외재적인 초월적 하나님(God outside the body vs 내재적인 화체된 하나님(God inside the body)

[석수]

The distinction between God being "outside" or "inside" the body is often understood as God's omnipresence and spiritual nature (outside the body) versus the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in believers (inside the body).

God is considered a spirit who is everywhere, existing beyond physical location and material form. However, for those who are believers, God is also present "inside" through the Holy Spirit, making the human body a temple for God.

God outside the body

Omnipresent and spiritual: God is a spirit without a physical body and is understood to exist everywhere, transcending the limits of any single location

Transcendent creator: This view sees God as the external, transcendent creator of the universe who is separate from but also omnipresent within creation.

Worship: This perspective aligns with teachings that God cannot be restricted to one physical location and must be worshipped in spirit and truth.

God inside the body

Indwelling Spirit: In many Christian traditions, God's Spirit, the Holy Spirit, comes to live inside believers after they accept faith in Christ.
Temple of God: The human body is considered a "temple of the Holy Spirit"

Purpose of the body: This belief gives believers a new purpose for their bodies: to be used for God's glory and to glorify Him through their actions.

A call to care for the body: Because the body is seen as a temple, this belief also implies a responsibility to care for it, as damaging it is seen as harming a sacred space.

■ 외재적인 초월적 하나님


기독교의 하나님은 이 곳 저 곳 모든 곳에 내재되어 있는 신이 아니다. 즉 기독교는 다신교적인 만유내재신론(萬有內在神論)이 아니며 이 세계는 천지자연(天地自然)하지 않다고 본다. 곧 우주는 스스로 그러하지 않고 하나님이 주관하는 피조물인 것이다.




■내재적인 화체된 하나님


至氣今至願爲大降
지기금지원위대강

I wish for the ultimate energy to now descend in abundance from on high.

시천주 조화정

영세불망 만사지


"시천주(侍天主)"는 문자 그대로 **"하늘님(天主)을 모신다(侍)"**는 뜻으로, 모든 사람의 몸 안에 하느님(또는 한울님)이 내재해 있다는 동학(東學) 및 천도교의 핵심 교리입니다. 영어 표현 "god in body"는 이 사상의 핵심을 잘 나타냅니다.
이 교리의 주요 내용은 다음과 같습니다.
하늘님의 내재: 초월적인 신이 아니라 인간 개개인의 몸과 마음에 영(靈)과 기(氣)의 형태로 존재한다는 믿음입니다.
인간 존엄성: 모든 사람이 하늘님을 모시고 있으므로 근본적으로 존엄하며, 서로를 존경해야 한다는 인간 중심 사상으로 이어집니다.
수행과 자각: 주문(呪文) 수련 등을 통해 자신 안에 있는 하늘님을 자각하고 체험하는 것을 중요하게 여깁니다.
평등: 이러한 자각은 당시의 신분 차별을 넘어선 평등 사회를 지향하는 혁신적인 사상적 배경이 되었습니다.
결론적으로, "시천주"는 인간의 몸에 신성함이 깃들어 있음을 강조하는 한국 고유의 종교 철학입니다

The idea of a "God within the body" appears in various spiritual and philosophical traditions, suggesting the divine can be experienced internally through bodily awareness, meditation, and contemplation. Some traditions, like Taoism, describe inner deities within the body. Other concepts, such as the Hindu belief in the Atman (the soul or self), also point to an inner spiritual reality that is connected to the divine, notes BBC. In a different approach, some theories, like The God Code, propose that the message "God/Eternal within the body" is literally encoded in human DNA, though this is a controversial interpretation of a symbolic message, explain Amazon.ca and Amazon.com.
Spiritual and religious interpretations
Embodied spiritual practices: Some modern spiritual guides combine wisdom from various traditions like Buddhism, Christianity, and Judaism to help people find God through bodily awareness, meditation, and prayer.
Taoism: In Taoism, there are concepts of "body gods" or "inner gods" that are considered deities situated within the human body.
Hinduism: Hinduism posits that the Atman, or the true self, is a part of the universal soul and moves from one body to another after death, indicating an eternal, inner spiritual essence, according to BBC.
Scientific and symbolic interpretations
The "God Gene": Research into a gene called VMAT2 has been called the "God Gene," but this is a misnomer. VMAT2 is a protein involved in transporting neurotransmitters, and while it may be active during religious experiences, it does not equate to a single "god gene," according to Wikipedia.
The God Code: This theory suggests that the message "God/Eternal within the body" is encoded in DNA. It is a symbolic interpretation linking ancient alphabets to genetic code, but not a widely accepted scientific finding, note Amazon.ca and Amazon.com.

A coded message has been found within the molecules of life; deep within the DNA in each cell of our bodies. Through a remarkable discovery linking Biblical alphabets to our genetic code, the "language of life" may now be read as the ancient letters of a timeless message. Regardless of race, religion, heritage or lifestyle, the message is the same in each cell of every woman, child and man, past and present.


With nearly one third of the world’s nations currently embroiled in armed conflict, such proof of a universal bond offers compelling evidence that we are greater than any beliefs that have separated us in the past. Through this newly found expression‎ of unity we find a place to begin when our differences seem insurmountable.

In this all-new original research, Gregg Braden shares the life-changing discovery that led him from a successful career in aerospace and defense to an extensive 12-year study of the most sacred and honored traditions of humankind. Through his global search and controversial findings:

• Discover the coded message of our cells from the day of our origins
• Experience that message as a universal principle of unity that makes war based in our differences obsolete
• See the recently revealed fragment of the Dead Sea Scrolls validating the text discovered in our cells
• Discover tangible and unprecedented evidence that we are part of a greater existence
• Learn how the message in your DNA becomes the foundation to resolve conflict; and offers a method, and a reason to believe that peace is possible within families and between nations
