If you are saved by accepting Jesus Christ into your heart. You will go to Heaven but only when Jesus returns to earth to claim his thrown. I am not sure of where it is but it says when Jesus returns the dead in Christ will rise. So when you die, time will cease so I it will seem like only an instance

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

In Islam, we believe any living thing has a soul, this includes animals and plants. And they have rights too. \n\nI don't think they have a Day of Judgement as they were not born with a logical mind the way human beings are. They don't have the mental ability to differentiate what is right and wrong. Therefore I believe animals go to heaven :)

Ofcoarse they go to heaven.I can't understand why God would send someone to 'hell' because they haven't heard of Jesus.

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.

The Bible says that we have a moral obligation to God, and that includes caring for animals.\n\nProverbs 12:10\nA righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.\n\nPsalm 8:3-8\n3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; \n4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? \n5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. \n6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: \n7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; \n8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

No.  I don't want to spend eternity in HELL!\n\nFor god so loved the world, he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believes in him shall not parish but have everlasting life.  John 3:16.\n\nThis my friend is the only way to heaven.  Right there in black and white.  In the only book that modern science and technology continue to prove to be non-fiction no matter how hard they try to make it fiction.

True Christians understand that heaven is the dwelling place of God and Jesus and the angels. Only a very tiny fraction from among mankind will be resurrected to heaven, and for a special purpose.\n\nThe EARTH is the proper dwelling place for humans and animals.\n\nJehovah's Witnesses, for example, note that Adam and Eve expected to live forever on earth. More than 99.9% of Jehovah's Witnesses profess the earthly hope (that percentage is literal, from their yearly "Memorial" commemoration).\n(Genesis 1:28) God blessed them and God said to them: “Be fruitful and become many and fill THE EARTH and subdue it [caps added]\n(Genesis 2:17) You must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die [so never eating from that tree means never dying]\n\nInterestingly, the Scriptures are full of references to this earthly hope.\n(Psalms 37:11) 'the meek will possess the earth'\n(Proverbs 2:21) 'upright will reside in the earth'\n(Isaiah 45:18) 'God formed the earth to be inhabited'\n(Matthew 5:5) 'the mild will inherit the earth'\n(Revelation 21:3) The tent of God is with mankind\n\nLearn more:\nhttp://watchtower.org/e/20001001/

Yes, they will go to heaven if they truly repent. It is hard for us to understand but that is God's plan. If we accept Him into our lives, even at the last minute, we will go to Heaven. This includes everyone.

Heaven is beyond the galaxy, but not in the physical sense that you could travel to the edges of the universe and reach it, it's more like...an alternate dimension or something I guess. I think that's the idea. Then again different religions have different ideas of religion, I'm sure some could be situated in areas where life is perfect, and therefore consider their current situation heaven. Who know.

Yes, if you do your good works on earth you get to go to the highest part of heaven and evolve into a god who then is married and can populate other planets.

There is only spiritual life after physical death for those who believe in Jesus Christ, and love and seek and work for His kingdom. The sheep, as the Bible calls them, will go to Heaven for all of eternity after physical death. The goats, as the Bible calls them, will go to the lake of fire, and burn in Hell for all of eternity. This is called the second death.

Jesus came as God in flesh, sent to cleanse us of our sin.\n\nBefore the time of Jesus, it was tradition to offer a sacrificial animal for the sins of a person or nation. The animal was symbolically paying the debt for everything the person/nation did wrong. In other words, the payment/punishment ("wages" as it is put in the Bible) for anything we do wrong is death. By offering an animal, as specified by God, that would count as payment.\n\nThe sins of the world, however, are great and many. This is no secret, of course. So, instead of offering animals all the time, God sent His only Son, Jesus, to serve as the ultimate sacrifcial lamb. His death served to pay for our sins, and his resurrection showed us that He has overcome death and will keep us saved, or "paid up."\n\nThe only way to be completely paid up is to become "saved"; that is, to accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior (accept his gift of sacrifice) and believe that He died and rose. It is also customary and commanded that we verbally acknowledge this, and follow Christ's example by being baptised (this is symbolic of dying to our old self and rising, cleansed, to a new life in Christ). \n\nYes, people are called to follow Him, but not all will choose to. Jesus is very clear that those who reject him will spend eternity in Hell, and those that accept Him will be protected by His blood and spend eternity in Heaven.\n\nHope that helps.  :)

No one goes to heaven when they die.  Only Jesus has ascended to heaven.  All dead, whether saved or unsaved, "sleep" until the resurrections, respectively.\n\n"And why dost Thou not pardon my transgression, and take away my iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust..." Job 7:21\n\n"So man lies down and does not rise. Till the heavens are no more, they will not awake nor be roused from their sleep." Job 14:12\n\n"If a man dies, shall he live again? All the days of my hard service I will wait, till my change comes." (Job 14:14)  Here we see that Job had some knowledge of the resurrection.\n\n"Consider and hear me, O LORD my God; enlighten my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death..." Psalm 13:3  David compares death to sleep.\n\n"As for me, I will see Your face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied when I AWAKE in Your likeness."  Psalm 17:15  David was aware that the dead IN CHRIST are changed in the twinkling of an eye to become LIKE CHRIST...incorruptible and immortal...when the first resurrection occurs at Christ's return.\n\nThis verse tells us that all dead sleep until the resurrections: "And many of them that SLEEP in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt."  Daniel 12:2 \n\n"NO MAN HAS ASCENDED TO HEAVEN but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven." (John 3:13)\n\nEveryone else will be resurrected, each in his order, babies included.  Through the miracle of resurrection, God brings back to life those who have died. (Revelation 20:4-5, Ezekiel 37:1-14, I Corinthians 15:20-54, I Thessalonians 4:15-16)\n\nSince Jesus Christ is the only way to the Father, an opportunity to hear and believe and be saved awaits those who resurrected after the millenium (the Great Last Day of the Feast, John 7:37-38, Revelation 21:6) \n\nAll will have the same opportunity to respond to God when all is said and done.  Many have already done so in this present age in which we live.  Some have believed and some have rejected.
