The Lighthouse User ID: 1083248 Canada 03/17/2012 05:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Book of Enoch eh! lol here the deal buddy, the Book of Enock is like the book of Nastrodamus, and the Mayan Calendar, neither of them are fond in the Bible, an nor is the book of Enoch, as you well know. But as a Christian, I have the up most respect for all animals, they are creature of God given to us to take care of, which we have failed to do I will freely admit, but your claim for animal having souls hold no water here. Later buddy :-) |

A small percentage of god soul that is, let me explain, most of humanity have part god soul part animal soul, people that have a large percentage of animal soul are more violent verbally and physically and are drove by their earthly passions of sex and food. On the other hand, people with more god soul are more well mannered, smart and clever, care less about food, sex and ego. From my life experience I can give a few examples: Extremist Muslims that are easily controlled and behave like animals in every aspect have about 10% god soul, probably less. Dolphins, cats, dogs, whales, some breeds of monkeys have between 0.1%-3% god soul. Cattle and other mammals have about 0.1% or less. Birds, fish, insects have less than 0.01%. Vegetation have only trace amounts. |

They have a right for life, respect, bear arms and defend themselves if they need to. They don't have freedom of movement, no right for shelter, food and medical aid. They obviously have no right to vote and no legal right to sue a person in court. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 12229032 United States 03/17/2012 05:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Bible is pretty much silent on the issue of whether or not animals have souls. The christian community is divided on the issue too, some believe, and some don't. Quoting: Lisa*Lisa Well, time to put that issue to rest. Yes, animals have souls! The thousands of NDE's aren't proof positive for some believers because they don't believe in NDE's. Well then, this is for you. The Second Book of Enoch contains this testimony from Enoch, who was taken and shown Heaven and Hell, and everything in between. This is what he says regarding animals. Chapter 58 & 59 says: "The Lord will not judge a single soul of an animal for humanity's sake, but judges human should with regard to their animals in this world, as humans have a special place. Just as human should will not perish, neither will animals perish. Animals' soul will not perish, nor will and soul of an animal which the Lord created. At the great judgment, they will accuse people, if they have not fed them well. "Whoever defiles the soul of animals, defiles their own soul" So, what does that mean? It means that animals all have souls too that live on after the death of the body. It also says that the souls of animals are not judged because they had a lower position on the earth, they are not sinful because they were not human. It also means that if you abused an animal, the soul of that animal will testify against you in heaven before the Father on judgment day. The souls of all animals go to heaven, they are not judged, they are not sinful, and they will have a say on judgment day. Yes, God created all the animals and He called His creation "good". Not even one sparrow falls from a tree without Him knowing about it. So, if you're grieving over a lost pet, rest assured that the soul of that animal is alive and well in heaven. bUT Lisa , GODS word says , there will be NO DOGs in heaven. :love37457: :love7477: :love73643: :love74727: :love8346: :loaber366: :lkovew4747: :kitteh122523: :hadfhqer: :sheep6346: :kitteh643: |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 11961962 United States 03/17/2012 05:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don't understand how Christians, particularly Catholics, can be divided on this issue. Saint Francis is the patron saint of ANIMALS! His best friends were animals, he baptized animals, he said we shared a brotherhood with animals and that animals were to be loved and respected. So he, a Catholic Christian, would be the first to say that animals had a soul. I still can't believe how Christians or the church can be divided on this issue when one of our own saints believed animals were special and had a place in God's kingdom. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 12591602 Pretty clear to me Enoch was taken up to a space ship. That is why those books are not included in the bible. I agree Lisa even though the books of Enoch are not in the bible my spirit bears witness with them. Much info here. Good post. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 12683963 United States 03/17/2012 05:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm confused, the book of enoch isn't in the bible, I keep hearing that the books that were excluded from the bible were not the world of God, but you've used it as an example of animals having souls. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 12623942 Does this mean that we shouldn't eat animals? Well, you need to look at WHO decided that it shouldn't be included and WHY. Jesus's own brothers quoted from the Book of Enoch, so that's pretty much good enough evidence for it as far as I'm concerned. No, it does not mean that you shouldn't eat animals, but if you want to be a vegetarian, that's great. In the New Earth, in His Holy Kingdom, I don't believe we be eating animals. Why wouldn't we eat animals in the new kingdom?? He gave Noah the ok to eat meat. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1868091 United States 03/17/2012 05:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm convinced animals live on. My dog was staring at something in the bushes last year. She looked so pretty at full attention I took a pic of her. But when I got the pic back....what she was staring at was the ghost of a beagle! I showed this to some friends who said it must have been a dog standing there that I didn't see. I said no dog was there, I would have seen it and she would have chased it. I went back three days in a row to try to recapture what I had taken....could not be done. |
Manu-Koelbren User ID: 12677030 Spain 03/17/2012 05:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | yes animals have souls, many of you have been animals in past lives:) Quoting: hugs 10918646 some people probably would like to think they don't so that they would not feel bad about eating them... oh well, truth is truth and shall be known:) im not sure if every animal has a soul at this moment or if the soul arrives when an animal is loved or feels love... i feel that souls arrive into animals body when there is something to be experienced that is new...or when an animal is loved or has a chance to show love.. know what i mean? notice how an animal is just an animal until you show it some love then it comes to life? Same with humans, or do you think every human possesses a soul from the start? it has to be developed. Banned as usual. “It is far easier to be a weakling than to be a Real Man. Were the Earth less harsh or the circumstances of life less austere, man would destroy himself before the shrine of the languid goddess. Only Real Men can with safety destroy the tangled forests and wilderness of Earth and make from them gardens, but will those who inherit the gardens be Real Men? The law decrees that they must be, or the wilderness will reclaim its own.” |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 12684905 United States 03/17/2012 05:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Of course they do, I've had this debate with my siblings who think that only domesticated animals have souls... Yet I don't really understand how that could be and not the rest of the population of animals wild or domesticated. Hell plants do too, but on a different level than them and us. Insects too. If they didn't have a soul... would they be living today? Would they even feel pain? They all do on a different level than our understanding. To say otherwise is not only wrong but obtuse. We can clearly see that they're all affected by pain if their hurt and can clearly see that they have an understanding of affection on some level with their family, even non-family for some cases where the mother adopts a baby from a different species as their own. |

Manu-Koelbren User ID: 12677030 Spain 03/17/2012 06:06 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A soul is the living energy that is going through your body and brain to allow you to be alive and to have a consciousness of self. As energy doesn't die but it's transmuted, when your organic body rots, that energy continues on. In what form? well that's debatable, but the ancient mystics used to argue, very convincingly btw, that the soul passed onto another plane of existence. It's worth giving it a thought.
