So scared

[Meadowflower]

I had an intrusive thought where I told the devil that he could have my dog. I began to panic that my dog was going to hell. After reading my bible, I found some scriptures that suggested that a loving god would never let an innocent animal go to Hell and in some scriptures it even suggested that all animals will go to heaven.

Then, a day later, I was sat watching a YouTube video when I thought to myself "What if I interpreted those passages wrong" I was watching a long video and only had 3% left on my phone battery so I said "God, if I have interpreted those passages correctly, let me get to the end of the video. If I have interpreted them wrongly, and my dog is going to hell, let my battery die before I get to the end of the video. My phone died before I got the video watched and now I am so scared that my dog is going to hell.

Intrusive thoughts are not your own. Ignore them. Don't give them any weight. Don't provide feedback.

The enemy is trying to trick you. Pray for strength to resist temptation.

Luke 22:39-40

39 Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and his disciples followed him. 40 On reaching the place, he said to them, “Pray that you will not fall into temptation.”

[BK1110]

Dogs and other animals do not have souls. They neither go to heaven or hell.

Just want to echo brother Learning's point above. Intrusive thoughts are an attack from the enemy. As long as we still have a sin nature, they will beset us. How you respond to them is what determines if you hate and fight them, as a Christian should, or not. Tell yourself, out loud if you need to, "NO! That is not true, that is not me anymore, God has conquered sin and death, and I will not let those thoughts stew in me and represent me anymore!" then carry on.

You can just charge ur phone instead of asking God to keep it on n watch later.

Better care for our neighbour's soul.

Yes brother a deceiving spirit can fool you just by interjecting the letter “ i “ into a thought, making it seem as if those thoughts were your own 

that’s why Paul tells us

2 Corinthians 10:5

We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God,and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

don’t let these unclean spirits deceive you, they have been around a long time and they are cunning, but keep to the word.

it is the truth gird yourself in the belt of truth, the first peice of gods armor is the truth so we don’t fall victim to tricks

2 Corinthians 2:11 

11 so that Satan will not outsmart us. For we are familiar with his evil schemes.?

Brother have confidence and trust in his word to set you free from these confusing thoughts

May I suggest you not get your theology from YouTube. There are many good teachings in Christian Middle Earth (www) but they are difficult to assess even for the most astute Bible reader.

I think you need other Christians to guide you as it seems you belief system is a bit odd and may be out in left field someplace behind the stands.

Ok two things.

 God does not make bargains/deal etc with us.

                                         He expects obedience to his commands.

 

Any attempt at bargaining with God, attempts to manipulate God to do 'my' will, to feel good about what I am doing is a lie of the devil.

                                             Don't do it.

 

Memorise 1John1:9 and practise it.
