Re: Did God make animals wrong?

i had a ferret that would steal jewelery from me even though i taught it, it was wrong to steal and hide them... my ferret simply changed his approach and became sneakier and changed his hiding spot... it was aware when i caught him and it would get sad or pretend it didnt do it...
it knew it was wrong b/c he would hide when i would find out what he had bn up too by simply watching what i had discovered..i had no need to raise my voice in order to illicit a response from it..
overall my question is this if god simply smiles at the animals actions and simply finds it amusing shouldnt he feel the same way when we humans do it too?
also anybody think animals should go to heaven too?
Well, here's what I've gathered:
"20And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
21And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
22And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
23And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
24And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
25And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good."
So, if animals do anything that is "wrong" (I don't believe they have a concept of good and evil like we do; only things that affect their own well being, i.e. they aren't sad when someone is murdered) then I blame the sin curse.

dont eat this dont eat that.. they were "unclean".also only animals without blemish may be offered to the lord..
all these things would mean they were not perfect contradictory to god's supposed action and statements.
Or it meant the priest class (upper class) wanted only the best meat.

what was the point of god creating mosquitos ?
Mosquitoes, flies, etc. are pestilence, and pestilence is because of the sin curse.
This topic is actually kind of pointless, because animals were only perfect when God first created them. Anything that you see today is after the sin curse, and has fallen from perfection.
