Do Dogs Go To Heaven?

[@Nyeupe-Nguvu]

​@@Newleaf09 According to Moses and the Hebrew language, there are 3 spirits in humans. They are: 1. Nephesh -- it's the breath of Life given to all living creatures, and is what returns to YHWH upon muerte. It's what animated Adam to make him a living being. 2. Ruach -- the spirit of YHWH we call the "Holy Spirit." It makes us aware of morality and "doing good." 3. Neshama -- it's what compels us to learn more about YHWH through a desire to know "What's out there?" *_THIS_* is what sets humans apart from animals. When the angel Gabr-iel ("mighty strength") told Mary (actually, "Miriam") about Messiah, he said: _"Ruach Ha'Kodesh (literally, the Holy Breath) will come over you, and Ha'Elyon (the Strongest) will cover you."_ Ruach created both Adam _And_ Messiah's human form. All this is to say that while your pet dog may not have the spirit of Neshama, it _Definitely_ has Nephesh and very probably Ruach since dogs *_DO_* understand when they've done a "good thing" or a "bad thing." That's why animals can be trained. Since Nephesh returns to YHWH, and since Ruach *_IS_* Elohim, the specific breath of life your dog has/had will always be with YHWH. I don't see why YHWH would refuse to give your favorite pet a resurrected body, just as He will do for His servants.

@Charles Pieters If I may, in the point that you were trying to make, your point that you have commented, is false doctrine. You are not rightly dividing the word of truth found in 2 Timothy 2:15 KJB. I am not preaching doctrines of devils, I am preaching SOUND DOCTRINE for the hearer to adhere to it and get saved. So please get saved NOW, before it's too late for your soul. Grace and Peace!! If you don't preach this 👇 you are in a cult and you are preaching doctrines of devils!!!! How to get a lost soul saved from hell. Please read and get saved NOW!! Signs, wonders, miracles, visions, water baptism, laying on hands, speaking in tongues, etc.., were for the Jews, the Dispensation of Times Past and Times to come (that's the Tribulation period). Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are NOT the Gospel for us to get saved in the dispensation of Grace. Why? It's simple, apostle Paul makes it VERY CLEAR that Gal_1:8 KJB - But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. Gal_1:9 KJB - As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. We are in the Dispensation of Grace and Paul is our apostle to the Church (Believers in the Body of Christ). Dispensation of Times to Come, is not that far away, it will come right after the Church is raptured (caught up). Right after the Church Age ends, it will be the Times of Jacob's Trouble (tribulation period will take place right after). Please know your Doctrines, rightly dividing the word of truth, so you can have SOUND DOCTRINE. 2 Timothy 2:15 KJB If anyone is reading this message, please read 'till the end and I pray that you will get washed and saved in the precious blood of the Lamb, who is our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Ephesians 5:16 KJB - 16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. We are in the end times, what's happening in the world right now is just a preview before the tribulation will take place right after the rapture of the Church (all Believers who are in Christ Jesus, saved in the Gospel of our Salvation in 1 Corinthians 15: 1-4 KJB) What's going to happen during the tribulation time, will be hell on earth. So please everyone, get saved NOW before it's too late for your souls (those who are lost and continue to sin, even when they know the truth). God's wrath is upon you, sinners in the hands of an angry God. How can a lost soul get saved? Here's how you can get saved by BELIEVING The Gospel of our Salvation in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJB - [1] Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; [2] By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. [3] For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; [4] And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: Jesus Christ gave this Gospel to Paul who is our apostle to the dispensation of the Church Age of Grace, so that lost souls can get saved. It's the ONLY Gospel that saves lost souls!! Ephesians 2:8-9 KJB - 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. 2 Timothy 2:15 KJB - Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

[@alexshatner3907]

There is no mention in the Bible of a pet heaven or dog heaven-and for good reason. Animals cannot take the steps needed to qualify for “the heavenly calling.” (Hebrews 3:1) These steps include taking in knowledge, exercising faith, and obeying God’s commands. (Matthew 19:17; John 3:16; 17:3) Only humans were created with the prospect of living forever.-Genesis 2:16, 17; 3:22, 23. To go to heaven, earthly creatures must be resurrected. (1 Corinthians 15:42) The Bible mentions a number of resurrections. (1 Kings 17:17-24; 2 Kings 4:32-37; 13:20, 21; Luke 7:11-15; 8:41, 42, 49-56; John 11:38-44; Acts 9:36-42; 20:7-12) However, every one of them involved humans, not animals. Do animals have souls? No. The Bible says that both animals and humans are souls. (Numbers 31:28) When the first man, Adam, was created, he was not given a soul but “became a living soul.” (Genesis 2:7, footnote) A soul is composed of two things: the “dust from the ground” and “the breath of life.” Can souls die? Yes, the Bible teaches that souls can die. (Leviticus 21:11, footnote; Ezekiel 18:20) At death, animals and humans return to the dust of the earth. (Ecclesiastes 3:19, 20) In other words, they cease to exist. Do animals sin? No. To sin means to think, feel, or do something that violates God’s standards. In order to sin, a creature must be able to make moral decisions, but animals lack this ability. They usually act according to instinct during their limited life span. (2 Peter 2:12) At the end of their life span, they die, even though they do not sin. Is animal cruelty acceptable? No. God gave humans authority over the animals but not the right to mistreat them. (Genesis 1:28; Psalm 8:6-8) God cares about the welfare of each animal-including small birds. (Jonah 4:11; Matthew 10:29) He commanded his worshippers to treat animals considerately.-Exodus 23:12; Deuteronomy 25:4; Proverbs 12:10. Bible verses about animals Genesis 1:28: “God blessed [the first humans], and God said to them: ‘Be fruitful and become many, fill the earth and subdue it, and have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and every living creature that is moving on the earth.’” Meaning: God gave humans authority over the animals. Numbers 31:28: “As a tax . . . , you should take from the soldiers who went out into the battle one soul out of every 500, of the people, the herd, the donkeys, and the flock.” Meaning: Both animals and humans are souls. Proverbs 12:10: “The righteous one takes care of his domestic animals.” Meaning: Good people care properly for animals, including their pets. Matthew 10:29: “Two sparrows sell for a coin of small value, do they not? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father’s knowledge.” Meaning: God notices and cares about animals-even small bird

Because I had 2 months off I had been doing those things and taking care of my cat and chickens (he doesn't know about them either) He said that suddenly my house turned into a beautiful mansion and I had animals all around me in a field. God confirmed what he dreamt, now I get it.

@@SalemSerpent Never depend on your feelings. To trust in God is to trust in His word. Read 1 Corinthians 15: 35-58. Every natural body has a spiritual body and each one has their own glory.

John 3:16 KJB is not the gospel that saves lost souls!! Aposltle Paul said in Galatians 1:6 KJB - I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Galatians 1:7 KJB - Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. The ONLY Gospel that SAVES LOST SOULS is the Gospel of our Salvation which is found in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJB. Please preach the gospel that was given to apostle Paul by the revelation of Jesus Christ. If you preach any other gospel 👉Galatians 1:8 KJB - But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 👈 👉Galatians 1:9 KJB - As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. 👈 You are mixing your doctrines and you are not rightly dividing the word of truth, 2 Timothy 2:15 KJB. There are many lost souls that need to hear the TRUE GOSPEL that SAVES LOST SOULS!! Ephesians 1:13 KJB (SAVED and SEALED for eternity) 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJB (the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary saves lost souls when you truly believe in your heart what He did for you). Your good works will not save you, a sinner's prayer will not save you, Matt., Mark, Luke and John will not save you, water baptism will not save you, speaking in tongues will not save you, doctrines of devils who preach heresy, will not save you. Hope that was a clear message. May it edify those who have read it. Grace and Peace to all in Christ Jesus!!

There is no mention in the Bible of a pet heaven or dog heaven-and for good reason. Animals cannot take the steps needed to qualify for “the heavenly calling.” (Hebrews 3:1) These steps include taking in knowledge, exercising faith, and obeying God’s commands. (Matthew 19:17; John 3:16; 17:3) Only humans were created with the prospect of living forever.-Genesis 2:16, 17; 3:22, 23. To go to heaven, earthly creatures must be resurrected. (1 Corinthians 15:42) The Bible mentions a number of resurrections. (1 Kings 17:17-24; 2 Kings 4:32-37; 13:20, 21; Luke 7:11-15; 8:41, 42, 49-56; John 11:38-44; Acts 9:36-42; 20:7-12) However, every one of them involved humans, not animals. Do animals have souls? No. The Bible says that both animals and humans are souls. (Numbers 31:28) When the first man, Adam, was created, he was not given a soul but “became a living soul.” (Genesis 2:7, footnote) A soul is composed of two things: the “dust from the ground” and “the breath of life.” Can souls die? Yes, the Bible teaches that souls can die. (Leviticus 21:11, footnote; Ezekiel 18:20) At death, animals and humans return to the dust of the earth. (Ecclesiastes 3:19, 20) In other words, they cease to exist. Do animals sin? No. To sin means to think, feel, or do something that violates God’s standards. In order to sin, a creature must be able to make moral decisions, but animals lack this ability. They usually act according to instinct during their limited life span. (2 Peter 2:12) At the end of their life span, they die, even though they do not sin. Is animal cruelty acceptable? No. God gave humans authority over the animals but not the right to mistreat them. (Genesis 1:28; Psalm 8:6-8) God cares about the welfare of each animal-including small birds. (Jonah 4:11; Matthew 10:29) He commanded his worshippers to treat animals considerately.-Exodus 23:12; Deuteronomy 25:4; Proverbs 12:10. Bible verses about animals Genesis 1:28: “God blessed [the first humans], and God said to them: ‘Be fruitful and become many, fill the earth and subdue it, and have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and every living creature that is moving on the earth.’” Meaning: God gave humans authority over the animals. Numbers 31:28: “As a tax . . . , you should take from the soldiers who went out into the battle one soul out of every 500, of the people, the herd, the donkeys, and the flock.” Meaning: Both animals and humans are souls. Proverbs 12:10: “The righteous one takes care of his domestic animals.” Meaning: Good people care properly for animals, including their pets. Matthew 10:29: “Two sparrows sell for a coin of small value, do they not? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father’s knowledge.” Meaning: God notices and cares about animals-even small bird

My cat just passed away Christmas eve. I have always been an animal lover. I was raised around 32 dogs because my mother was a professional dog groomer and trainer. She also competed in the akc. This subject has always been a sticking point for me with my faith. So many people have told me that animals do not go to heaven. That our pets do not go to heaven. But sitting here in my bed right now watching this video gives me comfort knowing that my little baby girl Amber is in heaven or will be going to heaven. And it gives me renewed faith in christ.

[@annebalderston2520]

Many, many pastors and ministers have caused deep pain to adults and children by telling them that animals don’t go to Heaven. This is not in the Bible. Animals have souls and spirits just as we do. This is the part that lives on for eternity. God loves His creatures more than we do because we are self-centered people. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Look up Scriptures about animals- pray first and ask God to show you the truth. When you are close to God, you know He would never leave His precious animals out of Heaven.🕊️🐑

@@Barbara-zp8iu That's really different from what your Bible says: Romans 9:17 Scripture says to Pharaoh, I have put you in this position for this very thing: so I can show my power in you and so that my name can be spread through the entire earth. 18 So then, God has mercy on whomever he wants to, but he makes resistant whomever he wants to. 19 So you are going to say to me, “Then why does he still blame people? Who has ever resisted his will?” 20 You are only a human being. Who do you think you are to talk back to God? Does the clay say to the potter, “Why did you make me like this?” 21 Doesn’t the potter have the power over the clay to make one pot for special purposes and another for garbage from the same lump of clay? 22 What if God very patiently puts up with pots made for wrath that were designed for destruction, because he wanted to show his wrath and to make his power known? 23 What if he did this to make the wealth of his glory known toward pots made for mercy, which he prepared in advance for glory? Just like God hardened Pharaoh's heart to show off to Israel in the Old Testament, it seems to say that he purposefully creates pots for the garbage to show off to those created for glory. Again, the Christian god is a narcissistic psychopath. To boot, it's error prone, regretful, endorses slavery, endorses killing for things as small as picking up sticks on the Sabbath, which despite being 1 of the 10 commandments, I'm sure you don't keep. In short, it's crazy as hell.

[@alexshatner3907]

There is no mention in the Bible of a pet heaven or dog heaven-and for good reason. Animals cannot take the steps needed to qualify for “the heavenly calling.” (Hebrews 3:1) These steps include taking in knowledge, exercising faith, and obeying God’s commands. (Matthew 19:17; John 3:16; 17:3) Only humans were created with the prospect of living forever.-Genesis 2:16, 17; 3:22, 23. To go to heaven, earthly creatures must be resurrected. (1 Corinthians 15:42) The Bible mentions a number of resurrections. (1 Kings 17:17-24; 2 Kings 4:32-37; 13:20, 21; Luke 7:11-15; 8:41, 42, 49-56; John 11:38-44; Acts 9:36-42; 20:7-12) However, every one of them involved humans, not animals. Do animals have souls? No. The Bible says that both animals and humans are souls. (Numbers 31:28) When the first man, Adam, was created, he was not given a soul but “became a living soul.” (Genesis 2:7, footnote) A soul is composed of two things: the “dust from the ground” and “the breath of life.” Can souls die? Yes, the Bible teaches that souls can die. (Leviticus 21:11, footnote; Ezekiel 18:20) At death, animals and humans return to the dust of the earth. (Ecclesiastes 3:19, 20) In other words, they cease to exist. Do animals sin? No. To sin means to think, feel, or do something that violates God’s standards. In order to sin, a creature must be able to make moral decisions, but animals lack this ability. They usually act according to instinct during their limited life span. (2 Peter 2:12) At the end of their life span, they die, even though they do not sin. Is animal cruelty acceptable? No. God gave humans authority over the animals but not the right to mistreat them. (Genesis 1:28; Psalm 8:6-8) God cares about the welfare of each animal-including small birds. (Jonah 4:11; Matthew 10:29) He commanded his worshippers to treat animals considerately.-Exodus 23:12; Deuteronomy 25:4; Proverbs 12:10. Bible verses about animals Genesis 1:28: “God blessed [the first humans], and God said to them: ‘Be fruitful and become many, fill the earth and subdue it, and have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and every living creature that is moving on the earth.’” Meaning: God gave humans authority over the animals. Numbers 31:28: “As a tax . . . , you should take from the soldiers who went out into the battle one soul out of every 500, of the people, the herd, the donkeys, and the flock.” Meaning: Both animals and humans are souls. Proverbs 12:10: “The righteous one takes care of his domestic animals.” Meaning: Good people care properly for animals, including their pets. Matthew 10:29: “Two sparrows sell for a coin of small value, do they not? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father’s knowledge.” Meaning: God notices and cares about animals-even small bird

Surely the fate of human beings is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other.

If you go to heaven when you die, Noah, you will do so in a disembodied state. You will leave your body behind. Thus, you will not be able to "walk" through the gates because you won't have any legs.

He once spoke to his tribe before his death saying when we are born, the world celebrates as we cry. When we die, it's our time to celebrate as the world cries.

I remember quite some time ago, my cousin had a horrible accident in which her entire scalp was ripped off. They were able to save her life and grow new skin, but she would never again have hair and she had long, beautiful hair! She called me one night to ask if I thought she would have hair again in Heaven. I told her that I was certain she would since all things would be restored to perfection with Christ for us believers. Now, our little family dog is dying and I am reminded of that incident so long ago and the question keeps coming up whether we will see him again in Heaven and since he is one of our family, it seems impossible that God would just destroy this incredible source of joy rather than restore this life that gave so much love! God could just tell my cousin in Heaven that hair doesn't really matter - but I know He won't! And I don't believe that He will tell us that that wonderful little source of unconditional love doesn't matter either. I do believe that He will restore His Creation, including our pets!
