There must be animals in Heaven.
Think about it a minute, if Jesus is coming back on a horse.....
Where is He going to get it from?
From all the discussions that we've seen over the years about this, I think most everyone believes there are animals in heaven. After all, the Bible says that the lion will lie down with the lamb.
The part no one can be sure about (as there doesn't seem to be direct Biblical evidence,) is whether or not the SAME animals that are on earth will also be in heaven, or if it will be all newly created animals.
In other words, will it still be your same beloved Fluffy in heaven as you had on earth, or will God create an entirely new pet for you to love in the afterlife?
This then brings up the question of whether or not animals have souls like humans that can go to heaven, and if so, to what extent would it go?
Is the same mosquito that gave you a stinging welt on your arm going to heaven after it was subsequently squashed?
And will it be there to greet you once again when you get there?
