If you believe in an afterlife, what happens to worms when they die?

Don’t they move up from worms to eaters of worms. It’s we who should worry about demotion to worms next time for our behavior this time.

Ultimately they become Catholic because of Martin Luther’s being declared an outlaw and a heretic after the Diet of Worms in 1521.

Good grief!

Worms, snakes and centipedes go to a special kind of hell.
I think flies and roaches are there too.
Dogs, cats, horses, all bears and other furry creatures go to a special good place with special, good humans.

They go to Hell, “Where the worm dieth not, and the fire is never quenched…” (Mark 9:44).

The worms die and thus gives life to the earth.
Every creature sustains the earth in some way, life continues evolving to sustain its existence.

But what happens to their souls @Inspired_2write?

@Dutchess_III
They go onto another dimension of existence as every living thing ..just because we don’t see it doesn’t mean that its dead.
Its only dead to our senses and our limitations to understand .
Example: Our Ancestors walk among us, but we are not able to see them in our limited understanding.
There are many dimensions of existence and probably levels that life transcends to.

Interesting. Primitive, but interesting.

They go to worm heaven. Just like Mormons go to Mormon heaven, Catholics to Catholic heaven, Jews to Jewish heaven, drunks to bar heaven, smokers to tobacco heaven, bachelors to bachelor heaven, and so on.

I have no place to go!!

If you are wanting a serious answer,

All living creatures are souls, or Neshama.

Adam became a living soul, or Neshama, when God gave Adam the Breath of Life, or Nefesh in Hebrew, That was lost at the fall, and restored or replaced with the Holy Spirit when a person receives Christ.

So the Bible doesn’t specify about the eternal state of animals and other living things.
I agree pretty much with @chyna that sentient animals probably do have a place in the New Heaven and New Earth—and when doing funerals for beloved companion animals, as a minister, I merely thank God for the animal and the times we had with him/her—and commend their souls to God. Its just a special blessing I give and not anything sanctimonious I DO believe that God can and will ressurrect our beloved companion animals as we also await resurrection to bodies incorruptable, imperishable, immortal.

Most animals never even think about death or eternity, but sentient animals do grieve. And although humans are uniquely made in God’s image, God loves all creatures and gives them whatever place God gives them. We can really only know about ourselves, and thank God for other created things.
