Revelation 19:11-16 New King James Version (NKJV)
11 Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. 12 His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He [a]had a name written that no one knew except Himself. 13 He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies in heaven, clothed in [b]fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. 15 Now out of His mouth goes a [c]sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:
Apparently there are horses so might just be a dog or 2 running around.

Well peta and all the antis believe it ,you guys could ask them how dogs can get there. PETA is responsible for sending more dogs to Heaven than any organization I can think of.

No indication anywhere in the Bible that dogs have souls like humans. Doesn't mean there aren't animals in heaven, but Yes Sir is right, think of the implications. That would make killing a raccoon or coyote the equivalent of killing a human.
Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

Heaven promises no more tears and what makes a person happy including worshiping The Lord. I believe animals are included for the happiness part. It is called paradise for a reason.

Keep in mind Heaven will be unlikely anything we know. Joy and happiness beyond our knowledge, in a manner completely different than this fallen earth we live in. Our human understanding is limited to the physical matters... It is my opinion that there will be no physical embodiment, no male/female, no representation of our past physical lives here... We will simply be the essence of what is in our souls. This is a difficult concept to understand as our entire lives revolve around the physical aspect of our existence. The descriptions of alabaster walls, pearly gates, golden streets, crystal seas, etc... are merely ways to help our limited minds comprehend the purity and majesty of a "place" without fault or sorrow. I think somewhere deep in the human psyche we understand the existence of such a place. Humans, for the most part, strive for perfection. We strive to build and create things free of corrosion and fault. But to answer the OP's original question... I don't know if dogs go to heaven. But I believe the love and contentment you felt with that old four-legged friend certainly goes there. Mike

one of the best episodes!!!! I liked the one where the guy thinks he will party all of the time in h### and he ends up with 2 old ladies watching a endless slide show and they are in heaven and he is stuck in h### yet they are both in the same place.

Start attaching souls and human like attributes to animals and see where that leads you. Maybe to be a tree hugger? Animal rights activist ? In some countries they eat them, if that's wrong because they have souls then do cows have souls? Which animals have souls and which don't? X2

I must be blocked by a few. Especially those who are citing the Bible as evidence of no animals in Heaven.....that is, unless horses aren't animals or the Bible contradicts itself.

The biggest difference I see is a animal is loved and able to love more then a animal that survives it whole life and only runs on instinct you would think heaven would be packed with the things that made our lives better in order to be heaven just the thought of that brings me joy so that's MY heaven!

Does not mean it won't be if that tree means a lot to a person you would think, why do we have to give so much to get so little back when it will cost nothing in the end?

Some people think sex, money, drugs and alcohol means alot to them . do you guys really think it will be in heaven. NO. Who said they will get there and who says they won't then depends on their true soul and true deeds, if a guy loves his wife and the do that circus monkey thing 5X a week who am I to judge them?

My unicorn is pretty tough Law Dog, she has glitter and everything lol. If a person is a follower of Christ then imo, they should glean the truth from God's word. I'd like to know where God said Fido will be in heaven lol. I love my pup, but I see nothing that says we will meet again in the here after.

A lot of people get turned off by religion because man wishes things in or out of the bible. Don't you think if Fido was given the green light into heaven it would have been written as so? The argument of " I see nothing that says they won't" is basically saying the holy spirit lied by omission.

God gave us souls when he breathed life into Adam not animals. Are humans not animals also ? Humans are clearly separated from animals in the Bible.

Exactly - ^^ - We are nothing but animals ourselves, we are no different, So if we can't get to heaven unless we been baptized what happened to all the cavemen? Indians? People that were here before the bible? Before babtism ceremony was ever dreamt up? Were they banished to hades (other wasn't allowed!, sorry) What about Hindus, Buddhists? All these other religions?

God made man in his image. Gave us dominion over all creatures. Will there be dogs in Heaven? Dunno bout that but with the amount of glory and being reunited with family and friends, I doubt that I'll give much thought to animals.

I kinda skimmed, but it looks like they left out one part of God's promise to Noah. Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. Agreed. But I find the mention of the "rainbow" covenant with all living things interesting. I believe we have dominion over the animals and that they are here for our use. But I don't think killing animals for the sake of killing is looked kindly upon by God. As far as animals going to heaven... I don't think so. They have innate instinct about how to behave to propagate their species... but they lack the insight to differentiate good from evil. Just my opinion. Mike

I agree Mike. I too find the rainbow covenant interesting. For one it's unconditional and secondly I believe God does love the animals, twofold. First they are his creation, that makes them special to him and second, they are for us. He clearly made everything for us, everything for a reason. I truly don't think we have tapped into all of what the plants and animals resources are. And I don't think God meant it like that Law Dog.

The people in this thread who say their dog will be with them in heaven show the degree to which belief in heaven is based on wistful thinking.
I had a favorite tropical fish that died. I really liked that fish. Will it be with me, in the unlikely event that I make it to heaven?

Sure there will be animals in heaven (Lions laying with lambs and such) and we'll be reunited with our loved ones, but heaven isn't a place where we go hang out with our former buddies and play fetch. We'll be there to worship God, plain and simple. Your spouse might be there, but you wont be married, and probably wont even care. Jesus himself said no one is married or given in marriage in heaven. So when you get to heaven, you wont care if your former dog will be there. You'll be to busy worshipping your creator. Man, that doesn't sound like heaven you're describing. It sounds more like the other place. What could be more awful than to be sentenced to dance and sing Hosannas all day, every day, for the rest of eternity? Makes me wake up in cold sweats just to contemplate the horrible boredom of such a place. That ain't what heaven would be for me. Jim

The people in this thread who say their dog will be with them in heaven show the degree to which belief in heaven is based on wistful thinking.
I had a favorite tropical fish that died. I really liked that fish. Will it be with me, in the unlikely event that I make it to heaven?
Jim Jim, I don't see wistful thinking as much as some believing ANYTHING is possible with God vs God can do anything but He can't do that. Christ went to prepare a place for us. I don't think my cabin porch is going to look as good without a couple dogs living under it. lol

It has absolutely nothing to do with if God can, because there isn't anything he can't do. It is all about what the scripture says, and it doesn't say Fido will go to heaven.
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

I do believe that dogs have souls, not like a human soul, but they have the ability to think, remember, show love, etc. I also know that God put the animals on earth for man's use, nut not abuse. Is there a heaven for dogs? I don't know, but I hope so, my Rusty was the bestand nost loyal friend a man could ever have.

No. A dog can be a little slice of Heaven here on earth through the joy they bring. Heaven is a place only of joy, no dog necessary.

Heaven is, I believe, incomprehensible to us until we get there. When we see God in full glory it will be like NOTHING we can imagine. So those of you that think heaven will b boring or not fun based on what the Bible says it will be like are not giving full credit to the awesomeness of the one that created everything. It will create a joy unlike anything or even close to anything we have experienced on this fallen earth. And the opposite is true of the other option. Happy birthday. The post does sound a little "I know and you don't because I'm holier than you."

"Crediting the Awesomeness of God", can you elaborate on that?
I personally don't think we are going to care but I also don't think anyone is going to ruin their status to be there if they ask, "Where are the dogs?"

Well, considering God's covenant with Noah, I don't think either God or you will even think about dogs lol.

That said, if you wanted to see her as your Grandma Christ could make it happen already knowing the joy it would bring you.

Lets get deeper. What if someone who did you wrong found Christ later in life and is in heaven with you. And if you saw this person it would cause great grief. Is there a chapter and verse on this situation.

As an agnostic I don't necessarily believe or disbelieve organized religions' versions of the afterlife. I am curious about it though.
Do dogs and other non-human, higher-order animals possess enough cognitive capacity to be considered sentient beings? Are they self-aware? Do they possess a soul?
Do all humans possess sentience and consciousness to a degree that they should be considered sentient beings?
Eh...wot?

Is there a chapter and verse on this situation. That one can be found in the Lord's Prayer, "forgive us as we forgive." I don't know that what you stated would keep you out but it certainly would be reconciled before you roamed free to run into that individual if they were there. Mind you this is just a possibility.

look if it is the happy hunting grounds , we are going to need dogs.
now a different question.
do cows go to heaven ?
you see I don't think people want to think about something they eat as an equal or going to heaven , they just want to eat.
but dogs are food also for some.
when I worked on a farm as a kid I had a horse that was as friendly as a dog , he would come right over to me and follow me around , come see what I was working on his name was buddy and he was about 25 years old , had been the owners daughters but she was off to college.
and then Buddy got hit by a drunk driver.
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

What most people aren't considering is that it's not just heaven forever. Heaven comes down to earth and earth is remade into a heavenly place. Most popular conceptions of heaven don't even begin to take this into account. We are talking a real place, not a misty dream on some cloud, strumming a harp.A real place with solid stones and jewels and water and animals, and everything that was good about earth. (well, apparently except for sex) And before someone says they don't want to go where they can't have intimate relations with their wife, consider being able to communicate love on a much deeper level than the physical. And think about what earth could be like with no hate, no fear, no anger, no death, no evil of any kind. All the good and none of the bad.
Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.
