again you’ve missed my point. Animals do experience some emotion and attachment. That I’ve never denied, but what happens after their instincts kick in is they have no more memory of that individual. They do not continue to remember that other animal, they do not years later recall fond memories or even remeber the day when the loss occurred that’s all human and one clear thing you’ve missed in what I said is that mankind understands that life has purpose and meaning and seeks that (His Creator). Animals do not do this and that’s a fact. They also do not have nor exhibit the ability to advance,to design, develop or do any other thing that distinguishes us from them. And no by my standard they do not have spirits as well, if they did they too would be made in GOD’s image and likeness and the Bible makes it clear that only one of God’s creations is and that’s mankind. To even suggest that is to place animals on equal footing with mankind and there is no such precedent in the Bible. Man was given dominion over the earth and all that’s on it and to say that an animal also has the capacity to commune with GOD (spirit, soul, & body) is to say that an animal has the capacity to sin (rebel against it’s Creator). Animals don’t sin and are neither held accountable for such.Although they and all creation has been affected by man’s rebellion (sin) animals do what God has placed within them to do instinctually. They are not made in GOD’s image and likeness and are not tripartate in nature.
Have fun with that, but I ain't playing.
How do you know? Are you a dog psychic or something?
