Will We Be Able To See Our Pets In Heaven

We asked six christian ministers in the columbia s c.

Will we be able to see our pets in heaven. I ve had the pleasure of caring for many pets throughout my life and i am grief stricken. It s not that your pet has died and gone to heaven. We encourage you to read isaiah 11 6 9 to see a beautiful picture of what heaven will be like. Upon examining the scriptures we just don t have biblical support to say this with certainty whether or not our pets will be in heaven however it does appear that animals will exist in the kingdom of heaven isaiah 11 6 9.

That said while we might be the only creatures able to unite with the divine in heaven that does not mean that animals will not be present there too. Everything of your pet s character is recorded in your mind and heart and also in the mind and heart of god. They ll even be vegetarians. I know how hard it is to lose a pet.

Paradise is open to all of god s creatures said the 77 year old pontiff according to italian news sources. Your pet is not gone forever. Several ministers responded no but others were willing to grant the possibility though all admitted that there is no clearly right answer. It just means that they will not be united with god in quite the same way that we are.

There is no question that animals will be in heaven. All agreed that the answer to this question lies in how one interprets the scriptures. You ll see that in paradise every animal could potentially be a pet because none of them will be wild and they will not be afraid of people. If our pets will be resurrected or not we just cannot say for sure.

So there very well may be dogs and cats and other animals in heaven. In this book you will learn that animals are innocent and are not in need of salvation and that it was never our heavenly father desire that we or his animals would suffer death. It s that you hold your pet in your heart with strong feelings of love and companionship. Area if they believe we will see our pets in heaven.

The pets that we had to say goodbye to are alive in heaven right now in their spiritual bodies and we will see them again if we accept jesus as our savior. However just as many other christians do not believe that any of our pets will be crossing over to be with us.
