I love this question, everyone who has a favorite pet always wonders if they'll be re-united with their pet in Heaven. Dogs do not have a soul per se, they are simply animals that have no need for being 'saved'. This is because, by their nature, they simply can not reason and thus can not sin or understand the concept of Jesus Christ. However, do not be forlorn or feel as if the dog is gone for good, because there's no theological revelation given to us yet that says a dog couldn't be in Heaven.

In my opinion, if God thinks that you would be happy in Heaven with a dog, then I am sure one will be provided for you. If you had a favorite pet or two, God can easily recreate them for you to have as a pet for all eternity. Heaven is bliss and pure happiness, and the love of a fine pet certainly can be a part of that!

Answer: Awake 4/22/O4 on Jehovah's Witnesses official website had this to say: It is good to remember, though, that The Bible emphasizes the distinction between humans and animals. Humans, not animals were made in the image and likeness of God.' (Genesis 1:26) And whereas animals were created with a limited lifespan, humans had the prospect of living on earth forever. Our Creator must be pleased when we take delight in his animal creations and show them loving consideration. Of course it can be sad, even tragic, to see a beloved pet die. But even in such a case there is room for balance. Animals were not created in God's image, nor were they meant to live forever as were humans. Regarding the way God made humans, the Bible says: "He has even put eternity into their minds." Yet nothing like this can be said of animals. (Ecclesiastes 3:11)

All good people are not going to heaven, Psalms 37:29 says "The righteous will possess the earth, and they will live forever upon it."

Where does the Catholic religion state that only Catholics will go to heaven?

Roman Catholic AnswerNo where, because it is not true. The Catholic Church teaches that there is no salvation outside the Church: this does NOT mean that only Catholics go to heaven. It means that anyone that makes it to heaven makes it through the mediation of the Catholic Church. The reason for this is very simple, the Catholic Church is the mystical Body of Christ (read St. Paul). There is no salvation outside of Jesus Christ, so it follows that any salvation must come through Him, and His Church which He set up as the ordinary means of salvation.

What are examples of ecumenism?

How did the people of England react to this? In fact, the vast bulk of the population were very angry at the way the Roman Catholic Church had used them as a source of money. To get married you had to pay; to get a child baptised (which you needed to be if you were to go to Heaven - so the Catholic Church preached) you had to pay; you even had to pay the Church to bury someone on their land (which you had to do as your soul could only go to Heaven if you were buried on Holy Ground). Therefore, the Catholic Church was very wealthy while many poor remained just that….poor. Their money was going to the Catholic Church. Therefore, there were no great protests throughout the land as many felt that Henry would ease up on taking money from them. Henry knew of the Catholic Church's unpopularity and, therefore, used this to his advantage.
