Pastor Hoffman,

Does Genesis 6:17 prove that animals are eternal spirits?

It says that God would take away every life that has breath of life in it. In order, after the fall, for someone sinless like an animal to have the breath of life in it, it would be eternal because of their sinlessness, right?

I say this not because I doubt animals are eternal spirits, but to share with others, of course.

I try to explain to people through the scripture that just because animals don't need to be saved doesn't mean their spirits aren't eternal...they are the spirits that don't need to be saved because they are blameless already.

How else could they take the place of Jesus for the remission of sin before he came, correct?
