TOPIC: PETS HAVE A SOUL:
Date: written on May 14,2004 at 12:13 noon EST:
I get mixed up between soul and spirit.
If the soul the personality core of our lives.
Then I have to say yes.
3 divisions in a human is body, soul and spirit.
Is the spirit that connect us to God.
I dont think a dog or a cat etc. does have that connection to God. No matter how much I wish they did.
I cant believe God created these animal, all of these animal and not preserve them for the new heaven and the new earth.
After all it does say some where in the word of GOD. that the child will lie down with the lion. and able to play in a cobra hole(paraphrasing).
So animals are beautiful creature, and part of God's creation. So why wont he preserve them.
Now just because the bible doesnt mention that animals are running around the throne of God.
Does it mean there are none.
It is one of those mysteries , of life that have been debated.
Animals have heart, minds, and energy, and personalities.
So is the soul the base of our personality.
Animals have unconditional love.
Where does that unconditional love come from.
Creatures knows the creator.
Didnt Jesus rebuke the Church leaders, for wanting him to quiet the crowds during his victorious ride on the colt on palm sunday.
Jesus said if he quiet his disciples, wouldnt the stones
immediate cry out.
My favourite passage in REVELATIONS is:
Revelation 5 :
There are a number of verses I praise God for in this chapter.
The verse of 13:
AND EVERY CREATURE WHICH IS IN HEAVEN, AND ON THE EARTH, AND UNDER THE EARTH, AND SUCH AS ARE IN THE SEA, AND ALL THAT ARE IN THEM, I HEARD SAYING:
"BLESSED AND HONOUR AND GLORY AND POWER
BE TO HIM WHO SITS ON THE THRONE
AND TO THE LAMB, FOREVER AND EVER!"
I also like the last line of 5:8:
and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints:"
this is for another posting .
Getting back to the DOG HAVING SOULS ,,,, ::)My vote is yes. if it means the personality of the animal.
ANIMALS have PERSONALITIES, no one can doubt that.
There is a stats I heard about : a full grown German Shepherd dog. has the minimum intelligence of a four year old child.
As an ALPHA LEADER TO MY DOG, I am bias, I have even taught my dog to talk.
For a weiner, she can say 'I LOVE YOU', 'GOOD GIRL', HUNGRY' 'SARA', 'MAMA', she understands alot of words.
She even knows how the word WALK, even if you spell it. I AM NOT LYING !!!.
There was a friend of Sara's came in, She popped her head around with Sara to say Hello. MISSY MY DOG, said 'HOW ARE YOU', I didnt even open my mouth.
SHE LOOKED AT THE DOG, RAN OUT OF THE HOUSE.
It was unweinerized automatic, speaking to Sara's friend. It looked like Missy was yawning, out pop 'HOW ARE YOU'. It was so funny, Sara and I almost "peed" ourselves, laughing so hard, that my dog, scared out Sara's friend by talking a three word sentence.
'HOW ARE YOU'
So after reading this comedy story.
DO DOGS HAVE SOULS.
?
Mine sure does.
