Animals Have Souls Series

Another key verse for truth is Proverbs 12:10, “Whoever is righteous has regard for the life of his beast…” The Hebrew for life in this passage is the same Hebrew word (?????? nep_eš) translated as soul in Psalm 74:19. The great communitarian Matthew Henry tells us, [the righteous looks out for and takes care of the animals put under his stewardship] “because they are God’s Creatures.” In regard to the wicked [unsaved] who do not have a right heart “Their pretend kindness are only cover for purposed cruelties.” (Henry, M. (1994). Matthew Henry’s commentary on the whole Bible: complete and unabridged in one volume (p. 980). Hendrickson.)

The Holy Scriptures gives us clear teaching animals have souls. Our Biblical teaching Do Furry Friends Await Us (CrossRoads Messages) teaches we will see our beloved pets and other animals in heaven.
