There is no mention in the Bible of a pet heaven or dog heaven—and for good reason. Animals cannot take the steps needed to qualify for “the heavenly calling.” (Hebrews 3:1).

@monsterglo Animals don't go to heaven. Only people do, except for tiny babies that is. You have to be able to look after yourself in god's kingdom, and they're too small to do so. Imagine how crowded heaven would be, if everything living thing that existed in the last four billion years was in heaven. It's impossible to think about.

@monsterglo There is no mention in the Bible of a pet heaven or dog heaven—and for good reason. Animals cannot take the steps needed to qualify for “the heavenly calling.” (Hebrews 3:1) These steps include taking in knowledge, exercising faith, and obeying God’s commands. (Matthew 19:17; John 3:16; 17:3) Only humans were created with the prospect of living forever.—Genesis 2:16, 17; 3:22, 23. To go to heaven, earthly creatures must be resurrected. (1 Corinthians 15:42) The Bible mentions a number of resurrections. (1 Kings 17:17-24; 2 Kings 4:32-37; 13:20, 21; Luke 7:11-15; 8:41, 42, 49-56; John 11:38-44; Acts 9:36-42; 20:7-12) However, every one of them involved humans, not animals. So the Bible is clear on this. No pets in heaven. Also, don't shoot the messenger. God made the rules, not me. Whatever shall be, shall be.

@monsterglo Isn't the bible the word of god? The verses Included, make god's will clear. Humans only in heaven. No pets. No exceptions.

@zerotolerance9004 No, what I saying, and all the evidence supports this, is that god doesn't care about humans, either. That's because god is made up concept, only believed in by gullible people, who can't think for themselves. Obviously, from your comments, you're one of those who falls into that category. I can't imagine living life everyday, holding such fairy tale beliefs in your head. There are people who just see the World, without supernatural thinking, and they do just fine. Even animals and plants thrive and live full lives, without any thoughts about some supreme sky-daddy watching their every move.

@zerotolerance9004 Do you really have a donkey which laughs? I'd love to see and hear it. You seem confused, do you believe in heaven, or not? Anyway, it's gonna be a bit late to find out, once you've kicked the bucket. The best way is not to take the chance, and makes the best of what we do know is real. If god was real, how could he/she/it blame you for not believing in him/her/it? Especially, considering this god, has been playing the greatest and longest game of hide and seek in history.

@zerotolerance9004 Well, according to some old book, humans were created in gods image. Other living things were just part of the scenery. To create some sort of giant zoo, and botanical gardens for us to all live in. It's a shame that god didn't get his/her/its creation right first time, and had to do a reboot somewhere down the line. Where only a few chosen people and the rest of animal life survived a global flood on a big boat. And everyone else on the planet met a death by drowning. Although, what about the fishermen and sailors, who already had boats? Surely, they would have survived too, eating fish they caught. What's also amazing though, is how all the plants survived being at the bottom of an ocean for nearly six months. Aren't those stories in that old book incredible?

@SEJ3333 Hmmm, Yes. You made the correct deduction, my dear Watson.

@suzangreen6122 Somebody brought up religion for some reason. Going on about cats going to heaven. Is that expected to be taken seriously, when you look at all the suffering in the world, and a god who turns a blind eye to it?

Black cats are considered common companions of witches and bringers of misfortune if they happened to cross your path.

@GalacticGoddess46 It might be an "old wives tale", as you call it. But some people are superstitious. Would those people want to risk their luck, by having a black cat?

@monsterglo Coins have two sides. The bible mentions both good and evil things.

@monsterglo Actually, it's a myth that black cats are adopted less frequently than cats of other colours. However, shelter workers may notice a bias against black felines thanks to lingering perceptions. Black cats are associated with bad luck, and sadly, death. This fear of black cats appears to stem from medieval times, when an animal with dark feathers or fur, including crows and ravens, signalled death. In 16th-century Italy, it was believed that death was imminent if a black cat would lay on someone's sickbed. In modern-day North America, negative connotations continue to haunt black cats: It’s considered bad luck if a black cat crosses your path, and good luck if a white cat crosses your path. Another family member is bound to die if you spot a black cat during a funeral procession. And it's a bad omen if you see a black cat walking away from you.

@GalacticGoddess46 I was thinking about the superstition concerning now walking under a ladder. If you think about it, that makes a lot of sense. There might be someone up that ladder, and you might get something heavy dropped on your head, which is the worst place to be hit by an object. Nobody is going to hurt someone for avoiding black cats. They're just reacting on these old superstitions. As long as they don't come into contact with a black cat, they think that they will OK. Its just that if they do by chance, something evil might happen. Many superstitions are based on actions, which might help a person avoid a dangerous situation. The colour black has for centuries, been associated with evil, misfortune and death. I agree that this is wrong, and has no basis in fact. In no way, should black cats be assumed to be bad, and should be treated just the same, as say a white cat. The cat has no control of its colour, and shouldn't be discriminated against for this reason.
