I have talked to my dogs about Jesus and told them He created them...did the same with some of my angora goats on the farm....St Francis is the patron Saint of animals I think. And the catholic church in rural area’s has blessing for farm animals...We are all His Creation..And all He created He said was Good...I wonder if He throws all His creatures away for man..and they are of no concern to Him after death...

[goat granny]

You have a very high opinion of your opinion...let us know your secrets that God tells you about others prayers..

[Jemian]

I see where it can be argued that dogs don't have souls. I don't see that in Scripture either. But I do think dogs, cats and even crocodiles will be in heaven. I base this on Romans 8:19 - 21.

Rom 8:19 For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God.
Rom 8:20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope
Rom 8:21 that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.

You and I will find out when we get there which interpretation, or even another one altogether, is correct.

I suspect many things will be revealed unexpectedly! Maranatha.

I do have a brother - his name is Russell, and I don’t think he’s a Mason ... never been a “joiner.”

“I was swimming with dolphins whispering imaginary numbers in the fourth dimension.”

Can't top that one -- I don't even know where it's from.

So long, and thanks for all the fish!

[Tax-chick]

Mine’s from “Stand and Deliver,” starring Edward James Olmos. (Thud.)

Yours is “Hitch-hikers Guide to the Galaxy.”

Is Prayer a form of worship?

To pray is to ask. If I ask (pray) you to give me a dollar, am I worshiping you?

[OneWingedShark]

Yes, me and my all-mighty dollar. ;)

What a great idea! Brooks could call it "The Act" . . . oy!

"Would you like a beverage with that . . . ?"

There are some great Yiddish movies out there. Heavy on the emotion, heavy on the comedy. Good stuff.

[AnAmericanMother]

LOL!

(shades of "In the Interests of the Brethren").

[Tax-chick]

“You’re not Peter; he’s in prison! Oh, yeah, say you are? What’s your mother’s maiden name? What was your favorite pet as a child?”

[AnAmericanMother]

Now, let’s not bring up his pet rock . . . .

[Tax-chick]

Right ... that rock where Jesus built a church!

[Joe 6-pack]

"But one thing that I have wondered for sometime now, and I mean no offense by this question, is can an angel be in the form of a dog?"

My reason leads me to conclude that they would serve God in any capacity He directed them to. While I can not say that with the absolute certainty of proof, I can affirm that some dogs are imbued with a touch of the angelic...

[AnAmericanMother]

:-D Exactly! ( good catch! )

[humblegunner]

we are not to worship angles

[Tax-chick]

And that’s such a graceful angle, too. It reminds me of a crocodile’s jaws.

Never drive faster than your guardian angel can fly.
