Viewers will notice a sudden change in the look of this website. The reason,  Ourchurch.com, the website people who provide the space that allows us to have this website, have  changed their page styles and templates. Unfortunately the colours and styles we've been using here are no longer included on their list of offerings. We hope the changes won't take anything away from the intent of the site. This website is non-denominational. We all believe in the same God and only He is the judge. So for all of you who believe and follow the commandments that tell us to "Love Thy Neighbour" and to "Judge Not Lest Ye Be Judged" also believe the contents of this website. It is solidly supported by the Scriptures and by experts and well known scholars still living or gone to Heaven to be with our creator.



OUR MISSION

Our Mission Is To Prove Without A Shadow Of A Doubt That When God Made Animals He Made Them With Spirits And Souls and intended that they have a place in Heaven.

I would like to assure readers that our ministry includes the love of people and animals alike. Some people see animals as simply a part of life to keep us company when we need them. We believe in and love God and everything that Jesus taught as do all the other ministries that teach the Word. It is God's plan that we love all His creatures and this is exactly what we do. So believe that our teachings on animals souls and spirits and their part in God's plan for Salvation is in addition to all the other teachings as found in the Bible.

On occasion we get an email suggesting that we should love our fellow man instead of animals. We love both and that is the wish of God. Love all that He created and only He will be the judge.

What you read on this website is not our opinion but the word as taught by some of the greatest scholars and experts over the years. 
  


BELIEVE, BECAUSE IT'S TRUE
THE BIBLE DOESN'T LIE


PROOF OF ANIMAL IMMORTALITY

There are those who believe and those who don’t. All we can hope to do is provide everyone with the proof through information from the writings of some of the world’s greatest scholars and other intelligent sources. If after you’ve read this information, you still don’t believe then it’s something you’ll have to deal with through God Himself.

One would think that since all of this information and that provided by dozens of books, sermons and general writings on the subject prove without a doubt that animals are sinless, God’s creatures and part of the plan for Heaven, that most people would accept the proof. But as all of these writings plainly indicate, many humans refuse to accept the fact that what they see as the lowly animal creature and other children of God could possibly share equality.

Christian scholars Martin Luther, John Calvin, John Wesley, Dr. Andrew Linzey, St. Francis of Assisi, Dr. Albert Schweitzer the Jack Van Impe Ministries, the late Pope John Paul 11 and many others, support the belief that animals have souls and a place in Heaven. Does that mean non-believers consider themselves more learned than these people?

Perhaps you know about Pope John Paul II's love of animals, being the first pope to proclaim that "the animals possess a soul and men must love and feel solidarity with our smaller brethren", and that animals are "fruit of the creative action of the Holy Spirit and merit respect" and are "as near to God as men are". Read more below.

The above quote is taken from a special St. Francis website:

I think it's time that the doubters confronted the truth and came to grips with the fact that God created us all and He has a plan for us all in a Heaven so beautiful that when we enter those golden gates it will be the happiest times we have ever had.

There are those who will say, we should spend more time on bringing people to the Lord and less on worrying about whether animals go to Heaven. I say it's all part of God's work. Yes, we do try to bring humans to God and yes we try to prove the immortality of animals to those who don't believe. It's what is expected of us as Christians. God made us all, humans, animals, insects and every living creature. We are all God's creatures and when you are referring to animals in a negative way, you are referring to children of God in a negative way. Judge Not Less Ye Be Judged. Those are the words of God.Once you've read the teachings of the Bible and some of the greatest scholars who ever lived you'll understand that by not believing in animal immortality you are questioning what most of the experts have known and preached for decades.

ROMANS 8:19-21 "the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God, because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God."
(KJV).

LUKE 3:6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.'" (NKJ)

ACTS 3:21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began. (KJV)

REV. 21:5 And He that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And He said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. (KJV)

ECCLESIASTES 3:18 I said in my heart, "Concerning the condition of the sons of men, God tests them, that they may see that they themselves are like animals”. (NKJ)

ECCLESIASTES 3:19-20 Man's fate is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath, man has no advantage over the animal. Everything is meaningless. All go to the same place; all come from dust and to dust all return. (NIV)

LUKE 3:6 "all flesh shall see the salvation of God." (KJV)

PSALM 36:6 Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your judgments are like the great deep; you save humans and animals alike, O LORD. (NRS)

GENESIS 1:30 and to every animal of the earth, and to every fowl of the heavens, and to everything that creepeth on the earth, in which is a living soul, every green herb for food. And it was so. (DBY)


"The Dead Sea Scrolls Uncovered"

Your Holy Spirit
Fragment 9 Column 2 Fragment 10 Column 1 (1) He (God) opened His Mercies...all the needs of His storehouse, and gave sustenance (2) to every living thing. There is none...{If he} closes his hand, and the Spi{rit of all} (3) flesh is withdrawn,
God gives life to every living thing/spirit but when He chooses, He takes their spirit back, withdraws it.

Fragment 9 Column 2 Fragment 10 referring to the spirit of all flesh reads much like Psalms 104 25-32 There before me lies the might ocean, teeming with life of every kind, both great and small. And look! See the ships! And over there, the whale you made to play in the sea. Every one of these depends on you to give them daily food. You supply it, and they gather it. You open wide your hand to feed them and they are satisfied with all your bountiful provision. But if you turn away from them, then all is lost. And when you gather up their breath, (spirit) they die and turn again to dust. Then you send your Spirit, and new life is born to replenish all the living of the earth. Praise God forever! How he must rejoice in all his work! The earth trembles at his glance; the mountains burst into flame at his touch. (Psalms 104:25-32 TLB) When God gathers up or takes back their spirits their flesh returns to dust.

And all flesh perished that moved upon the earth, both fowl, and cattle, and beast, and every swarming thing that swarmeth upon the earth, and every man; all in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, whatsoever was in the dry land, died. (Genesis 7:21-22 Holy Scriptures)

And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation (Numbers 16:22 KJV) These are three of the scriptures mentioned in various books of the Bible referring to the spirit of the animals.

Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the Lord hath wrought this? In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath (spirit) of all mankind. (Job 12:9-10 KJV)

"And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is a living soul, [I have given] every green herb for food.' And it was so. (Genesis 1:30 Holy Scriptures)

Dr. Andrew Linzey
An explanation of "animal" and the terms "soul" and "spirit" are spelled out in the book "Animals On the Agenda" edited and commented on by Dr. Andrew Linzey. He states: "the very word animal is almost the opposite to spiritual-which is why many Christians strongly reject the idea that human beings are animals, because they assume that this would mean we do not have spirits, or souls. But of course the soul, a distinct 'immortal' part which inhabits our bodies much as our bodies inhabit our clothes,is a Greek concept which is quite foreign to the Bible. In Hebrew, the words for 'animal' 'breath', and 'spirit' are often related: As indeed, in Latin our word 'animal' or 'spirit' animus means 'mind', the Hebrew word translated 'creature' in Genesis 1 and 2 is nephesh, whose root means 'breathe'and which is frequently and tendentiously translated 'soul' in human contexts throughout the Old Testament. The 'breath' of life is ruach, which elsewhere is rendered 'spirit' (or even 'Spirit'). Likewise, the standard Greek word for 'animal' is zoon, which is related to zoe which means 'life' For example, Jesus' declaration in John 14.6, eimi he zoe: 'I am Life' in other words, whereas English suggest a distinction between the animal kingdom and the world of the spirit, these ancient languages tend to imply a continuum.


Then there are the teachings of the scholars mentioned above and others.

Martin Luther,
founder of the Lutheran Church

"In Paradise there was complete harmony between man and animals; one day again that harmony will be restored and all creation will be made anew as Christ will be in all and all."



John Calvin,
founder of the Presbyterian Church

"Condemnation of mankind is imprinted on the heavens, and on the earth, and on all creatures. It also appears to what excelling glory the sons of God shall be exalted; for all creatures shall be renewed—not partakers of the same glory but according to their nature shall be participators of a better condition, for God will restore to a perfect state the world, now fallen, together with mankind".




John Wesley,
founder of the Methodist church

"Will even the brute creation, always remain in this deplorable condition" God forbid that we should affirm this; yea, or even entertain such a thought! While "the whole creation groaneth together, " (whether man attend or not,) their groans-enter into the ears of Him that made them. While his creatures "travail together in pain," he knoweth all their pain, and is bringing them near and nearer to the birth, which shall be accomplished in its season. He seeth "that, earnest expectation'; wherewith the whole animated creation "waitheth for" that final "manifestation of the sons of God"; in which "they themselves also shall be delivered' into the glorious liberty of the children of God." "Behold I make all things new;"


Pope John Paul II
"No human being can be justified in claiming absolute ownership of animals for the simple reason that God alone owns creation. Animals do not simply exist for us nor belong to us. They exist primarily for God and belong to God. The whole work of creation belongs to the plan of salvation," "The mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things" Through the act of creation of the world, and especially of man, the plan of salvation begins to be realized. Pope John Paul II loved all animals, being the first pope to proclaim that "the animals possess a soul and men must love and feel solidarity with our smaller brethren", and that animals are "fruit of the creative action of the Holy Spirit and merit respect" and are "as near to God as men are".



Dr. E. D. Buckner
Although Dr. Buckner lived 100 years ago, he was aware of the problems concerning the abuse of animals as well as the ignorance of many in the Christian community regarding the eternal destination of the animals in accordance with the Bible. The many theologians researched by Dr. Buckner knew of the immortality of animals and of Scripture addressing this issue. Because of Dr. Buckner's significant insights, "The Immortality of Animals" is as timely today as it was in 1903.
 




New Testament Theology
By Richard Bauckham

The Book of Revelation is a work of profound theology. But its literary form makes it impenetrable to many modern readers and open to all kinds of misinterpretations. Richard Bauckham explains how the book's imagery conveyed meaning in its original context and how the book's theology is inseparable from its literary structure and composition. Revelation is seen to offer not an esoteric and encoded forecast of historical events but rather a theocentric vision of the coming of God's universal kingdom, contextualized in the late first-century world dominated by Roman power and ideology. It calls on Christians to confront the political idolatries of the time and to participate in God's purpose of gathering all the nations into his kingdom. Once Revelation is properly grounded in its original context it is seen to transcend that context and speak to the contemporary church. This study concludes by highlighting Revelation's continuing relevance for today. He reveals the truth through the Book of Revelation that all lesser animals are immortal and inherit the Kingdom of Heaven along with Christians.

A bulldog is blessed by Father Juan Manuel Villar
during the feast of San Anton, the patron saint of animals, in Madrid.
Every dog has his day, and during the feast of San Anton in Spain,
thousands of furry friends get their moment in the sun.
 
Many Catholic churches in Spain honor (St. Antonio Abad),
the patron saint of animals, with a feast on Jan. 17.
 
During the celebration, people flock to churches so their animals
can receive a special blessing. Attendees bring everything from house pets
to work or farm animals so priests can perform a special prayer
on them using holy water.
