6 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.
7 The cow will feed with the bear,
their young will lie down together,
and the lion will eat straw like the ox.
8 The infant will play near the cobra’s den,
and the young child will put its hand into the viper’s nest.
9 They will neither harm nor destroy
on all my holy mountain,
for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Lord
as the waters cover the sea.
寵物嘅離世令我意外地傷心.
以前, 總以為自己唔會太attached, 可以用一種"
動物啫..." 嘅態度去面對.
無奈, 人心肉造, 一隻日日都見嘅生物突然冇咗, 點會唔感到失落, 難過, 空虛...
難過當中, 令我思考 "
動物會唔會上天堂?" 呢個問題.
首先, 動物係上帝喺創世記完美創造嘅一部份. 既然天堂係要把創造都恢復至原有嘅完美, 咁天堂係應該有動物嘅.
其次, 聖經冇詊細講到(又或者我睇漏眼)動物有冇靈魂, 但既然動物都會有性格, 脾性, 我相信佢哋係有嘅.
但即使有靈魂, 動物並唔係 "照著自己(上帝)的形像" 而造, 所以唔會以人類嘅標準被審判.
只可以借用 David 既傷痛但帶著希望嘅一句:
