The Bible does mention horses in Heaven, but there is only one Heaven, and it's reserved for souls of people who have freely chosen God. Animals act according to instinct as God has pre-programmed them. They have no soul but sure are cute.

You would have to ask someone who was Jewish. But animals do not have souls which are "accountable" for sin, so I wouldn't think that it would matter to the animal. They aren't going to go to hell. But the owner is in charge of what the pet gets to eat (most of the time!) so it would be up to them.

if you believe that there is no God but One to be worshiped you will go to paradise. \n\nbut if you condemend adultry and die without repent. then you will be tortured in Hell (or God forgive you) for a period of time. then you will be taking out from the Hell to paradise. it's like a punishment for a limited time, but do you have any idea how long will you stay in Hell, it could be thousands of years.\n\ncan't remember the hadith but Muhammad (P) mentioned that God forgave a prostituded who saw a thirsty dog and helped the dog to drink. and God said MY Mercy Comes Before My Anger. \n\nand if you just know the mercy of God. you wouldn't ever give up his forgiviness.

Backup for what? \n\nNone of this is going to happen, because there's no heaven or hell or angels, and when you're dead, you're gone.

by definition, heaven, means eternal life. hell, means eternal death.

Death is the sleeplike state of nonexistence. "Hell" is the common grave of mankind, so everyone who dies goes there to await resurrection on the last day.\n\n(Acts 24:15) there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous\n\n(John 11:24) Martha said to him [Jesus]: “I know he [my brother] will rise in the resurrection on the last day.” \n\n\nHell is NOT someplace/something we need to fear; there is no suffering in the grave.\n\n(Ecclesiastes 9:5) For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all\n\n(Ecclesiastes 9:10) there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol ["hell"]\n\n(Ezekiel 18:4) The soul that is sinning—it itself will die.\n\nThe bible says that Hades ("hell") will be done away with:\n(Revelation 20:14) And death and Hades were hurled into the lake of fire\n\n\nFaithful, patient Job requested that he go to "hell":\n(Job 14:13) O that in She´ol you would conceal me\n\nEven Jesus was in "hell" for three days:\n(Acts 2:27) you will not leave my soul in Hades ["hell"]

If there are no animals (or pets) in heaven, I don't want to go. Life, or afterlife, without my dog would suck.

it depends on what you believe.\n\nif you're like me and may others, you go to Heaven or Hell.

Animals do not go to heaven because they have no soul. They just cease to exist. Apparently, we do not need pets in heaven since only our souls go there. New born babies do have a soul and go to heaven because they are completely innocent.

When people die, they sleep without dreams until the judgment.\n\nHell is destroyed with death, so it can't be an alternative to heaven.

i think we will all go to heaven. if god is good and died for all of our sins. why would he make a hell to punish people HE created. i think god is so good that he loves us all so much. so we will all go to heaven. I do not belive a hell exsist.

I believe that our soul journeys through this world, in many different lifetimes, till we have learned all the lessons put before us and we attain enlightenment.  Then our soul is freed from this earth and obtains a celestial form.  I don't believe in heaven or hell.  Hell is re-living the same lesson over and over again because we're too stupid to get it!  I've known a few people who have done that!  I don't think our souls could inhabit an animal body.  That just doesn't make sense to me.

Can't think of anymore, I think I'm the only one answering that agrees with u, lol. There good though covered all the reasons i don't believe. Oh wait think I've got one if there is a heaven where do the animals go? They can't sin (or at least don't understand their doing it) so u can't send them to hell, but they can't pray, worship or believe in God so they can't go to heaven. That and what happens to all the people who where alive before Jesus? They were never told about God and Jesus hadn't been born so do they automatically go to hell? If they do God can't be that great of a being. You can't punish someone for a crime that wasn't a crime when they committed it.

Interesting question. According to the bible, you have to accept Jesus at the time of death and then you will be forgiven and allowed to paradise.  However, I find it very hard to believe that someone like Ghandi is going to hell. You can never do wrong by being a good, honest and kind person.

Some believe in heaven or hell, some it's reincarnation, some stick around on earth for various reasons.  My opinion is when you die you are gone.
