The examples that you use denoting inanimate objects rejoicing and singing, etc. are anthropomorphisms and are not meant to be taken literally.

So you say. I've provided two, one in passing, regarding the very stones crying out, and one in Chronicles, referring to the body as a seed, comparing the different kinds of natural bodies or "flesh" among His Creation, relating those natural bodies, differing in their glory, to celestial bodies, celestial bodies to heavenly bodies, which also differ in their glory, and then plainly stating that there is a natural body, and a spiritual body.

Again, show me a verse or passage in the Scripture that explicitly says that animals have souls and will be resurrected.

Romans 8:18-24

There is no promise anywhere in Scripture that animals or rocks will be in Heaven.

There's no need of a promise regarding animals, because the Bible plainly states that they're already there. As far as rocks, well, what are gemstones if not rocks, Nosterrex?

The whole creation is awaiting for the time of the sons of God to be revealed, humans are awaiting their adoption, the redemption of our bodies. There is absolutely nothing in Romans 8 that talks about the redemption of animals and plants, and they sure has heck are not waiting to be adopted as sons of God. Again, my friend, you are engaging in eisgesis. You are trying to read into these passages things which just are not there.

It is worth noting that you agree that nowhere in Scripture does it state that animals or rocks have souls and will be resurrected on the last day. You try to appeal to an argument of silence which is the weakest argument of all. It would be like me saying that Jesus had six toes since the Scriptures do not say he had five toes.

If there are not specific and clear verses stating that animals and plants have souls (by the way, this is what the article is about), then all that is left are mere opinions, speculations, and imaginations. I do not know of anyone at any time in the history of the Church that has ever interpreted the verses that you cite as denoting that animals and inanimate objects have souls or will be resurrected.

Only the pagans had such belief in animal spirits and afterlife, such as the cat mummies that you find in Egyptian museums. I can find nowhere in either the Hebrew writings or the new Testament (biblical and extra-biblical) that the church held such beliefs, in fact they ridiculed these pagan mythologies and the worship of cats and dogs.
