Various uses of the Korean term

The 'hanunim' and 'hananim' are also used by Catholic and Protestant Christians to refer to the Christian God. Is there is a chance that other faith believers use the same term? Poeticfeelings (talk) 14:51, 24 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Korean Protestants usually refer to the Christian god as "hananim" exclusively, not sure about Catholics, which to my knowledge is deliberate to differentiate between the two while referring back to native beliefs of worshipping the sky at the same time. In Korean shamanism, there are many different gods/spirits, and "haneunim" refers to the sky god (haneul/하늘 = sky/heaven), whereas "hananim" means "The One" (hana/하나 = one). "Haneunim" or simply "haneul" is generally used by Koreans to refer to the idea of an omnipotent god/heaven regardless of religious affiliation, similar to how English speakers use just "God" (upper case), though atheists also often use "shin" (신), which would be the equivalent of "god" (lowercase).

Central Asia

Why should this article and related ones have a WikiProject Central Asia template? Korea is not even close to Central Asia.--DThomsen8 (talk) 21:02, 13 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oh I see, thank you for making sense for me. Hwanin translated to Haneulnim, which is God in English. All Koreans, even Christians, say Haneulnim, so you have manipulated the word so every person, man and woman, young or old, always pray to Haneulnim, who founded Gojoseon. But how do you know if that's the same Haneulnim, God, who sent Jesus Christ? You shrewd men... Your words will be your judgement and downfall... You have made people worship gods that you don't even know if they are real... You have based a country and a language based on a lie that it was the Haneulnim, the gods you say, who founded gojoseon with dankun and hwang-woong, is the same entity and spirit that sent Jesus Christ... You men... Always lie and make lie the truth...... Why do I say lie? You have assumed and took in the efforts without even trying yourself and made it as if it was your own and you made everyone worship the false god who failed us... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Daendoonge88 (talk • contribs) 13:21, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hwandan Gogi

Noticed a lot of references to Hwandan Gogi, a well known forgery in Korea. Even Wikipedia's own page on Hwandan Gogi gives points as to why it's a forgery. Would it be right to keep all that false information on this page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alephim (talk • contribs) 03:01, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
