Christians -- Do You Believe...?

read about noah,after he left the ark,God said all is given for man to eat(animals) not humans,they were made by the hand of God,animals were spoken into being.

you must understand what a soul is

its a body indwelt by a spirit - the breath of God as scripture puts it

Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

soul = body + spirit

now then, like man, animals are living souls because they have a body and a spirit which is the spark of life

but an animal's soul is vastly different from a human soul as animals cannot know and relate to God

God made man alone in his very own image

The Bible is silent on this. We know animals do not have a spirit, as a spirit can only be imbued to a physical being through the breath of God Himself. And we know animals are not made in God's image as we are. But a soul is a bit different from a spirit. Whether animals have them or not, I don't know.

The Bible does not address your question. But it's established that many animals have personalities (even ants have some measure!), and I believe that God loves animals. The closest thing to an example I can think of is when Balaam's donkey was enabled to speak in the Old Testament.

This is often debated. No, animals then would be part to sin. Others ask if animals will be in Heaven. Humans form special bonds with cats, dogs, birds and horses in particular. Jesus returns riding a horse. Bible speaks of the lamb and lion laying down together, these have to be spirit animals. So, I think they will be.

I don't know. I don't think it's in the Bible, but he gave them personalities. I hope my former pets make it to Heaven. I'm cannot imagine God not wanting to grace Heaven with dogs and cats since he saw fit to do so one earth. Why not the same ones we have loved?

I believe no animal has a soul including the human animal.When you is dead you is dead,the end.Should you be able to convince me other wise,bring it on.I think i remember that saying from some stupid President,the name escapes me.

He made man in His image

not animals

no soul.......except soul food

Yea

No....the book of Genesis says that man has dominion over animals
