I have created this topic as requested.

Will our pets be restored to us in heaven and/or on the New Earth? My answer is that the Bible seems to be silent on that. If you know of a Bible verse that answers this question, I am most interested that you share it.


In His Love, Mercy & Grace,

Maybe we could take some time to consider what is meant by "the former things shall not be remembered nor brought into mind."

Evangelist Steve Wohlberg wrote a book about this very thing after he did research on the subject. He watched one day while his favorite little dog ran under the wheels of a truck. I understand that the book has been on sale at the ABC Stores. I have meant to look for it and I will now as soon as I can.

He feels that they will be and maybe he can give us his reasons in the book. Darius, yes, the Bible does say that the former things will be wiped away---Is this speaking in connection with our tears being wiped away because all of our loved ones will not be there?. If everything were forgotten then we would not even know the same loves that we have here on this earth--according to Sister White we will know one another. I know that we can not really know what heaven will be like. But we will have animals in heaven. "THe lion will lay down with the lamb"--or is that symbolic?. I don't know. But if, according to the Bible and Sr. White "we will have the joys of our heart"---well, just maybe!! I often say that I will not care about the mansions--I only want a block of green grass where my family and friends can all sit together and talk with Jesus. Think maybe I could also have my pets?

Summertime, I just find it intriguing that we would think that we won't remember the illicit relationship we wanted to have with the nice looking human down the street but we will remember that we had a dog that liked to lick our face. Intriguing.

I can't remember but I am going to go the the Book Center as soon as I can to ask about it. I think that I can find out since I know the author's name. Right now in Missouri it is 105 degrees so maybe I will wait until next week to try to find out. Our ABC is only open on Wednesday afternoon and Sunday morning. Maybe I can find it on internet. I will keep trying because I want to read the book myself.

Darius, since I have never had an illicit relationship I have never thought about how to answer that question. And I also know that Jesus did not die to save my pets. But if all the former things are passed away then how am I going to know who my husband is? It is an intriquing matter. Maybe I am looking for a pot at the end of a rainbow, but this whole idea is just something that sounds like heaven to me. when my dog got diabetes he lost his eyesight. I prayed that the Lord would let him see just a little. I don't believe that prayer was ever answered in the way that I asked, but I do know that for the rest of his life he had the ability to get around and act as though he could see. Maybe that was the answer to my prayer. REgardless, I hope that Jesus will let me have a pet that looks like Troubles and I know that he will be able to see perfectly. Maybe he will have the same DNA (if there is going to be DNA in heaven.) Who knows?

I thought it was only the evil and sinful acts that we would no longer remember.

I don't see anything evil and sinful about remembering our pets, therefore, I do believe we will remember them as we will remember and know one another in heaven and later on the New Earth.

There may be a problem between individuals and their pets, with idolatry of the pet. A safe example would be the mumified animals found in large numbers around egyptian gravesites while also remembering that the large part of the egyptian parthenon was half animal, half human.
There are today people who have distorted views of their pets aswell. In a school debate on values, someone told me that if being in a burning house and having an equal chanse of saving either their pet or a stranger (or even if it was easier to save the stranger), they would choose to save the pet and let the person burn.

(NOTE: I do not know nor do I claim that any of the above is true for anyone who has participated in this thread)


Galatians 2
21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

It is so hazardous to take here a little and there a little. If you put the right little's together you can make the bible teach anything you wish. //Graham Maxwell

Could that also explain why there will not be marriages, weddings, etc. in heaven?

But then, that could become another topic in itself.
