Definition: The word "agnosis" in the English New Testament translates to "cure, remedy, relief or alleviation." It refers to a spiritual condition that requires medical treatment. In its broader context, the word is used figuratively to describe any impediment preventing someone from experiencing their full potential (as described in 1 Samuel 3:5-6; Matthew 19:20). So, in this sense, diagnosis can refer to a problem or obstacle, which necessitates some form of healing or correction.
