I am new to this forum and this may seem like a trivial question to ask(especially for my first) but the questions arose on Monday and I have been curious since!!
Do animals go to heaven?
This seems like a great place and I look forward to being a part of it!

even as you believe in your heart, so shall it be. i think it is entirely up to you. god will give us the desires of our heart. i would concentrate on having a heart rightly inclined toward him and the rest is elementary, watson!
Knew of a kindly boy who suffered greatly as child and someone killed his beloved dog. Years later the Good Lord showed him his reward. Part of the reward was his loved ones and his dog. Jesus also comes back on a horse, plus my friend it the Bible has many parts about animals in the Bible in the next kingdom.
I will also find some references for you.
In the meantime, WELCOME!
Don't worry about your questions, I'm sure through the discussion we will all have a jab at answering it.
Everything is welcome here unless it gets TOO heated - and people start acting un-christ-like. Our goal here to share our views, questions and faith in a Biblical Christ-like manner. The other reason a post might belong in the debate forum is if people are debunking Biblical Christianity and trying to lead astray.
ive noticed that animals are individuals, like us. created by God like us. Lions will lay down with Lambs. everything is spirit. we are animals to. some think that they are better i dont. what a lonley place it will be if not, just like its going to be lonley here, if we keep killing all our animals.
Joh 2:24 But Jesus, on His part, was not entrusting Himself to them, for He knew all men,
Joh 2:25 and because He did not need anyone to testify concerning man, for He Himself knew what was in man.
The more you know Christ, the more you will know the heart of man. Dealing with people according to the flesh profits no one and dishonors Christ. In "witnessing" it is very simple: Joh 12:32 "And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself." Success in witnessing salvation to the lost is a result of The Father who willed it, The Son who Worked it and The Holy Spirit who witnesses it.
" So you don't think that understanding a human psychology (I am not talking about Jung, Freud, Theophostic - but at least a general understanding of people's psychological makeup, reactions, etc) is a good tool when talking and witnessing to the unsaved?"
No, you have the Word of God and the leading of the Holy Spirit. Human psychology will lead to judging and catagorizing the lost and scheming to cleverly push your beliefs instead of Lifting up Christ.
1Co 2:4 and my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
1Co 2:5 so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.
