ALL Catholics are CHRISTIANS...\n\nin the same way as all dogs are ANIMALS.\n\nPeople who say Catholics aren't Christians...\ndon't understand the meaning of both words.

How sad for you.  I don't believe in all these human classifications of who or what goes to heaven: I believe all living things have a soul and therefore go onwards.  Of course you will see your ferret again!  If my pets have ceased to exist, then I hope to do so, too - I ain't going anywhere they don't!  (It might be that all those who assert that animals don't have souls will populate something other than heaven themselves, as their love seems to be limited and somewhat lacking in humanity.)

The Parable of Lazarus represents what awaits for those who have been greedy & not given a single thought to their fellow human beings while they were on earth.\n\n A similar explanation is told in the Gospel according to St. Matthew chapter 25, verses 31-46, when Christ Speaks of Judgement Day, & how people will be Rewarded or Punished, depending on how they treated humanity during their lifetime in the world.\n\n Back during Christ's Time, dogs in the Middle East were look down upon, on almost on the same level as pigs(they still are, out in the Middle East, in fact). So when Christ Described "dogs came to lick at Lazarus'sores," He Was Giving a direct example of just how destitute Lazarus was.\n\n The chasm was the divide between Heaven & Hell. The souls of the Damned could not escape & enter into Heaven, & likewise, the souls of the Saved could not enter into Hell to Save lost souls.\n\n "The tongue," was used to illustrate how thirsty the Damned soul was, & only "the drop of water" from Heaven could quench his thirst.

it has nothing to do with religion - it is a retailing / media hype.\nwe are the sheep who follow their lead.

I believe in God. But that has no relevance on a dogs intelligence. I know that when I say lay down they understand me. When they bark I have no clue of what they are saying. So in a sense they may have one up on me.

Interesting that you should ask....Jacques Cousteau had made some very interesting observations on the subject. He noted that dogfish do indeed wag their tails when happy. More interesting tho was the fact that catfish purr when pleased and sea horses jumped for joy. Star fish glow at the thought of a visit from you, and on occasion a clam will show his mussels with pride.\n\nIf there's one thing I know, Cousteau otter know his fishes.

It is the duty of every real christian to pull master down from the cross (before he dies). That is what he expects of his disciples. Hanging him up there to get your butt into heaven is not very nice. We really need to save christ. He is surrounded by dogs and other common animals and we have to help the fellow out. Is there even one christian who would lend a hand? Didn't think so.

It is called coryphagia (or similar, not sure spell check will get it) and it is due to a couple of possible reasons.  One is their incredible ability to smell can actually scent nutrients left in scat of wild animals and other dogs, or even in their own excrement.  Two has to do with the instinctive role as predators.  By ingesting waste from other animals, they may be able to mask or alter the scent of their natural wastes, thus aiding them in hiding their presence in an area.  Three, the dog may have some sort of nutritional imbalance it is looking to rectify in this way.  This may also be indicated by eating of plant leaves, which tends to indicate the dog senses something wrong in its digestive tract.\n\nAnd the final possible reason....dogs can be strange and gross and this is right up their with their obsessive licking of their genitals!  Now come over here and give sweet woogums a big sloppy kiss!

Cool.  I have a neighbor with two Rottweilers also.  I'm not sure how to answer your question about God being a Great Dane.

It's because it makes their fur stick to them and they hate the feeling of it. It has to do with the way the fur mats up. I am not sure why!

The dogs would go crazy over ANYONE who came door-to-door with Christian Good News. It's just that no one else comes.\n\nGlobally, it is significant that only Jehovah's Witnesses who perform this necessary Christian work with every active member. This is one of the clearest identifiers of the Witnesses as the only true Christians on earth today:\n\n(Matthew 28:19,20) Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you

I'm not certain but perhaps it's because Pentocostals are so overly charismatic that they have taken the whole spiritual gifts thing and have taken it way out of context. (i.e. snakes, tongues, etc.) They have twisted and distorted the Word of God to fit their own needs and purposes and have caused great confusion within the Body of Christ.

Cindy, thank you for your provocative question.  It would be refreshing to hear honest and sincere debate and discourse.  Instead, there is an over abundance of "name-calling", "vulgarity", and "rage".  Often we treat and speak to our dog better than the President of the United States or in reference to our Creator. Neither Democrats or Republicans are "idiots" though we sometimes behave as such and God is alive and well and still putting up with our "un-like" God behaviors.

According to the Christian bible Jesus got angry and turned over tables in a synagogue and he also whipped people for selling birds. God does not behave like this and it contradicts Jesus' teaching according to that same bible. The doctrine of Jesus being "fully man and fully god" was not believed by the early Christians and the Roman church came to this conclusion by voting. That's right, let's vote to determine what god is. f that.
