초록

The purpose of this paper is to provide a theological alternative that is based on Pneumatological anthropology to the challenge of a new human image in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which is the opening of the era of omniscient, omnipotent, and immortal human beings emerging in a transcendent, supernatural, and hyperconnected world. Up until now, mankind has maintained a rational approach to thinking through reason, emotion, and will, which encompasses the realm of the flesh and the soul. The current human image trapped within the current material laws and principles cannot be used to approach or lead the surreal world of the future. The world of the future is the surreal world led by humans with superpowers. Thus, the future world will be governed only by the realm of spirit, which is located within humans. According to Youngsan, humans who are created in the image of God are made up of three parts: spirit, soul, and body. The human spirit is created by the Spirit of God and it is a location where one can have a spiritual connection with God. At the same time, it can be considered as a ‘vessel dedicated to God.’ When God begins to open the realm of the spirit, a huge transcendent reality of God’s kingdom will unfold among us.
Now is the time for humans to transform themselves into spiritual people of the spiritual world who can understand and accept the transcendent world beyond the realm of soul, where reason and rationality play a pivotal role, and the realm of the flesh, which is connected to the material world through the senses. The era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution is transcendent and a world of superpowers. According to Youngsan, only spiritual human beings endowed with the Holy Spirit and born by the Holy Spirit are capable of producing transcendent power that cannot be explained by science, reason, or knowledge. In the future, humans like God and humans full of the Holy Spirit are likely to lead the world. This paper will argue that the only human being who can replace the mechanized or dehumanized ‘new human,’ who will lead the upcoming era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, is the spiritual human of the fourth dimension.
