Will my pets Go to heaven
The Bible does not give any specific teaching on whether pets / animals have “souls” or whether pets / animals will be in heaven.
However, we can take some general Scriptural principles and shed some light on the subject.
The Bible states that both man (Genesis 2:7) and animals (Genesis 1:30; 6:17; 7:15,22) have the breath of life. The primary difference between human beings and animals is that man is made in the image and likeness of God (Genesis 1:26-27).
Animals are not made in the image and likeness of God. Being made in the image and likeness of God means that human being are like God,capable of spirituality, with mind, emotion, and will - and - have an aspect of being that continues after death.
If pets / animals do have a “soul” or immaterial aspect, it must therefore be of a different and lesser "quality."
Another factor to consider in this question is that God did create animals as a part of His creative process in Genesis.
God created the animals and said they were good (Genesis 1:25). Therefore, there is no reason why there could not be animalsin heaven
Isaiah 11:6 The wolf will live with the lamb,
the leopard will lie down with the goat,
the calf and the lion and the yearling together;
and a little child will lead them.
Isaiah 65:25 The wolf and the lamb will feed together,
and the lion will eat straw like the ox,
but dust will be the serpent’s food.
They will neither harm nor destroy
on all my holy mountain,”
says the Lord
Many animals morn their dead ..They often crave love. They would not understand love if they had no soul.
anything as capable of unconditional love as animals give us humans .. the comfort they provide to us
they certainly have a place in heaven. If they recognize Jesus they do most certainly have a soul for its not flesh that recognizes the savior but spirit
Rev. 5:8-13 all creatures recognize Jesus as the Savior of the world and praise God right along with redeemed men.
In Psalm Psalm 145:-9-10,13,15-21 God loves all His creation and has made plans for all His children and the lesser creatures to enjoy His eternal Kingdom.
