It means God will respect the laws of man.
We're dynamic and times change, and whatever we collectively decide to be moral and righteous behaviour or evil and immoral at different eras and cultures, God will use as a guideline for judgement in heaven.

Every thing in the universe has an opposite effect. Life has death, hate has love. This can even stem into ideologies in religion. If there is someone saint like on earth, there is someone equally dastardly above or below. It's just a booshy philosophy of explaining life.

Ok there's a slightly similar line in the bible I've mistakened this for. My bad.

This one is a prayer that God would bring heavenly conditions to earth.

duality, nigger

It means Heaven will be on earth.
It is called "The New Jerusalem" and it will be ruled by Jesus.
So, just believe in the life, death and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ: that he died for us so that we may live with him.
He lived a perfect life and was crucified on a cross in place of us all for our sins.
Only he could satisfy God's judgement on us cause God is a righteous God; a holy God that has to judge Sin and hate Sin.

You do realize how fantastically absurd this is, don’t you?

This nigga is reaching so hard. Why are so many people in this thread relating the phrase to religion this hard? The phrase has it's place in sacred shapes and a lot of other practices that are very ungodly. The only similarity that has been pieced between this phrase and religion is that god is also an ungodly man who practices hemeticism as well.

It means microcosm = microcosm

Look at our solar system with planets revolving...compare to the structure of molecules with orbiting electrons + protons, etc...

I'm not a scientist but that is what it means

Damn! I mean MACROCOSM vs. MICROCOSM

>it sounds dumb
The Bible is dumb, yes.

Because it's actually in the bible. Jesus says it, and that's what it means.
Yeah you're not wrong either, it has other roots but, it's in the bible and op posted a pic of Christ so that's what version of this will come to people's minds.

I figured that's what you meant. All good user

No nowhere in the bible is Jesus quoted saying "As above, so below." That is a popularized phrase coined by Hermes the Great that was later transferred into HIS own religion called Hermeticism. The religion itself has references of traditional western religion like orthodox Christianity but only to downgrade him and show him to be more of a scientific entity that believes in their ideology and theology. Don't twist religious scripture, my guy. MATHEW was the one stated saying: Set the world right; Do what's best - as above, so below. (New Testament, Gospel of Mathew) And for the record, this gospel is highly debated whether or not how accurate it is in eschatological accuracy. The one true religion that speaks accuracy on as above, so below is Hermeticism. His religion introduced the term far before the first testament was written, my guy.

this means the following:

Some Guy:
"YEAH UUUUH I can speak with god? and uh Im the only one that can! AND He told me to tell you to give m your money and not be selfish or you are going to hell! so you beter start building mynew ho-I mean Gods home with golden statues and all cause.. he only way to heaven is through me. You dont wan to go to hell dont ya?! Gooood now raise my throne plz slaves-I mean sheep? Yeah... Sheep.... Its a metaphor..... i guess...."

Far before the new testament*

That's not Biblical - it's occult bullshit from Hermes Trismegistus. It basically has to do with this idea that the spiritual and the physical are sort of opposing planes, one not really higher than the other. If the planes are beside each other and completely permeable to one another, spiritual beings can interact with us just like we can interact with the spiritual world. The teaching of Christianity is that spiritual beings (angels) are higher than us in the order of creation and can step into our world but we cannot step into theirs because we lack the faculties. We have spirits, and spiritual things affect us, but we do not affect spiritual realities. The idea that we do is the basis for occult, and even the basis for ideas that serve as the precursor for psychology, such as the Jungian collective unconscious.

The occult promises the inquisitive the same thing that Satan promised Eve in the Garden of Eden. In his lies, he promised Eve three things - that she would not die (immortality), that her eyes would be opened (secret knowledge), and that she would be as a god (transcendence). All of it's bullshit of course that will hurt you, so tell peddlers of occult nonsense to fuck off.

this guy is right

im sure god exists, positive he or she does... I just... every time I see humanity trying to make sense of God... its sickening how often we just stop trying to be good and start taking advantage...
The bible was probably Gods own words... I mean I wasnt there either to see it.. BUT ne thing is for sure, Gods hand didnt come down from the heaves holding a giant quill to write a book... it was written by man... for man...

God: And everyone is equal, with the power of unconditional love!!

Man: *scribbles* And all white men are equal, no animals in bed.... (damn it FREDDY...) .. and no same sex marriages cause its evil... we are superior to every creature on earth... everything is limitless... cause you made us that way.. *scribbles*

God: I didnt say that! Unconditional love is not evil

Man: AAh Satan took over the line!! Away demon!!

God: *Sigh* y- you figure it out... *leaves*

Man: Im so glad you are still here God ad that im the only one that hears you with the book that YOU yourself wrote to lead these people!

*facepalm*

I always thought that it sounded like a Russian guy. Asabov Sobelow.

I thought it meant "On Earth as it is in Heaven."
