This article intends to present a theological answer to the crisis of Korean churches in the face of many heretic movements and their wrong mysticism. As we know, every religion has a mysticism as its basic principle. Without that mysticism aimed at the communion with gods, no religion could exist. Indeed, mysticism is one of the most important expressions of religious life. It arises from the universal thirst of almost every human being to communicate with divine beings and to know their will. We can find the evidence of that among the religions of the Ancient Near East(=ANE). Numerous mentions about divination, dream, vision, ecstasy etc. in the ANE literature and Old Testament support this fact. Almost all the peoples of ANE had many kinds of mysticism.
But Old Testament assumed all along a critical attitude towards the mysticism of ANE religions. From the standpoint of the normative Yahwism, it was full of heretic inclination. It was totally opposed to Yahwism regarding Yahweh Elohim as the only creator of the universe, for it belonged to the nature religions that served all things in the creation as divine beings.
Nevertheless, Yahwism also had various elements of mysticism in itself. Among them were dream, vision, lottery, and various mystic experiences of the prophets. The mysticism of Yahwism was based on the confession acknowledging Yahweh Elohim as the only creator and manager of human history, and it played a decisive role in making Israelite people to believe in and trust Him. But the mysticism itself is not the core and essence of Old Testament faith. The most important thing in Old Testament faith is the communion with God through mystic experiences and his sacred will and word derived from those experiences.
Likewise, in these days, mysticism is a means to help Christians believe in God properly. Mysticism is not in itself the ultimate goal of Christian faith. To the Korean Christians, it is very important to know the will of God correctly through various mystic experiences and to do that will in their lives and history. We must guard against those many heretic movements in Korea and their unwholesome mysticism which emphasizes mystic experiences more than the revealed word of God.
