Animals in the Presence of God? (heaven etc.)

[webdog]

Yes there where animals saved from the flood but Noah went and brought them into the ark without there concent.

I always thought God brought the animals to the ark...

MY Bible says man is the only one who "became a living soul".
No animals in Heaven, but there will be many on the New earth.

Where is the distinction made between New Earth and Heaven? They will be one in the same.
I believe the Bible when it says "ALL creation groans". What are they groaning about if it will not lead to redemption for them?

Web,

I am not really entering the thread in debate but thought I would answer your first question.

Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

I am not sure if John saw a totally new creation or that with our earth and atmosphere done away with the next level reveals what is already there.

Just a thought that has nothing to do with animals, although a new earth would suggest it is created like the old earth with all her amenities except Satan and sin.
