Heaven must have an ocean as well. Every sould that dies(unless maybe they're a hardcore Satan worshipper) goes to Heaven. Fish die, sharks die, Jaws died 4 times(and give Jaws a break, he only killed people because he/she was a shark), mermaids, eels, whales, Megalodons, etc.
I think that Heaven must be a super vast place with everything available in it with all the variety that Earth has and more and I don't think you'll have to worry about being cast out just because you say a swear word or you chuck darts with pointy metal tips at a nearby angel and I know that nobody goes to Hell and stays there for eternity. I don't believe anybody goes to Hell for eternity.
I believe Heaven HAS TO BE more than just staying on your knees worshipping and serving God.

It will absolutely be more than we can imagine. Read Heaven by Randy Alcorn. It will fascinate you.

I believe everything good will be there not everyone will be worshipping all the time and all the plants and animals that have gone extinct will have their place there. I think maybe dreams will be real there and if you choose to look like a mermaid you could be one there. I think there will be whales and fish and sharks. Sharks are friendlyier if they are fed and they are not inherantlly mean like people think they are, but you never want to push there nature.
However I do think Hell is a perminant place for those people that are truely evil and there are some people that perfer to be that way, but they have a good way of punishing themselves.
The cool thing with God is he gives us choices to believe what ever we wish to. When we get to heaven that's when we will know what it is trully about and we will never have to ask why we will just know. Hey if I never get to meet you in this life it will be cool to see you in heaven. Have fun I'll proably be water creature too when you get there.

i believe heaven is a gift from God. it is His gift back to you for loving and sharing His love. when you get there you will no longer feel the need to swear, cry, or anything bad we are tempted to do here on Earth. I dont believe you can go to Heaven just form being a good person even though i wish you could. i believe it will be filled with mansions and streets of gold and yeah i bet there is an ocean how could there not because that is one of the prettiest thing this world has to offer us to look at.

It's an interesting question that you have posed.
Your first premise seems to be that there are elements of the physical body that go with you to eternity. Otherwise, why does a soul need an ocean?
You also seem to be distinguishing between beings that can make conscious choices of belief in God (or non-belief in the case of a hard core Satan worshiper) and those that can not (such as Jaws) as criteria for entering heaven because you do give yourself the caveat that 'okay, some people may go to hell.' If you focus only on those groups that can make a conscious choice of belief or disbelief, why would the hard core Satan worshiper NOT go to hell and stay there? If they love Satan, wouldn't being with him for eternity in hell be, in fact, their heaven and an eternity in heaven with God their hell?
Ultimately, the possibility that they could leave hell at all is based on an assumption that God will let just anyone into his house. And if he would, why? What is it about our concept of God that includes the idea that he will let anyone into his presence - particularly for eternity? Is it because of the whole 'God is love' idea? If that is the case, then we need to rethink our understanding of love. Can't God's love can include allowing someone the choice to go to hell for eternity to be with the one that they love (ie Satan) rather than being with him? I believe that ultimately, the choice, as a being that can make a choice, is mine. Who do I want to spend eternity with and what am I willing to do to be with them? It's about who I love.
You stated in your question that you "know that nobody goes to Hell and stays there for eternity." On what information do you base that statement?

There doesnt need to be an ocean. If what I believe from Church (Christian) we wont need anything anymore, except for love of God. We could fly if we wanted to so I am guessing that sharks and stuff could walk if they wanted to. God rewards those so I am guessing he will be nice enough to let people move the way they want. And you do know Jaws wasnt a real shark right? Thats called animal abuse if they actually blew a real one up.

You really dont need to know what Heaven is like, simply because we are not going there. In the Bible, it states that the overcommers and believers would join Him in the new millenium (sp?). This means that, at the end of the world, a new world will start where we will be able to sit at a table and feast with the Lord.

There are many who believe that animals do not possess souls. So if you follow that you would not need an ocean. But you are right, heaven is suppossed to be very large, I had a pastor who calculated the size based on passages in Revelations. I don't remember exactly how big it was but it was enormous.

I think Heaven is just like Earth, except its way more peaceful and nicer, cleaner, and brighter for us that go to Heaven. Our loved ones that are resting in peace know what its like, and when its our time, we'll know, unless some of us go to hell, but I know I'll go to Heaven.

According to the Bible Heaven is in no way comparable to earthly things. There will also be knee bending and worshipping of God..........
