Well here's the key word... God *glitch* - the self-dubbed name immediately specifies that it is a glitch and not a hack.

A glitch - aka an exploit - is something you can perform directly in the game. If it was a hack, you would be using foreign programs and elements of coding to directly affect the game. The god glitch can be done directly in-game with no other means of influence of an outside program.
