Definition: The term "Agnoites" in biblical literature refers to a form of idolatry, which occurs when a person worshipes an object or deity that they do not possess or have created for themselves, rather than being under the guidance and control of their Creator or God. In Greek mythology, this concept is known as Agnoite. In Hebrews 10:27, Paul refers to the form of idolatry described by the Bible, saying that a man will worship an object that he does not own without having it be his true possession and in order for him to be truly Christian. The term is derived from Greek "agnoia," which means "to steal" or "to take." The context often refers to taking the same material (like gold, silver, etc.) as a substitute for genuine spiritual nourishment. This form of idolatry is considered morally and spiritually abhorrent due to its inability to fulfill the ultimate purpose of worshiping God and his true Father. In summary, the term "Agnoites" refers to idolatrous behavior that seeks to replace God with an object or a material possession, often without genuine spiritual connection. It is a form of idolatry that distorts the relationship between man and God and should be avoided at all cost.
