Dogs: Why Don’t They Fear Man? Did they not get the memo in Genesis 9?

Cliffside Community Chapel

We begin 1 Corinthians 15:39 and Genesis 2:22. This is about animals. Adam maned the Woman and Adam named all the animals. Add in 1 Corinthians 15:42-44. This is the resurrection of the animal body, or the natural body, and there is a physical body and a spiritual body being resurrected here. Look at verses 44 and 45. We're talking about the glory of these resurrected bodies as both a natural body and a spiritual body. We'll have a completely different body when we are resurrected. Our resurrection impacts all creation. That's in Romans 8:18-24. Now we proceed to Exodus 11:7 and more to find out why the dogs will not bark. And we go to the woman of Canaan in Matthew 15:21-28, and the little dog at the Master's table. We've got children and puppies... what better company is there. And God compares the woman to a pet dog, and that's a good thing because, God declares, Great is her faith. She believed in the goodness and compassion of God. But who are the wicked that are doomed? Now, we know from Genesis 9:2 that animals should have a fear and a dread of man... but the dogs didn't get the memo. Why does the dog love mankind? Why does the dog have unconditional love for man? Where does that come from? God has decreed it. In the Exodus the Israelite's had incorporated dogs into their daily lives and they did not alert the Egyptians to the departure of the Israelites. We end with the true story of the rich man and Lazarus. And the rich Pharisee was evil and Abraham knew it. And the Garden of Paradise gets moved to Heaven after Christ's death on the cross. This is Eden.Finally... what is required to be glorified. And the dogs of Eden went with it to Heaven.
