“한국메시아운동사의 관점에서 바라본 통일교 ‘독생녀 현상’에 대한 비판서” 김방룡(충남대 교수) 근현대 한국종교사에 있어서 가장 큰 특징 중의 하나는 수많은 신종교가 출현한 것이다.민족적 자생종교로는 동학(천도교)ㆍ대종교ㆍ증산교ㆍ보천교ㆍ원불교ㆍ금강대도 등이 대표적이며, 기독교계의 경우 전도관ㆍ통일교ㆍ용문산기도원ㆍ여호와새일교단 등이 대표적이다. 이러한 신종교들은 조선왕조의 해체와 제국주의의 침략 그리고 자본주의의 도입 과정에서 고통과 혼란을 겪는 민중들에게 새로운 삶의 의미와 희망을 불어넣으며 새로운 종교로 정착하였다. 한국 종교학계에서 신종교에 대한 담론이 본격적으로 논의되기 시작한 것은 1990년대 이후라 할 수 있는데, 신종교 연구자가 되기 위해서는 종교학에 대한 깊은 이해와 더불어 실제 신종교에 대한 체험이 동시에 필요하다. 이 책의 저자인 김종석 박사는 선문대학교에서박태선 장로의 전도관에 대한 연구를 통하여 석사와 박사학위를 받았으며, 통일교 축복가정의 일원이 될 정도로 독실한 통일교 신자이다. 이미 한국메시아운동사연구에 대한 저서10권을 출간한 것에서 알 수 있듯이, 저자는 통일교를 중심으로 하여 한국메시아운동에 대해 연구하고 있는 전문적인 신종교 연구자이다. ‘통일원리로 본 독생녀 현상’이란 제목에서 짐작할 수 있듯이 저자는 통일교의 교단이 창시자 문선명 총재의 ‘통일원리’에 의해 운영되어야 하며, 2012년 창시자의 타계 이후 나타난 이른바 ‘독생녀 현상’은 창시자의 통일원리와 정반대로 가고 있다는 확고한 개인적 신념 속에서 이 책을 저술하였다. 이 책은 2018년 출간한 ‘통일교와 독생녀 현상’의 개정판인데, 절제된 언어와 구체적 근거에 의한 논증을 통해 창시자의 타계 이후 나타난 통일교의 분열 현상과 그 원인이 ‘독생녀 현상’ 때문이라는 자신의 주장을 압축적으로 드러내고있다. 책의 분량 또한 반으로 줄였는데, 그 내용은 크게 ‘독생녀 현상ㆍ통일원리로 본 독생녀론ㆍ독생녀의 타락’ 등 3장으로 구성되어 있다. 한국에서 출현한 수많은 신종교들 가운데 교주 사후 교권을 둘러싸고 분열되거나 극심하게교세가 약화된 사례는 많다. 한때 신도 수가 200만에 달했던 보천교의 경우에도 교주 사후 교단이 해체되기까지 하였다. 그래서 “3대 100년이 지나고 살아남아야 제대로 된 종교로 인정할 수 있다.”라는 말이 신종교 연구자들 사이에서 회자되곤 한다. 살아남은 교단과사라진 교단을 결정하는 것은 ‘교학 혹은 신학’의 존재 여부에 있다.‘독생녀 현상’과 이를 뒷받침하는 ‘신학’을 비판의 대상으로 삼아 공론화하고, ‘통일원리’에근거하여 비판적 담론을 전개하고 있다는 점은 이 책이 지닌 큰 특징이자 장점이다. 또한자신이 몸 담고 있는 통일교 교단이 존재해야 하는 이유와 나아가야 할 방향이 무엇인지에대한 진지한 성찰과 실존적인 고민을 통해 자신의 입장을 분명하게 드러내고 있다는 점에서 저자의 큰 용기와 신념이 느껴지기도 한다. 특히 교권을 차지하기 위한 치열한 다툼의현장을 이성과 비판을 통한 학문적 담론의 장으로 이끌어 가고 있다는 점에서 이 책은 공공의 가치가 있다고 할 수 있다. 최근 통일교의 분열 현상을 이해하고 통일교의 앞날에 대해 관심이 있는 독자들에게는 큰도움이 되는 책이라 할 수 있다.

이 책 초판을 쓴 동기 중 하나가 창시자의 혈통적 정체성을 부정하는 독생녀론을 체계화하기위해 김진춘 교수가 작성한 논문, “참부모님의 독생자ㆍ독생녀 연구(2017.2.7.)”였다. 창시자가밝혀 온 통일원리를 과학적으로 논증하는 일을 평생의 업으로 삼아 온 김 교수의 논문은 필자에게 큰 놀라움을 주었다. 김 교수는 창시자의 말씀과 통일원리로 한학자의 독생녀론을 논증하고 싶었겠지만, 그 결과는 이미 정해져 있었다. 통일원리와 창시자 말씀의 의미를 왜곡하지않고는 창시자의 통일원리와 충돌하는 한학자의 독생녀론을 논증할 수 없기 때문이다.필자를 더욱 놀라게 한 사건은 2017년 4월, 전국 교구장 정책회의에서 김진춘 교수가 한 발언이다. 이날 일부 교구장들이 창시자의 유원죄 출생을 주장하는 김 교수 강의에 문제가 있다고 지적하자, 김 교수는 자신이 자발적으로 강의한 것이 아니라 한학자의 지시를 따른 것이라고 발언하였다. 자신은 원치 않았는데 어쩔 수 없었다는 취지의 발언이었다. 그 후 이들의 대화 내용은 모두 녹음되어 세상에 공개되었다. 그러던 가운데 김진춘 교수는 2022년 4월, 한학자의 지시에 따라 기존 독생녀론의 최종 목적이 드러난 소위 〈참아버지 꼬리론〉을 강의하였다. 이 또한 축복가정들에게 큰 파문을 일으켰다.필자가 2016년 『통일교의 분열』을 집필하면서 2013년경부터 본격화된 한학자의 독생녀 현상을 창시자의 통일원리와 정반대라는 점에서 통일운동과는 근본적으로 다른 또 다른 종교현상이라고 주장한 바 있다. 이러한 필자의 주장은 이후 한학자의 언행 등으로 모두 증명이 되었다고 본다.통일운동 분열 과정에서 파악할 수 있는 한학자의 언행과 여러 사건, 그리고 창시자의 가르침을 종합해 볼 때, 한학자가 창시자와 다른 방향의 정체성을 구체적으로 드러내기 시작한 시기는 2000-2003년 무렵이었다. 한학자는 이미 2000년대 초부터 창시자와 노골적으로 불화하였고, 통일운동의 핵심 정체성인 창시자의 혈통을 부정하였으며, 장자권 중심의 섭리를 반대했고, 참가정의 형제와 부자(父子) 사이를 이간질했다. 그런데 이러한 모든 사건은 참가정을 중심한 통일운동의 체계를 반대하며 제자 중심의 체제를 도모하던 천사장격 교권주의자들과 해와 사명자인 한학자가 함께 공모한 결과였다. 주관성을 전도한 천사장격 교권주의자와 한학자가 주도해서 초래한 참가정 분열과 통일운동 분열은 태초의 아담 가정에서 벌어진 해와의 타락 사건과 다르지 않다. 2000년대 초부터 2012년 창시자 성화를 거쳐 지금까지 이어온 통일운동의 참상은 타락한 천사장과 해와가 초래한 6천 년 인류 죄악 역사의 축소판이었다. 한마디로 말해 한학자, 문형진,문국진, 문인진과 교권주의자들이 반문현진 세력을 형성하여 문현진을 축출함으로써 참가정과창시자의 섭리적 이상을 파괴해 나왔던 전체 과정이 통일운동 분열과 그 참상의 핵심이라는말이다. 이러한 참상의 내막을 축복가정들은 바르게 알아야 할 것이다. 타락한 해와는 자신의 혈통적 정체성을 망각하고 천사장을 남편이자 아버지로 믿게 되었다.이렇게 통일운동 분열을 주도한 한학자와 교권주의자들, 그리고 이를 따르는 여러 통일교인들은 하나님 본연의 혈통이 참아버지 문선명 총재를 통해 참가정에 뿌리내리고, 전 세계 인류에게 확대되어 하나님의 창조 이상이 지상에 실현된다는 통일운동의 근본 정체성을 버리고 이제는 한학자를 숭배하고 있다. 이러한 이유에서 필자는 참가정을 파탄 내고 타락한 천사장의 주관을 받아 독생녀론과 독생녀 숭배를 주장하는 한학자의 독생녀 현상을 독생녀의 타락이라 규정한다. 한학자의 타락으로 문선명 총재의 재림주 메시아로서의 최종 사명인 기원절과 천일국 섭리는이루어지지 않았다. 한학자와 독생녀론자들이 창시자 없이 한학자가 주관한 기원절을 승리한기원절이라 아무리 강변해도 참부모의 3차 완성 성혼식과 참가정 입적, 이를 조건으로 예정되었던 축복가정의 입적을 위한 완성 축복식은 이루어지지 않은 것이 역사적 사실이다. 결론적으로 말해 한학자가 주관한 2013년 음력 1월 13일의 기원절은 3차 아담이자 재림주로 강림한문 총재의 섭리와 무관한 독생녀 즉위식이라는 것이 필자의 관점이다. 2023년 5월, 선문대 신학과 교수, 황진수, 오택용, 주재완, 김민지, 안연희가 자신들의 논문을모아 『독생녀 신학 연구』를 출판하였다. 이들은 창시자의 통일원리와 한학자의 독생녀론이 같지 않다는 것을 공식화했고, 성평등 시대, 탈가부장 시대에 맞지 않다는 이유로 창시자의 통일원리를 버릴 것과 독생녀론을 창조이상세계의 새로운 진리로 받아들이고 한학자 독생녀를숭배하라고 주장했다. 마지막 판가리 시대에 참가정 이상을 막기 위해 사탄이 주도할 절대 성(性) 파괴는 여성주의(페미니즘)에서 비롯된다는 창시자 문선명 총재의 가르침과는 정반대로이들은 오히려 페미니즘으로 창시자의 통일원리를 공격하였다. 통일원리의 관점에서 볼 때 이들은 사탄과 마귀의 이론으로 통일원리를 비판한 것이다. 이들 교수가 『독생녀 신학 연구』를 한학자에게 바쳤다는 사실은 독생녀론을 중심으로 한 하늘부모님성회가 창시자의 통일원리와 무관한 페미니즘의 독생녀교임을 공식화한 조치와 다름없다.축복가정의 일원으로서 이러한 상황을 심각하게 본 필자는 통일원리의 관점에서 독생녀 현상을 추가로 분석하고 정의하기 위해 그동안 모아온 자료를 근거로 〈통일교와 독생녀 현상 개정판〉인 『통일원리로 본 독생녀 현상』을 출판하게 되었다. 자료 수집은 관찰자의 객관적 시점에서 이루어졌고, 자료에 대한 해석과 비교는 통일원리와 통일운동 분열사를 연구해 온 신앙자이자 학자의 관점에서 이루어졌다는 점을 밝힌다.오랜 시간 통일운동 분열과 한학자의 독생녀 현상을 관찰해 온 연구자의 입장에서 볼 때 이제통일운동 분열은 사실상 종료되었다. 통일운동 분열의 내적 원인은 재림주 참아버지 문선명총재에 대한 한학자의 불신과 주관성 전도였다. 외적 원인은 90년대부터 문선명 총재가 준비해온, 참가정의 섭리적 장자 문현진 중심의 후계체제를 와해시키고 통일교회 내 기득권을 유지하려는 교권 세력의 욕심이었다. 그러나 한학자가 『독생녀 신학 연구』를 통해 탈창시자, 탈통일원리를 공식화함으로써 한학자의 하늘부모님성회는 통일운동과 무관한 종교단체로 공식화되었다. 더불어 반문현진 교권 세력이 UCI 탈취를 목적으로 일으켰던 여러 소송도 한학자와교권 연합인 반문현진 세력의 패소로 완벽히 종결됨으로써 통일운동의 모든 분열은 마침표를찍었다. 이제부터의 과제는 남아 있는 참가정과 축복가정이 재림주 참아버지 문선명 총재의 통일운동이상을 다시 실체로 이루어내는 일이다. 내적으로는 창시자가 한학자의 타락으로 이루지 못한참부모, 참가정 이상을 다시 이루어 기원절을 하늘 앞에 봉헌해야 하고, 외적으로는 하나님을부모로 모시는 천일국의 주권을 실체로 복귀해야 한다.하나님의 섭리는 중심인물 한 사람의 노력만으로는 절대 이루어지지 않을 것이다. 참가정과축복가정이 복귀된 아벨과 복귀된 가인으로서 책임을 다할 때 비로소 이루어진다. 하나님 혈통의 뿌리인 참가정을 완성할 책임은 하나님과 하나 된 참자녀의 몫이다. 참자녀는 참아버지의 성화와 책임분담에 실패한 한학자의 책임분담을 대신해 남아 있는 참부모의 사명을 다해야하고, 축복가정은 참가정과 하나 되어 복귀된 가인권 자녀의 책임을 다해야 한다.안타까운 것은 통일운동 분열의 내막이나 한학자의 실체를 알지 못하고 무작정 반섭리, 반원리의 길을 가는 통일교인들이 아직도 많다는 사실이다. 세속적 삶을 버리고 축복을 받았지만,통일운동에 동참한 애초의 동기를 잊어버리고, 독생녀 숭배를 효도로 착각한 나머지, 섭리와는 정반대의 길을 가는 여러 통일교인들의 모습을 바라볼 때 가슴이 답답하다. 반섭리, 비원리를 버리고 섭리와 원리의 길로 돌아오기를 바라는 마음이 간절하다
