Strong's Lexicon pseudónumos: Falsely named, false Original Word: ψευδώνυμος Word Origin: From the Greek words ψευδής (pseudes, meaning "false") and ὄνομα (onoma, meaning "name"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "pseudónumos," the concept of falsehood is present in Hebrew words such as שֶׁקֶר (sheqer, Strong's H8267), meaning "falsehood" or "lie." Usage: The term "pseudónumos" is used to describe something that is falsely named or misrepresented. In the context of the New Testament, it refers to teachings or knowledge that claim to be true but are actually false or misleading. This word highlights the importance of discernment in distinguishing between genuine truth and deceptive teachings. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, names held significant power and meaning. A name was not just a label but was believed to convey the essence or nature of a person or thing. The use of "pseudónumos" in the New Testament reflects a concern with false teachings that were prevalent in the early church. These teachings often masqueraded as legitimate Christian doctrine but were contrary to the apostolic teaching. The early church faced various heresies and false teachings, such as Gnosticism, which claimed to offer secret knowledge.
