Roy Martin:
Thanks everyone. I think I can chew on that for awhile.

Silvia, animals are different in that they have no ability to reason..their brains while as intricate and complicated as ours are not as highly developed. they do not have a notion of right and wrong. They don't think ahead..they don't have regrets..they have no thought for tomorrow, most animals live in the moment. I personally believe that animals will always be a part of our lives even in the resurrection. It is my personal belief that God will restore our pets and animals that mean a lot to us..if the "whole creation groans..." then the whole creation feels the effect of sin and our fallen state..There may not be any scriptural proof for that, but it is my own personal opinion! :)

Hi Silvia,

Every living creature has the breath of life. 

Gen 7:15  And they went into the ark to Noah, two by two, of all flesh in which is the breath7307 of life.

H7307 ruach - breath, wind, spirit:

Gen 7:21 And all flesh ceased to breathe that moved on the earth, of birds and of tame-beasts and of wild-beasts, and of all the swarming things that swarm on the earth,—land all mankind.
v. 22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life of all that were on the dry ground died. (Rotherham)

Now I think like Kathy does, as animals are given only a rudimentary brain that works on instincts to survive. But for those of us who have pets we know there is more to animals than just functioning to sustain their lives and though the Bible says nothing about the resurrection of animals, I wonder...

mercy, peace and love

Deborah-Leigh:

The earth to which Christ will return, the earth that is sick, competitive, dangerous, dark, hostile, hateful and volatile,  is going to be re-newed. The birds to sing, bees to pollinate the flowers, and fish and beetles ants and horses and beautiful animal kingdom alongside the wolf that lies down with the lamb, the mosquitoes, spiders snakes and scorpions shall have no more poison as will the humans have no more to fear from their beast within.

When Gods Judgments are in the earth and the inhabitants are in the reign of Christ to learn His Righteousness under His judicial management ushering in His judgments of  our God, then  perfect love shall cast out fear, error and deception triumphing over death in all its shapes, forms and shadows. So what are you worried about? God is love. We shall not want.
