Why would you imagine it advisable to preach the Gospel to animals?

1. Because we are asked to "preach the gospel to every creature" (Mark 16:15)
2. Because animals will be changed by the coming of Christ and "the wolf shall dwell with the lamb: and the leopard shall lie down with the kid: the calf and the lion, and the sheep shall abide together" (Isaias 11:6)
3. Because we have charge of them (Genesis 1:28)
4. Because they don't insist on Sola Scriptura, but rather "continue in those things which they hast learned, and which have been committed to them" and they "know of whom they have learned them" (2 Timothy 3:14)

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Regarding the Scripture you offered, what has been "committed to" the animals, and what have the animals "learned" from whom?
