did not last too long. <br>
동학 established in 1860 borrowed the term and 侍天主(하느님을 내마음속에 모신다) became<br>the main ideology of 동학. <br>동학, later 천도교, interchangeably used the term 상제 <a href="http://hanja.naver.com/word?q=%E4%B8%8A%E5%B8%9D" onclick="clickcr(this,'rec.view','194191','1',event)"><span class="hanja">(上帝</span></a>) with 천주.<br>

that are either factually incorrect or stated in such a way that they mislead.
For my part, on the same token, to avoid demonizing or misrepresenting a
scholar who's work I have otherwise benefitted from, I should mention that upon
re-examining Kim's statement, I see that what he's saying can also mean
"characteristic" as opposed to merely "exclusive" or "of one's own ownership,"
which might leave some room for debate ("...cheonjugyohoe-ui <span style="font-weight: bold;">goyu</span>han yongeo / 천주교회의 <span style="font-weight: bold;">고유</span>한 용어..."). Unfortunately,
however, without further clarification, such a statement can lead to the wrong
conclusion regarding the facts. Access to other informed opinions are
indispensable in such cases. Many thanks to those members who responded
immediately to help clear up the misinformation.<br><br>Deberniere
