My pastor introduced our Bible study group the word "ginosko", knowledge, as it is used in 2 Peter, chapter 1. See below the definition from the source, http://biblehub.com/greek/1108.htm.
gnósis: a knowing, knowledge
Cognate: 1108 gnṓsis (a feminine noun derived from 1097 /ginṓskō, "experientially know") –functional ("working") knowledge gleaned from first-hand (personal) experience, connecting theory to application; "application-knowledge," gained in (by) a direct relationship. See 1097 (ginōskō).
1108 /gnṓsis ("applied-knowledge") is only as accurate (reliable) as the relationship it derives from.
Gnosis, ginosko...What a word! That's the kind of knowledge I desire for my students to have! I am acquiring "ginosko" about blogging right now! I hope that's correct Greek :). Anyway, I'm excited about my first blog, and the name!. What a gift we can give our students, a knowing kind of knowledge, not just head knowledge, firsthand experience!
