Sorry, but that’s not true. Read the Bible sometime.
There are animals in heaven, more specifically in paradise.
What makes you believe that the author of the Universe, the creator of everything, he who gives life to the dead, and everlasting life to those who love him cannot bring a blessed pet to a person who is in paradise?
Animals don’t have souls to allow them to pass this world into paradise on their own, but the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the Father of all and my personal Lord and Savior has the ability, the compassion, and the everlasting kindness to bring a beloved pet to a person in paradise.
“Animals don’t have souls to allow them to pass this world into paradise on their own”
They probably say the same thing about us...
Keep in mind Christ rose body and blood and we will to. So, it is incorrect to think only our soul will be in heaven.
Therefore, I think it is even more likely real animals will be there considering the Bible’s mention of it.
I don’t know about our specific pets, however.
If you believe dogs don’t have souls then you have never been close to a dog or close to God.
