Do animals have souls ?

[Dorothy39]

Of course all creatures have souls~ animals included~

I can't imagine Heaven ( no mortal can), yet I firmly believe that their spirits are there.

[Freedom]

Every time I gaze into the eyes of one of my pets, I have NO doubt, there is being in there, separate and apart from the body.

I believe they do.

[kimboe]

I believe and think that anything living or casts a shadow has a soul or spirit.

I know all animals go to heaven, that goes without saying.

My thought is that we as humans were born with souls and with original sin; therefore we have the ability to sin and have to repent for our sins.
Animals on the other hand can not commit sins and were not born with original sin. So I don't think they have souls, they have spirits.

Thats what I believe too. I usually explain it a little differently though. I believe that animals are like young children, they're innocents and cannot be held accountable for any wrongdoing.

If animals don't have souls then my name isn't Michelle.

[Laura's Babies]

I always tell my babies that if God made anything any sweetier than they are, He kept it in Heaven for Himself.

I am certian they have souls and go to Heaven.
