Isho\u2019s mother tongue was Aramaic, and his name was Isho, but Greeks translated it to Greek as Jesus. Hamashiach is Hebrew for Redeemer, and is a title that was conferred to him before he was born. Greeks translated it to Greek as well and called him Kristos. This word is the root of the word CHRISTIANITY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-contrast-color has-base-2-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color has-system-sans-serif-font-family wp-elements-80077063f2519f30f3af569e95a7d7b3\" style=\"padding-top:0;padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-bottom:0;padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\">Hebrew was the official language, and Aramaic was like a vernacular, but gained status because the Son of God was born in Galilee and spoke Aramaic as his mother tongue. Indeed, some original books of the Holy Mikra (Bible), both Old Testament and Final Covenant were written in Aramaic. AFRICAN DEREKH is upholding this fact and has discarded Greek which dominates Western Christianity to move back to Hebrew and Aramaic. Isho was, and still is, Jewish, as Son of Jacob, David, Judah and Joseph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-contrast-color has-base-2-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color has-system-sans-serif-font-family wp-elements-ea274bb0871967c8f641e7a138959859\" style=\"padding-top:0;padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-bottom:0;padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\">DEREKH started in Jerusalem and spread throughout the Mediterranean but was initially controlled from Jerusalem and, as Jewish apostles spread throughout the area, they regularly returned to Jerusalem to consult. At the very beginning DEREKH was preached without written scripture, and apostles were regularly contradicting each other. There was a united world Knesiya (Hebrew for church) but had 5 control centres which were Jerusalem, Antioch, Constantinople, Alexandria, and Rome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-contrast-color has-base-2-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color has-system-sans-serif-font-family wp-elements-c33685a55fb73e5318b8a6334687cc4a\" style=\"padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\">AFRICAN DEREKH is launched by three books that combine to state its Doctrine in some detail, but we present here a brief summary. &nbsp;The three books are;

The world has ONE God and a multitude of gods. This is why scripture (Isa 9:6) says Isho is a \u2018mighty god\u2019, meaning that he is stronger than all the other gods. Several gods are named by the Holy Mikra itself, including Baal Zebub (2 Kgs 1:1-6). Isho Ha-mashiach is a creature of God and is the beginning of creation. He does not share God-ness with God. His title as Son of God, was granted as a favour by God, The Sovereign LORD. Isho was given authority over Heaven and Earth in the same manner that Joseph, son of Jacob, a Hebrew, was given all executive power in Egypt by the Pharaoh (Gen 41:37-41). Pharaoh remained the only King of Egypt, but his authority was exercised by Joseph. We therefore reject both Western Diphysitism (two natures of Isho) and Eastern Monophysitism (the one nature of Isho).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-contrast-color has-base-2-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color has-system-sans-serif-font-family wp-elements-c0f6500725d54fc51810a16d963d3145\" style=\"padding-top:0;padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-bottom:0;padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\">We must note also that human beings were initially created as small gods, with inherent spiritual power (Gen 1:26), (Ps 82:6-7). This status was destroyed by Adam and Eve sin at Eden, but was restored by Isho at Golgotha, and we can all be small gods as well by divinisation. As Derekhs we are small gods (Jn 10:34-36). Isho is thus a big god but is not God. As gods, human beings report directly to God, the Father, through his chief servant, Isho Ha-mashiach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-contrast-color has-base-2-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color has-system-sans-serif-font-family wp-elements-3ac4149522d8bd7e31d5cb13aa8abb3f\" style=\"padding-top:0;padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-bottom:0;padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\">Equally, the Holy Spirit is not God; He is just an implementing authority for God\u2019s decisions. He has discretion just as Isho has but has delegated power. Both Isho and Ruach Ha-Kodesh are subordinate to God the Father, and cannot be bundled with Him in the manner framed by Western Christianity in the so-called Holy Trinity. African Derekhs don\u2019t have to bother themselves with these academic aspects that were invented by Greeks because DEREKH religion stands on faith, not on academic understanding. Our only duty is Emonah (faith) or foolish and total acceptance of God and His Son.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-contrast-color has-base-2-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color has-system-sans-serif-font-family wp-elements-bbc8bca808ec37098fab0e1c0a2eddb8\" style=\"padding-top:0;padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-bottom:0;padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\">Further, God is masculine, and is not gender neutral.

When you bring to them original DEREKH JERUSALEM, they think this is a new religion, but it isn\u2019t.&nbsp; This is genuine DEREKH that arise out of Revelation of the Ruach Ha-Kodesh (Holy Spirit). These thanks and acknowledgements are written in scripture. (1 Chr 16:34), (2 Cor 9:15), (The 5:16-18), (Lk 12:19-21), (Jas 3:14-16), (Pro 27:1), (Deut 28:45).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-background has-link-color has-system-serif-font-family wp-elements-b2c722938dd4b2881dfa53b570a1931f\" style=\"color:#1a1657;background-color:#e6eaf3;padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\"><strong>19) OFFERING<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-contrast-color has-base-2-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color has-system-sans-serif-font-family wp-elements-5f1cb668f0bbfce8401a1d68fc878ff5\" style=\"padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\">All offering to AFRICAN DEREKH Knesiya shall be voluntary according to how a person is financially able to offer himself to God. Money is not however, the only offering we shall offer to God because scripture says devotion and holiness are bigger offerings to God than money. (Heb 13:15-16), (Hos 6:6), (Prv 21:3), (Isa 1:10-12). Scripture also says we have received for free, and we must serve without being paid (Mt 10:8). AFRICAN DEREKH will therefore de-emphasise offering by removing it from Shabbat Gathering Liturgy. We are reminded however to always thankfully donate to the poor because all donations to the poor are offerings to God Himself. We must offer all offering in elevated humility and thankfulness to God, the Provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-background has-link-color has-system-serif-font-family wp-elements-8b3953ff105c6f58d36c5bdc2ca6a939\" style=\"color:#1a1657;background-color:#e6eaf3;padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\"><strong>20) MARRIAGE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-contrast-color has-base-2-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color has-system-sans-serif-font-family wp-elements-4ab5158d207d79daa05dc6be932d6c8c\" style=\"padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\">Marriage is a strict duty and will be both enforced and facilitated by AFRICAN DEREKH Knesiya. The Holy Mikra does not prohibit polygyny or limit marriage to any number of wives, and polygyny will accordingly be allowed by AFRICAN DEREKH, but local civil law will be observed. Principles of fairness and equity will however be introduced to preclude or prohibit some polygynous marriages. Divorce and separation are strictly prohibited by scripture, and will not be tolerated. Marriage is a lifetime bond, for better or for worse. Cohabitation and unregistered marriage shall be adultery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-background has-link-color has-system-serif-font-family
