a) The connotation of the concept of humanity.
According to the Bible in Genesis 2:7, when God created the form (phenomenon, material, and matter) of man out of clay and the life (essence, form, and spirit) of man with aura, the spiritual breath used was the breath of God's own spirit or spirit. That is to say, the spiritual breath of human beings (commonly known as the spirit of the spirit) is the spiritual breath (also known as the breath of the Holy Spirit) belonging to God.
According to the "Tao Collection and Its Implications" discovered by the philosophical cow, we now know that the essence of human beings is a part of the essence of God (tao, the great way), that is, the laws of human beings (the category of international law-national law) are part of the laws of God (the category of the supreme law-the law of the Dao) (i.e., the part of the form, the essence of the law, the spiritual law, the Tao law, etc.).
Therefore, the conceptual connotation (essential definition) of human beings is a kind of spiritual being that belongs to the "innate (avenue, such as omnipotent creativity) and spiritual (spirit, such as omniscient intelligence)", that is, the connotation (contains) an eternal essence or necessary essence, that is, a supernatural essence or a supersocial essence.
Therefore, as early as the Xia, Shang and Zhou periods, the Chinese had the belief that "heaven and man are one" (the essence of God and the essence of human beings belong to the same essence - the avenue); During the Han and Tang dynasties, there was the belief in "heaven and man induction" (the spirit of God and the human spirit belong to the same spirit - the Holy Spirit). That is to say, our Chinese ancestors and the Chinese nation have always believed in the darkness that "the essence of God contains the essence of human beings" or that "the spirit of God contains the spirit of human beings".
2) The extension of the concept of humanity.
Similarly, according to the Bible (Gen. 2:7) and the Chinese Classic of Mountains and Seas (Nuwa created man), the conceptual extension (phenomenon definition) of human beings is a kind of "acquired nature (formality, humanity, spirituality) + materiality (materiality, earthiness, fleshiness) = substantial existence", that is, the extension (explicit) of a finite or contingent essence, that is, the nature of nature or the essence of society.
Therefore, the fate of people who believe in "God's creation" or "Tao gives birth to heaven and earth" cannot be the same community for people in ancient and modern China and abroad, and the "human" concept of their essential definition set (human essence - spiritual community) and their "human-like" concept of phenomenal definition set (human phenomenon - material community), and the fate of the two (infinite and finite, inevitable and accidental) cannot be the same community, both world history and Chinese history have long proved this.
Epilogue. To sum up, the "essence of human beings" (the connotation belongs to the Dao-Holy Spirit) not only precedes the "existence of human beings" (the extension belongs to the heavens and the earth-nature), but also the Tao nature or creativity of human beings is essentially equal to the essence of all science or the essence of all knowledge, that is, the connotation of all scientific concepts or all wisdom.
For this reason, human beings (whose spiritual essence belongs to one of the members of the family of the Holy Spirit) should not be like humanoids (spiritual essence without the Holy Spirit) and atheists (spiritual essence against the Holy Spirit) and forget that each individual is the being-essence-spirit created and given by God's unique life subject), as a result, their essence will either degenerate into a super-heaven-super-earth person like "Hengqu Four Sentences", or their essence will be alienated into a supergod-superhuman person like a "devil ghost".
May God bless us humanity!
