more peopelw tih St in front of their names than 144,000. So no, they are the first to be resurrected, the other dead are judged later.

Who said anything about political corerectness. I don't like it either but I don't think it comes from Hell, just stupid people because people have free will and not everything in a person's head has to either come from God or Satan because we can think for ourselves. You are free to demonise...

Those verses are totally irrelevant. People take promises for lots of things and it doesn't offend God. Your seeing what isn't there because there is no offense to God but intolerance is a sin against the Holy Spirit.

Well I'm being serious when I say Freemasonry is not a cult, not satanic, not a religion and not a secret society. It is a fraternal and secular organisation that does its best for the community. it does not teach many paths to God, but it is inclusive towards members of all faiths as are...

I've explained this earlier in the thread so I shouldn't have to re=iterate it but Freemasonry requires a belief in a supreme being because it is recconed the basis for sound judgement and srict morals because someone who has a faith already ahs a moral guide. Freemasonry doesn't atempt to...

Freemasonry is a secular organisation. This is not for debate it is fact Freemasonry is secular, so why should it have anything tosay about Jesus. Masons don't really ahve a plan for salvation, they just believe that a person should follow their own religion. Freemasons are mostly people like...

don't confuse the royalty tody with the royalty in the Bible or say in the Middle Ages because although there are still some with constitutional power, most modern monarchs are figureheads. i'm glad that we (Britain) still has a monarchy and I'm proud we have Parliamentary democracy. It would...

Hang on a minute. When Eve gave the fruit to Adam, hadn't she already eaten some herself, so she must have known what she was doing

It does make sense doesn't i. You only ahve to look at the heroes of Greek mythology who are suppsoed to Demigods, like Perseus and Hercules (Heracles). The book of Enoch tells us a lot about the Nephillim and how they taught mankind how to make weapons and use magic. Definately you hit the...

Columba was a Saint. He introduced Chrisitanity to the Scotts and founded an Abby at Iona.

It is intriguing! I like the idea of a First age where all the dinosaurs, manlike apes and other prehistoric creatures could have lived. It could have lasted millions of years and then been wiped out 6,00 years ago. The only problem is that in genesis we are told that "the earth was without...
