The laws of heaven and the laws of the world

There are laws in heaven and on earth. The laws of heaven were created by God, but the laws of the world were created by the people of the earth. The laws of heaven are recorded in the 66 books of the Bible, but the laws of the world are recorded in law books. There are judges that pass judgment according to the laws of heaven and judges that pass judgment according to the the laws of the world. The judge of heaven is the one who has mastered the laws of heaven, which are the 66 books of the Bible. Worldly judges, on the other hand, have mastered the laws of the world, which are recorded in law books. Only those who have mastered the law are qualified to be judges. Obviously, the law and the judge are different. If a judge misunderstands the law and misuses it, the blame falls solely on the judge—the law is not at fault. This mistaken judge must himself be punished according to the law. This is the same logic applies to the law of heaven and the laws of the world.

Religion and eternal life

God, the one and only creator of heaven and earth, also created true religion. True religion was not created by philosophers or through endless studies. Since the main point of religion is eternal life, religion without eternal life is meaningless. Is this eternal life referring to life for our physical bodies or for our spirits?

God created all things in heaven and on earth; he formed men and women in his image and likeness (Gn 1:1, 26-27). People who are created in God’s image, must also be gods.
