There was a donkey I believe in the inspired word.

Short commentary.

In 2 Samuel 12:3, we read about a man with a pet lamb. Proverbs 12:10 says, “The righteous care for the needs of their animals.”In addition to companionship, animals teach so many life lessons – responsibility in caring for them, the difference between male and female, etc. God loves animals.

God loves animals. We see it in the covenant in Genesis 9. We see it when He didn't want to destroy Ninevah because of all the people and animals (Jonah 4:11).

Jonah 4:11 says:

“"And should I not pity Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred and twenty thousand persons who cannot discern between their right hand and their left — and much livestock?"” (Jon 4:11 NKJV)

Nowhere do we read that God loves animals or that animals will go to heaven.

Nowhere do we read that God loves animals or that animals will go to heaven.
Nowhere do we read that God hates animals and nowhere in the inspired word does it mention animals in heaven.

So..who knows....my heart believes one day that I will meet all of my deceased pets in Gods Kingdom ..In Jesus Name...Amen!

Just because they aren’t in the inspired word, doesn’t mean that deceased pets aren’t in heaven...you are limiting God to the Bible.

His Living word can’t be contained....does the Bible birth our spirit...absolutely not...

What did Billy Graham say about animals going to heaven?
Billy Graham “God will prepare everything for our perfect happiness in heaven, and if it takes my dog being there, I believe he'll be there.

Dead people can.

Luke 16:22-28 The rich man died and was buried. 23 And being in torments in Hell, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 Then he cried and said, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.' 25 But Abraham said, 'Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are tormented. 26 And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us.'27 Then he said, 'I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father's house, 28 for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment.'

'Death' NEVER means 'cease to exist' in the Bible!
Mathew 10:
[28] And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

I don't know who Steve Brown is, or what he believes, but my post asked where in the bible are we told that the departed souls of animals will be in heaven?
Where does it say we go to Heaven? Heaven comes down to us.

21 Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth”, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” 5 He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” - Revelation 21:1-5​

And does the New Earth have animals?

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.​
7 The cow will feed with the bear,​
their young will lie down together,​
and the lion will eat straw like the ox.​
8 The infant will play near the cobra’s den,​
and the young child will put its hand into the viper’s nest.​
9 They will neither harm nor destroy​
on all my holy mountain,​
for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Lord​
as the waters cover the sea.​
- Isaiah 11:6-9​
And if the World to Come has wolves and lions, I see no reason why it wouldn't have dogs and cats.

Hello Jack....can you show me in scripture, where God said that Adam and Eve “ died”? the day they sinned...I’m not looking for an argument....just scripture that says that they “ died”.
God CANNOT be wrong! NEVER!

Genesis 2:17
17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.

Can you also explain what you mean by them “ dying “ when they sinned. but were still very much Alive?.......that makes no sense to me, Jack.....I’m sure you can explain it though......many thanks....
Ephesians 2:1
1 And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins,

It’s because of the blood of Jesus that we can become “ Born Of The Spirit “.
All Christians were DEAD before salvation. This world is filled with walking DEAD. The day Adam sinned he died.

Adam died...in what way did he die?...


We must be “ Born Again “ to see the Kingdom Of God.


Show me in scripture please, where the inspired word say...

All Christians were DEAD before salvation. This world is filled with walking DEAD.i hope you haven’t been watching that programme on tv called the walking dead, Jack..LOL. The day Adam sinned he died.

What does walking dead mean?..is that even biblical?


All Christians we’re dead...if they were dead, A ..they wouldn’t be walking or talking, I’m just trying to get a decent discussion ..that is all..

Please explain what you post means....

Hint: It wasn't physically.
We must be “ Born Again “ to see the Kingdom Of God.
Which means we were DEAD.

Ephesians 2:1

Mt 7 Narrow is the way to LIFE and FEW there be who find it.

You still haven’t given me that scripture that I asked for.
Ephesians 2:1
1 And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins,


Mt 7 Narrow is the way to LIFE and FEW there be who find it.
We find life, when our spirit becomes Born Again...as then we come Alive in the Spirit Of Christ.
1 Timothy 5:6
6 But she who lives in pleasure is dead while she lives.
This is just a verse of scripture out of context?

Which means what?
I repeat:
Ephesians 2:1
1 And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins,
We are made Alive in our spirit...when it becomes Born Again....Spirit gives birth to spirit?

Couldn't be any clearer!

Luke 15:24
24 for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.'
We find life, when our spirit becomes Born Again...as then we come Alive in the Spirit Of Christ.

You quote Scriptures 'out of context' all the time.
Which means what?
It means what it say. The unsaved are DEAD even while they live.
