Abstract
Until now, the research of Daseok Ryu Youngmo has been mainly led by theological researchers with an understanding of traditional ideas. This paper, ‘from the perspective of a Confucian researcher’, investigates how Ne0-Confucianism influenced his theology. His concept of nonexistence God, indifference to Creation, the emphasis on the character of Jesus, disapproval of the Apostles' Creed implies that his interpretation of the Bible is under the influence of Confucianism. And this paper focuses on the personality of the absolute in the process of discussion. it is not possible to add the concept of ‘nothingness’ to God existing personally. The reason why Neo-Confucianism was able to add the concept of “nothingness” in front of Taegeuk is that Taegeuk is not a personality. Likewise, the reason why Ryu Young-mo talks about “God of the existence and non-existence” is that he does not accept God as a personality. In addition, based on this, this paper examines the relationship between the absolute and internality(or externality), which will contribute to revealing the important issues that indigenous theology must solve for internal consistency.
