Christian Ethics- ⑤ Pandemic 4th Industrial Revolution

Christian Ethics- ⑤ Pandemic 4th Industrial Revolution

In the meantime, the role of the church to deal with the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution seems to be strengthened in the era of pandemin. How should Christian ethics be established in this rapidly changing era? Popular culture is a culture commonly used in the present era, and mass media can be said to be a tool to effectively convey the culture. Many people have doubts about whether this popular culture and mass media can coexist with the Christian culture of the pandemic era. This includes whether church music can be replaced with popular music, whether the same effect can be seen with preaching in the Internet instead of preaching in the church, whether it can be viewed as an application instead of a Bible book, or can artificial intelligence be a preacher? There may be controversy over many of the current issues. There are many changes when we compare the times we grew up. These issues should not be judged on their own, but rather should be determined by looking at whether they are contrary to the nature of the original Christian faith.

In fact, the modern church is in a crisis that has never been experienced before. The epidemic will accelerate this crisis. This means that rather than affecting the study of theology, this crisis will transform the direction, history, and identity that theology brings into personalized and privatized empiricist beliefs. If the identity of theology is limited only to what he has experienced, he becomes individualized. They tend to think that Christian values, orthodoxy, and history are meaningless and that their values ​​are the best. In the era of universalization of science and technology universalism and big data due to the 4th industrial revolution, Christianity is facing a serious identity crisis with the collapse of absolute truth. The values ​​between the world view of modern society and the world view of Christianity collide, and the fixed value is changed. Since plural realities are present, the Bible will be interpreted arbitrarily. As the value of Christianity is pushed away from social issues, the church's failure to solve the pain and distress encountered in society will accelerate, and the church will be accelerated to distort into a distorted image as a social refuge.

It is said that the kingdom of God is not a new world that we will visit, but a new world that will come to this earth. How about actively embracing the technology of the 4th Industrial Revolution to realize the kingdom of God? There will be no way other than God's Word to respond to the era of the Big Brother, under the control of the Antichrist. The era of AI seems to be an irreversible flow. It is because there is no possibility that mankind will abandon the accumulated science and technology accumulated so far and return to the past. However, there are many predictions that the more an inhuman world, such as the 4th Industrial Revolution, arrives, the more spiritual leaders will be needed. In addition, the pandemic era, which is reluctant to face directly, requires a new awareness of Christian science and technology. The more problems in the world, the more work the church and spiritual leaders have to do. In these times, we should make it known that the Christian worldview is the best choice for common sense and the most advanced science. We must endeavor to bring the kingdom of God faster through popular culture and mass media. In the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution, technology is developing extremely, but rather, it is a great opportunity to restore spirituality and humanity, which cannot be done by machines in these times, and the church must actively respond to it. The church needs an active attitude to lead the era spiritually by actively utilizing the cutting-edge science and technology of the 4th Industrial Revolution in the pandemic era.
