I dont know JtheB but i am interested in the Question and the Scripture.

Ok i'm interested...... so spill..... and who is Cindy, and what forum?

well ive got an infraction and a warning for believing dogs and cats will not be raptured and for mocking faith

I sometimes wonder about the mental balance of some people.
(Who could I be refering to?)

Obviously whoever gave Anne the infraction John.
Anne, that could be dangerous, I'd get it xrayed [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Cindy is a person who runs a forum called Fresh Hope she was ok just that she posts these l-o-n-g post of copy and posting from other web sites.
She was rather angry when a man called streetsinger mentioned he was against guns and he left the forum because it got so bad but we are still there jtheb and I and to be honest she dislikes jtheb's short post and she just dislikes me......

Blimey Anne, I just found it.

Is it an Asylum??? They sound quite bonkers [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Since when did Noah take pets on the ark [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

And how did God, saving 8 human beings, show His preference for animals
There were only 2 of each unclean, fair enough 7 of the clean, but the odd one got sacrificed and after the flood we were give permission to eat meat [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Oh dear Anne, poor little things are in for a shock...................... or are they ???
Looking at something else I found these verses today.

Ecclesiastes 9.
⁵ For the living know that they will die,
but the dead know nothing;
they have no further reward,
and even the memory of them is forgotten. ⁶ Their love, their hate
and their jealousy have long since vanished;
never again will they have a part
in anything that happens under the sun.

One of my repeated comments is that the value of a posting is inversely proportional to its length.

And her posting are vEEEEEEEEry vEEEEEEEEEEry long.

I don't think they will be raptured.

WOW thats some verse Elaine do you know ive never saw them before or maybe I have and never really took them in...what do you think they mean because I don't know ... quite a thought

I was searching something completely different when it popped up. I must have read it loads of times yet it didn't jump out like today.
It was the ".......... even the memory of them is forgotten.." that struck me.

I know many people who fear spending time in Glory mourning their loved ones who didn't make it. Yet it seems we may not even remember they existed.

If that is the case I'm sure the same will apply to animals.

I do think there will be animals in heaven, but not animals that have been raptured [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

yes I agree with you Elaine.

God's covenant of salvation is only with man because only man is a moral being created in the image of God (Gen 1:27). Not all flesh is the same (1 Cor 15:39).

Noah was a preacher of righteousness (2 Peter 2:5) and was saved with his family who would have followed his teaching - the rest of humanity was destroyed because of its wickedness. The reason animals were on the Ark was not to become a symbol that they too will one day be saved, because salvation is from sin. This is why in 2 Peter 2:5 man is the one spoken of as saved. The animals were on the Ark to repopulate the earth, and in some cases, to be sacrificial offerings (Gen 8:20).
There are many different covenants in the Bible and the covenant mentioned in Genesis 9 refers to God's promise not to flood the earth again. In light of this those who say animals are not saved/in heaven are not forgetting Genesis 9 - this part doesn't refer to heaven but earth: there will be no more flood.

However, and aside from all this, we are also called to look after God's creation and therefore there is nothing wrong with praying that God helps us with our animals. Neither can we say that God will not have animals in the new heaven or earth.

To be really obscure it may depend on what you mean by animals.

I don't expect cats and dogs sheep etc. But there may well be some other things about which we know nothing that will be there.

I agree with both of you, actually it's quite exciting looking forward to what will be there [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

If the original perfection is restored, then I don't think we'll see Chihuahuas [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Seems to me that the "pets in heaven" people are backtracking now. What do you think Anne?

It seems there saying 'maybe' and not being dogmatic about it

The warning I got was because I was mocking the faith which got me 7 points
