Just lost my good little girl a few weeks ago. I can’t read this.
My priest has got to be wrong. I can’t believe that God would make these creatures, filled with His love and joy, and then they die and—nothing.
I’m so sorry for the loss of your precious pets. And in the case of freekitty, the potential loss of her pet. It is always hard.
The bible has tons of passages speaking of the new Heaven and new Earth and animals will be there.
God would not take from us our innocent pets.
Open your Bible, turn to Romans 8:19 and ponder those passages.
Then turn to II Corinthians 15:44 and ponder those.
I’m sorry, beginning at II Corinthians 15:36.
I firmly believe that there is a special place in heaven for our four legged friends and that we will meet them there someday.
Dogs & Cats are a part of us, and tied to us... God looks after our companions with whom we have built a bond. Some say that what we say is what we would like it to be, and Heaven is reserved for humans. They are the ones who put limits on God. I too have had a situation where clergy say that animals are soulless and go to oblivion after they die. I can only feel sorry for someone who believes that.
