Animals - Do animals have spirits or souls?

Описание: http://www.biblebro.net/do-animals-ha...
Some people say animals have a spirit but not a soul, some say they have a soul but not a spirit. Men are made up of a body, a spirit, and a soul. Check out the verses below to see how animals also have a spirit and a soul.

Ecclesiastes 3:21 -- "Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?"
[spirit] -- H7307 -- translated as "spirit" and "breath". Everything that has breath has spirit. In Strong's Concordance, translation D says "spirit (of the living, breathing being in man and animals)". Compare this also with Genesis 1:2, "the Spirit of God".
[beast] -- H0920 -- translated as any animal, domesticated or wild, cattle, livestock, etc.
[the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth] -- It's not only the body of animals that go in the earth, it's also their spirits. Does this mean that our dogs, cats, and other pet's spirits will go down to hell? That the spirit becomes nothing? One thing is for sure; the spirit of a man and animal differ.

Animals Have a Soul

Mark 8:36 -- "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?"
[soul] -- G5590 -- translation 2A defines soul as, "the seat of the feelings, desires, affections, aversions (our heart, soul etc.)" Do animals have feelings? Desires? Affections? Yes. My dog feels happy to see me, desires to eat food, and shows affection to the whole family. For a more biblical example, look at the snake in the garden. Even the snake sinned due to its desires (Gen 3:21). The conclusion is that animals have souls.

Spirits & Souls Are Not the Same

Hebrews 4:12 -- "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."
[dividing asunder of soul and spirit] -- just like the joints and the marrow aren't the same, neither are the soul and spirit. For more evidence on the soul and spirit being different, see Isa 42:1, Matt 12:18, & 1Th 5:23.
