Nah, that was Joan of Arc...
If pets are with their masters in Heaven, what becomes of the pet that had more than one family during its life? Let’s say Fido was raised by a loving family but they moved away and the owners couldn’t take him with them so they gave him away to another family that loved the dog just as much and then that family was killed in a tragic accident so the dog was adopted by still another family that loved the dog until it passed away.
If all the families were Christians and the dog was there in Heaven, which one would get to keep the dog??
What if the dog was treated better by a bunch of heathens than it was by any of the Christian owners? Who tells the dog “sorry, you don’t get to live with your favorite family?”
See how absurd this all gets?
I don’t doubt that if God wants animals to be in Heaven, he’ll provide them. And if they are given to us, we will love them and treat them well. But we’re going to have to accept that some things we loved on earth won’t be there - including spouses or family members.
And you know what? We won’t care because the treasures we will have there will make us quickly forget any treasures we had to leave behind. That’s why I think it’s a bit silly to debate what we will be able to take with us in the next life. We should put no idols before God and if you love something on Earth more than you love God, you should re-examine your priorities.
I thought the PHOENIX & TIGER dish was over rated.
And the cat was none too happy tied up with a wire before the festivities, either!
