Hell, that's all I wanted was shared time.  I'm looking out the window at two 
lovely fjords and feeling pretty cheery -- but opinionated to the end.  I 
don't insist people agree with me, just for the right to be me.   And I'll 
always listen to someone else's opinion.  (Well, almost always).  Gail

Re: not talking about religion with strangers: I kind of think we are not 
strangers and that we had already agreed to disagree and not be so strict about 
the topics. This one is about horses, although in a more abstract way.

Though not a theological scholar, I'll add my 2 cents to the current
theological debate:

1st...there are the 4 horses of the Apocalypse; they come down from Heaven;
white horse (Revelation 6:2; Rev. 19:11&14), red horse (Revelation 6:4),
black horse (Rev. 6:5), and a pale horse (Rev. 6:8).  Whether they died
first and went to Heaven or are created in Heaven isn't implied or
stated...but, clearly, they're there.

2nd... Isaiah 11:6:9 and Isaiah 65:25 both talk about the way things will be
when the Messiah establishes a new earth:  "The wolf will live with the
lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the
yearling together; and a little child will lead them.  The cow will feed
with the bear, their young will lie down together, and the lion will eat
straw like the ox.  The infant will play near the hole of the cobra and the
young child put his hand into the viper's nest.  They will neither harm nor
destroy on all my holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge
of the Lord as the waters cover the sea."

3rd...Concerning the murder of man Genesis 9:5 says:  "And for your
lifeblood I (God) will surely demand an accounting.  I will demand an
accounting from every animal.  And from each man, too, I will demand an
accounting for the life of his fellow man."   The assumption seems to be
that animals answer in the next life, therefor, they must have a next life.

4th...Animals were created by God in the Garden of Eden and were declared
"Good" by God BEFORE the fall of man. (Genesis 1:31)

5th...God uses animals in describing His own Son, Jesus...Lamb of God (Rev.
5:6, John 1:29) and the Lion of Judah (Revelation 5:5).   While these are
used figuratively, they imply that God holds animals in a place of favor.

While not willing to be martyred for this facet of my beliefs, I do believe
the above Scriptures provide a compelling argument for animals in Heaven.
