I have created this topic as requested.

Will our pets be restored to us in heaven and/or on the New Earth? My answer is that the Bible seems to be silent on that. If you know of a Bible verse that answers this question, I am most interested that you share it.

Maybe we could take some time to consider what is meant by "the former things shall not be remembered nor brought into mind."

Evangelist Steve Wohlberg wrote a book about this very thing after he did research on the subject. He watched one day while his favorite little dog ran under the wheels of a truck. I understand that the book has been on sale at the ABC Stores. I have meant to look for it and I will now as soon as I can.

He feels that they will be and maybe he can give us his reasons in the book. Darius, yes, the Bible does say that the former things will be wiped away---Is this speaking in connection with our tears being wiped away because all of our loved ones will not be there?. If everything were forgotten then we would not even know the same loves that we have here on this earth--according to Sister White we will know one another. I know that we can not really know what heaven will be like. But we will have animals in heaven. "THe lion will lay down with the lamb"--or is that symbolic?. I don't know. But if, according to the Bible and Sr. White "we will have the joys of our heart"---well, just maybe!! I often say that I will not care about the mansions--I only want a block of green grass where my family and friends can all sit together and talk with Jesus. Think maybe I could also have my pets?

What is the title of this book?

Summertime, I just find it intriguing that we would think that we won't remember the illicit relationship we wanted to have with the nice looking human down the street but we will remember that we had a dog that liked to lick our face. Intriguing.

I thought it was only the evil and sinful acts that we would no longer remember.

I don't see anything evil and sinful about remembering our pets, therefore, I do believe we will remember them as we will remember and know one another in heaven and later on the New Earth.

There may be a problem between individuals and their pets, with idolatry of the pet. A safe example would be the mumified animals found in large numbers around egyptian gravesites while also remembering that the large part of the egyptian parthenon was half animal, half human.
There are today people who have distorted views of their pets aswell. In a school debate on values, someone told me that if being in a burning house and having an equal chanse of saving either their pet or a stranger (or even if it was easier to save the stranger), they would choose to save the pet and let the person burn.

(NOTE: I do not know nor do I claim that any of the above is true for anyone who has participated in this thread)

Could that also explain why there will not be marriages, weddings, etc. in heaven?

But then, that could become another topic in itself.
