If by "creatures" you think God means non-humans, where do you draw the line? A "creature" is that which God created and animated. All living things posses a "soul" or anima ("that which moves"). Preaching to animals does not have to be in words. You can be kind to them.

A "creature" is that which God created and animated. All living things posses a "soul" or anima ("that which moves"). Fascinating. This gets stranger and stranger. So a fly has a soul? A gnat has a soul?
I think you demean what a "soul" is and you demean the fact that Christ died to save the souls of God's elect.
Did Christ die to save the soul of a bat? Does Christ's blood cover the roach?
And if good works are necessary to save a soul, how does the centipede perform good works?
Bizarre.
