Hi stardust: Dogs don't go
Posted on: 05/12/2009 13:42
Hi stardust:
Dogs don't go to heaven, they are in heaven.
Unlike most people, who think they are not.
Lucky dogs, eh?

Greeings!
Too cute!!!
Before my little doggie of 14 years was deceased I was one of those that tooted the "animals don't have souls so they don't go to heaven" spiel. Then . . . my little doggie died . . . I remember saying to my family on the way back to our house after our doggie burial that "perhaps doggies do have souls and do go to heaven." A lot of what we believe (despite the Presbyterian churches admonishment to "read the Bible") is based on our own understanding and experience, including how we read and interpret the Bible and other ways we come into an understanding of God, heaven, and the after life.
Hope, peace, joy, love ...

In the end, as St. Francis's Rev. Lingle pointed out to the WSJ (while inspecting the altar for drool), perhaps the only thing that matters is an animal's table manners. After all, in Judges 7:5, the Lord says unto Gideon, whose soldiers are drinking from a stream, that He will only preserve the lives of "every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dog lappeth."

IS your pet dog merely a collection of cells biologically disposed to survival? Or does he have a spiritual nature?
More importantly, do all animals, or some animals, have eternal souls and will they somehow survive after death?
Those questions have vexed philosophers and theologians for centuries.
A character in the film Steel Magnolias asserted the great difference between humans and animals was ``our ability to accessorise’’.
C.S. Lewis, Francis of Assissi and Billy Graham have all said animals would be in the afterlife because they were an integral part of our lives on this planet.
Martin Luther apparently said when his pet died: ``Be thou comforted little dog. Thou, too, in resurrection, shall have a little golden tail’’.
Judaism defines soul as the breath of life and says all living beings have it, but the relationship of an animals soul differs from a human’s, which returns to God at death.
Islam states that animals have spirits, but not eternal souls. Hindus believe all things have a soul.
Christianity has traditionally taught that an eternal soul is limited to humans, although there have been teachers as diverse as Francis of Assisi and Billy Graham who believe animals exist in the afterlife.
Early animal rights advocates in England were often Christians who also worried about the treatment of children and working conditions of the poor.
Then comes the news that almost nine out of 10 Americans (who else?) believe their pet dogs and cats would go to heaven with them. But their thoughts about the afterlife prospects of goldfish, hamsters and birds are not so clear.
Though this church isn’t the first to allow dogs – it’s actually quite common in urban churches – it may be one of the only to openly encourage people to bring their dogs.

But this is a forgiving audience.
It is full of dog lovers, mostly, who gather every Thursday to worship at Underwood Hills Presbyterian Church.

Trust the Presbyterians
Posted on: 05/12/2009 17:21
Trust the Presbyterians (which includes me) to get it wrong!
I'm siding with the Catholic signs on this one. And yes Arminius is correct - the animals and the rocks are already in heaven.

Sorry about the huge mess on

Sorry about the huge mess on my last post.
I have a big problem on the WC to do with Exp.6. I can't even get on this thread on my own computer. A message comes up saying : Internet Explorer needs to close and it does! It happens more often when I start topics. I corrected it but Norton Security freaks out at me, to do with phishing.
I'm using my grandson's laptop and for some reason the edit button isn't showing up at the bottom of my post. I can't edit the unwanted entries; maybe I'll have luck later. The print on the laptop must surely be a size 0.....lol. I can hardly see a thing.
Sorry again......

In my opinion dogs always go
Posted on: 08/22/2009 01:43
In my opinion dogs always go to heaven and not only dogs every animal will go to heaven at the day of judgement its my faith. If you are a dog owner than its your duty to keep an eye on dog health. This thing makes your dog life longer.

Well, god created dog to give

Well, god created dog to give us an example of ITs unconditional love. That's why "dog" is "god" spelled backwards.
