Yes,I see us all,(but esp. us humans,who are made in His image)..as being a part of Him..literally..that God removes a part of Himself when He creates another living being.So just as God is eternal,so are ALL of the living things He creates;thus,they will *have to go back to Him at some point,there is no other option.
I suspect that ppl who don't like the idea of animals being in heaven are not keen on the idea that God will take everyone back...thus,if animals are there,then how could God send ppl to hell? people are not above the animals..so they reason that there must not be aniamls in heaven.

God not bringing all of creation full circle and back to Himself is akin to God shooting Himself in the foot...there would be parts of Him missing.I suspect He's smarter than that.

No Sexual relations in Heaven...... from Matthew 22: 23-33........ They asked ``In the resurrection whose wife will she be of the seven brothers [which was a custom to marry again in the family]... Jesus said ``You do error not knowing the scriptures nor are given in marriage , but are as the angels of God in Heaven..... but as touching the resurrection of the dead have you not read that which is spoken to you by God saying ....`I am the God of Abraham and the God of Issac, and the God of Jacob?...God is not the God of the dead but of the God of the Living``.............See none will be married in Heaven, and there is no sexual relations outside of Marriage in the earth before the Lord, the relations in Heaven will be sex less that sex organs may not exist, and relations will be cordial....

I'm not so sure about that.

David, Solomon and just about every other King of Israel kept a horde of concubines to which they were not married, but with whom they had sexual relations, yet it was not judged to be adultery.

I'm not suggesting keeping concubines is alright with God today, or even that it's a good idea. I'm just making an observation.

Yes, but what about the "new earth"?

Personally, I think God didn't create the vast cosmos for nothing. There are trillions of galaxies out there just begging to be populated with saints. I think it is a distinct possibility that God will offer us a choice between remaining in a disembodied state (spirit) and remaining in heaven, or taking on a body similar to what Adam and Eve had when they were created (remember their bodies were designed to live forever as long as they did not sin) and taking up residence in the galaxy of your choice with a spouse tailor-made for you and in a one-on-one relationship with God as Adam and Eve had, while populating the galaxies for all eternity. In this new heavens and earth there will be no sin and all things will continue as they should have before the fall. As the universe continues to expand the children will eventually branch out and populate those new galaxies and on and on. Can you imagine a universe with a population of a decillion to the decillionth power singing out praise to our Glorious God? And that's just for starts!

Now there's a figure that "no man can number"!

I think if that were the case, I think God should reverse it and make the males go through the pregnancies, birth etc. That would be funny.
It's easy to think of this whole populating the cosmos thing, when you are a male...

just sayin'....

yes, just look at the big family shows out there nowadays...hey 15-20 kids is nothing. ..nothing like treating a woman like she's nothing but a baby machine,pump 'em up n crank em out...God has no other use for us.
