A Study on Understanding of the Church History of Formation of Faith in the Early Korean Church

&nbsp;&nbsp;This study is on a historical meaning of formation of faith in the early Korean Church. These are shown through analogies with botanies, the sacrament, and phenomenology.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;First, in 1895 Western missionaries sowed the seed of the Christian Gospel into the soil of Korea. Through sacrifice and devotion, the missionaries formed an emotional fusion with Koreans. This fusion alarmed the Imperialistic Japanese into psychologically suppressing them, which is the psychological phenomenology.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;Second, the seed of the Christian Gospel took root and grew into a tree which was seriously deformed by the soil. In 1907 the grafting was carried out in the Great Revival, a movement aimed at recovering the essence of Christianity. This in turn, lead to the fusion of faith where people became united under the belief in God. As a consequence, the Korean Church became apolitical. Nonetheless, the Japanese fabricated the "105 people incident", in which supposed members were persecuted for an alleged conspiracy to assassinate the Japanese Governor-General. This was to eradicate any possibilities for the Church to become an epicenter for the Independence Movement.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;Third, in 1919, the grafted tree of the Christian Gospel grew upright and flowered into full bloom. The Korean church provided channels for March 1st Independence Movement and became a fertile ground of participation where cries for independence blossomed.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;Fourth, in 1938 the fertilized flowers bore fruits, many of which fell to the ground when strong winds and heavy rain struck the tree. The fruits rook the form of rejecting Shintoism, the worship of the Japanese emperor as a diety. Those who refused to take part in the Shinto shrine worship forged a transcendental fusion; embracing not only fellow Koreans, but also other nationalities and even Japanese, the enemy. It was based purely on a religious motive, but the Japanese perceived it as a strong opposition phenomenology aimed at challenging Japan&quot;s pillar.
