Definition: The word "alphosis" in the King James Version (KJV) translates to "divine knowledge." It refers to the belief that the Bible, as a collection of books written by different people over many years, is filled with divine revelations or truths and principles that are beyond human comprehension. In Greek, "alphos" means "knowledge," "of God," or "understanding," and "osis" translates as "divine." This term indicates that the Bible contains knowledge about God or his nature, and this knowledge is accessible only through God's revelation. The term "Divine Knowledge" implies that these revelations are not of human comprehension, but rather they are part of God's divine nature. The word is derived from Greek ἀλφός (alphos), which means to be known or perceived as the same in another, and αἰώσις (osis) which translates back into Greek as "understanding." The Bible teaches that God is eternal, omniscient, omnipotent, all-powerful, and has revealed His truth to us through Christ. However, it also states that human understanding of these truths is finite and imperfect, so God's revelation can only be understood by those who believe in Him. So, "alphosis" means the belief in divine knowledge or knowledge about God found in the Bible, and it highlights the complexity and mystery of this ancient tradition of faith.

Definition: The Hebrew word "alphonso" (also known as "Alphosises") comes from Greek mythology, specifically as a reference to the son of Zeus and Hera, who was the father of both Zeus and Poseidon. In Greek mythology, Alphonso is often associated with lightning and thunder. The Son of Zeus and Hera, Alphonso, was a thunderbolt that appeared to rain down lightning on Mount Olympus (Zealot). The lightning could be seen as a sign from Zeus himself of his displeasure with the worshipers who were unable to fulfill their duties in the Temple. The name "Alphonso" also has historical significance because it refers to an event where Zeus and his wife Hera had an affair. Alphonso, being the son of Zeus, was believed by many Greeks to be a symbol for Zeus himself, as he was considered the deity who ruled over Mount Olympus during this time. The name "Alphosises" in Greek mythology likely originated from the association between lightning (a symbol of Zeus) and thunder (a symbol of Hera), both of whom are associated with storms and the divine. The word "alphosises" thus comes from a combination of the two, combining lightning and thunder into an umbrella or shield that protects the lightning.
