Will there be any memories of this life in the new life to come?

What value will a stupid cat have in eternity?

If anything, God will give us new pets that will never leave us heartbroken-- pets that know how to praise God.

However I find no scripture for this, just wishful thinking from a guy who misses his own dead dog. He's probably in some body's flower bed now!

I'm over it.
You all should get over it too!

Not any that cause "pain" - Revelation 21:4

None for a "stupid cat!" But a good dog? And a lion and a lamb - at least one of each... and a wolf and a lamb and a leopard and a kid goat. And every beast of the field. Hosea 2:18 and others.

I dunno. maybe "praise" by their peaceful demeanors?

Isaiah 11:6; Isaiah 65:25; Ezekiel 34:25; Hosea 2:18.

I'm not a big animal guy - but life touches life. It's not the same as making important human connections, and it's certainly nothing that can be equated to making contact with eternal life. But still, it's a part of God's creation that intersects with our lives. It has its significance.

No problem. We'll probably be in different sections, anyway.

What's the point in deciding that they won't be there? . I have no way of knowing for sure, so I'll just go along my merry way...

Didn't Elijah get carried away by a fiery chariot?



Hey look, heavenly horses! LOL

ooooOOOOOoooo

I just thought of a theological argument for animals going to heaven. If Elijah's chariot was driven by heavenly horses, Jesus comes back on a white horse, and the saints come riding back on white horses...

Where did these horses come from? Biblically speaking the only place that their creation is mentioned is here on earth. Nowhere do we read of a horse or animal being created in heaven. Therefore logic would demand that these horses were born on earth, perished, and went to heaven. To prove me wrong you'll have to provide a biblical proof showing that these animals were made in heaven.

Thoughts?

House cats go to hell...I'm pretty sure about that.
