So true, but then again, there I don’t think there are any verses saying they definitely aren’t going to be there, and I don’t see any real harmful repercussion from people believing in that wishful thinking, so I just hold my tongue.
There is no direct statement although I think Matthew 7:6 might be a clue. If dogs are not to receive what is holy, it could be argued either that dogs are not in need of salvation because they are incapable of sin or dogs are merely earthly creatures without eternal souls.
