”Suggestion to persons entering heaven: leave your dog outside. Heaven goes by favor. If it went by merit, you would stay out and the dog would go in.”

Does favor mean simply that people understand, or have the ability to understand, what is in the the Bible and what is expected of them. Dogs do not have that ability. They are born with it instilled in them beforehand, by God, to be kind, loving, loyal, and that’s just who they are. They don’t have to think about it. Are there dangerous dogs out there? Some who have to be put to sleep? Yes there are, but by no fault of their own They had the misfortune of ending up with a human who was that who abused them, starved them, kept them chained or in a cage, put them in fighting games where they had to kill or be killed. Do you know how they were trained for these games?? They were starved and beaten for days before the fight to make them mean and aggressive. So yes!!! There are dangerous dogs out there! But they were NOT born that way. Humans made them that way. Dogs are not born with a mean bone in their body. They are instinctively good, loving, big hearted animals who would die protecting their family. Thats simply who they are. Not who they know they SHOULD be. So all dogs will go to heaven. Humans who know right from wrong and choose wrong, well that’s up to God.Therefore humans go to heaven by merit and dogs go to heaven by favor
