Zoekerism: Difference between revisions

The foundation of Zoekerism is based on X principles:

 

The first principle of Zoekerism is the belief in the supreme creator, which goes by many names, including simply God''',''' Chukwu (from Igbo), ''Nyame'', ''Nyankopon'', ''Brekyirihunuade'' ("Almighty"), ''Odomankoma'' ("infinite inventor"). Additionally, Zoekerists adhere to the thought of the Supreme creator existing in the form of three coeternal and consubstantial beings: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and also draws parallels to the Akan belief of Nyame, Nyankopon, and Odomankoma.

 

Like other Christian denominations, Zoekerism is centered around the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Zoekerists adhere to the thought that [[Abayomi|Abayomi van Tussenland]], a philosopher and former slave of the Dutch West India Company, was the reincarnation of Jesus Christ, and had come to save South Tussenland from oppression and slavery. Zoekerists believe that the death of Abayomi van Tussenland during [[South Tussenland]]'s independence revolution was part of the supreme creator god's divine plan to save the people of South Tussenland.

 

Also central to Zoekerist thought is the ''three pursuits:'' the pursuit for freedom, truth, and homeland. Freedom and truth were central to Abayomi van Tussenland's teachings in the 19th century. The search for a homeland was also central to his teachings, advocating that South Tussenland was new promised land, and it was their duty to fight for its independence.
