2 Kings 2:11
King James Version

11 And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.

Ecclesiastes 3:21
King James Version

21 Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?

Ecclesiastes 12:7
King James Version

7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

In 2 Kings 2:11.It looks like were are dealing with the spirit of animals.And in Ecclesiastes 3:21.The person writing Ecclesiastes 3:21.Is asking were the spirit of humans and animals go at death.And in Ecclesiastes 12:7 it answers that question.I think this answers if animals and humans end up together in the afterlife:

2 Corinthians 5:6-9
King James Version

6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:

7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight

8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.

 

[John53]

If they don't I'll be refusing to go. I don't want to be stuck with a bunch of humans for eternity.

 

[Secret Chief]

If they don't I'll be refusing to go. I don't want to be stuck with a bunch of humans for eternity.

Me too. I'll be checking the guest list very closely.

Although I reject what the Bible claims about the afterlife and what will happen to people after they die, I still believe that there are animal spirits coexisting with human spirits in the spirit realm. I believe that the spirit world is very different than Christians envision.

" 2 Corinthians 5:6-9, King James Version "*

Why get mislead and got deviated from the way of (Jesus) Yeshua- the Israelite Messiah, as it appears, and prefer to quote from the Hellenist- Paul's epistles " 2 Corinthians 5:6-9 "*, please?
Does one find any lacking in (Jesus) Yeshua- the Israelite Messiah, to justify it, please? Right?
* "2 Corinthians 5:6-9" is not from Jesus:

Holy Bible King James Version (Red Letter Edition)
The Roman Catholic Holy Bible with the words of Jesus in red.
World Messianic Bible

Right?

If they don't I'll be refusing to go. I don't want to be stuck with a bunch of humans for eternity.

I don't even want to be stuck with a bunch of humans now.

 

[Trailblazer]

Me too. I'll be checking the guest list very closely.

No cats, no go.

 

[Secret Chief]

No cats, no go.

Exactly.

Different religions use different terms, but All that experiences a perspective on being, returns to source.

I know you don’t like to debate, and I respect that. But I do have a few questions…..

Although I reject what the Bible claims about the afterlife and what will happen to people after they die, I still believe that there are animal spirits coexisting with human spirits in the spirit realm.

What do you think the Bible says happens to people after they die?
(I ask your POV because, obviously, different people have different ideas about what the Bible really teaches … sometimes completely opposite POV’s)

I’m curious, have you experienced (interacted with) spirit entities in the form of animals? And if so, we’re they otherworldly, like the Hounds of the Baskervilles with red eyes type, or normal-looking domesticated pet types?
I realize how that question sounds, but I’m serious I’m not scoffing; I completely believe your interactions with these spirit entities are genuine.

I believe that the spirit world is very different than Christians envision.

In what ways?
And I would qualify your statement by saying “some / most” Christians.

There are some wild ideas out there!

If you don’t mind, I’ll explain my POV next.

I hope you are having a good day, my cousin. Be safe.

I sent you a private message.

I don't even want to be stuck with a bunch of humans now.

I have a feeling that your spirit will be strong enough for you to go wherever you choose in the spirit realm.

No cats, no go.

I don't think you will have to worry about that, my friend.

 

[Muffled]

I believe one may envision an animal in the afterlife but it is not their spiritually.

 

[Muffled]

If they don't I'll be refusing to go. I don't want to be stuck with a bunch of humans for eternity.

I believe then you will be pleased to be alone in Hell.

 

[Muffled]

Me too. I'll be checking the guest list very closely.

I suppose you will not worry about who has been naughty or nice.

 

[John53]

I believe then you will be pleased to be alone in Hell.

woohoo, introvert heaven.

 

[Trailblazer]

I believe one may envision an animal in the afterlife but it is not their spiritually.

What do you mean by that, it is not there spiritually?
How then do you believe the animal is there in the afterlife?
I believe that animals have a spirit and that continues to exist after their body dies, but that is different from the human soul.

 

[Trailblazer]

I believe then you will be pleased to be alone in Hell.

If he went to hell, he would not be alone, he would have plenty of company.

".... they that live in error shall be seized with such fear and trembling, and shall be filled with such consternation, as nothing can exceed…"
Gleanings From the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 171

I believe that Baha'u'llah is describing hell, which is not a geographical location, but rather a state of the soul.
I believe that 'they that live in error' are not nonbelievers, they are people who commit heinous crimes against their fellow men, like rapists and murderers.

 

[Trailblazer]

woohoo, introvert heaven.

woohoo, I will join you, since I am also an introvert.
There had better be animals there though, or I am not going.
