I have a friend whose ashes will be mixed with her dog's and cat's and tossed into a lake. If the animals aren't saved, won't it be a hard sorting job for Saint Pete?

If that isn't laying with animals, I don't know what is, so I doubt that she'd be making it to heaven anyway.

More proof of the evils of cats. I looked out my kitchen first thing in the morning and what do I see? A cat on the neighbor's porch, sitting up sorta, with its head tucked betwixt its legs licking itself!

Now, if I did something like that, I'd get arrested, listed in the Guiness Book of World Records and sent to hell, in that order.

Another thing about cats, you know they remember how they used to be worshipped and all. Other animals are either tame or wild, but none of them is downright uppity like cats.

Actually, sea creatures have souls. Though maybe that means just mermaids, I'll BRB with scripture.

EDIT: here we go: Revelation 16:3-5: And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.

So, whoever has souls is whoever is dieing. Fishes and whales are dieing, but jellyfishes aren't, so does that mean whales and fishes have souls?

Could it be referring to fishermen and oil rig workers? Perhaps Leviathan?

Whatever types of sea life you're talking about, they ain't likely to be saved. Of course, if fishermen, oil workers and Leviathan accept Jesus and stick to His Word, that another story,

Well the quote did say souls, it didn't say anything about being saved.

Re: Animals Ain't Saved

Another problem with cats is the way that they stare at you as if YOU were the one in the wrong for not reading their preferred, Satan-inspired scripture.

Now, dolphins are more open. If you were to sit down by the sea-side or at an aquarium pool and start reading the Good Word, the dolphins at least would show some polite interest. They might show some enthusiasm for some particularly well-phrased verse and ask good-natured questions in an attempt to understand.

Try reading the Holy Scripture to a cat, why don't you? They will turn around, tail in the air to let you know how deep is the nature of their disdain. The one good thing is that this is one more proof of God's Pure Truth, because while the cat will never admit it, it is being turned away by God's powerful Word and you are being protected from Satan's influence.

But just you try setting down the Good Book. The cat will come back into the room and sit there and stare at you with its hypnotic gaze and try and think real loud, "Wooorship me, cooome to Satan, feeed me expensive wet food . . ."

I tell you brethren, trusting a cat is similar in danger to trusting a gay.
Do not keep either in your house.

Warningly Yours,

Re: Animals Ain't Saved

The only animal that I remember any kind mention towards in the Bible is the sparrow. As Jesus pointed out, God notices even when an innocent little sparrow falls from a branch. But does He go all mushy and pick it up so it doesn't get eaten or stepped on, NO!

I believe there may be some positive references to doves as well in there.

I like doves, they make great target practice.

Re: Animals Ain't Saved

Doves are featured in Leviticus as an appropriate offering to the temple, so the Lord doesn't eshew them altogether. However, it is clear from even a cursory reading of the Good Book that He doesn't get all lovey-dovey over them.

The Lord went through a great deal of trouble to protect and provide animals for us when He gave instructions over the Ark, but He does not wax sentimental about animals in His word.

People continually make "false gods" of animals. They lavish love and financial resources upon them, and insist that animals offer some sort of special "acceptance" and unconditional love.

First, of all, if you stop putting out the food, all that "love" will turn mean soon enough. As for the acceptance part, the love between a human and animals means never having to say "I'm wrong." Humans have all the power and authority in those relationships. That's why so many people insist that animals are "nicer" than the people they know. That's because their pets never disagree with them or challenge their opinions.

People not only tend to make false gods out of their animals, but there are those folk who like to BE false Gods. ( that idea doesn't work with cats, though )

The animal is obedient; the animal exists to serve the owner's needs.

If the owner decides, the animal can be put to death as an act of mercy. That's a very lopsided relationship. And so many people value it over connections with people. Worse, they dare to challenge God's placement of animals in the scheme of things.

What's really idolatry is when they put stupid clothes on their pets. It's a sin against God, nature and good taste.

Disdainfully Yours,

Handmaiden
