message: Thought it good to start w/ the general definition (from  wiktionary, et al.) since I came here from a page that has nothing to do with pagan Rome. --Kbh3rd 01:43, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Good question.  I do not know the answer, but I can tell you that Nelson's is not the only "apotheosis" statue.  There is an equestrian bronze in front of the Saint Louis Art Museum in St. Louis, Missouri called Apotheosis of St. Louis. — Kbh3rdtalk 04:11, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

message: I'm going to use the lexical ἀποθεόω instead of ἀποθεοῦν as is now listed. It doesn't make sense to list a random infinitive version of the word.
I suggest you use the nominative, not the root or stem.Lothair of Lorraine (talk) 22:53, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

message: I think the reference to a weapon from the game Oblivion is a little meaningless, here... Plus, I changed "Staff" to "Staves."  I think that bullet should go away, personally.  150.243.119.45 16:36, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Just out of interest, how is Apotheosis supposed to be pronounced? is it "appo-THEE-oh-sis, appathy-ah-sis" or anything else? i know this is pretty lame, but i'm really interested in words, but i tend to have pretty poor pronounciation. cheers.

message: The clinical psychology section says nothing about clinical psychology.  It's just a bunch of speculation about psychedelics and their "possible" effects.  It should be deleted. ---98.223.194.120 (talk) 15:57, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

message: Does it seem to anyone else that Sanderson's Mistborn trilogy gets a disproportionate amount of pagespace dedicated to it? I think it should be trimmed down to the same paragraphs-worth the other examples get, with a link to the series' page for those wanting further explication.

message: The article states that "divinization" is the proper English word to use. This is nonsense; the word apotheosis has been in use (meaning "divinization") for centuries; check the OED; and if it were not in use, then the article would be called "divinization." This strikes me as an absurd attempt to replace a proper English word with a neologism designed to make things "easier" for people of limited lexical experience.

replies: text: English dictionaries recognize both words.  They don't mean the same, as the article explains.  Esoglou (talk) 19:20, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

message: For anyone who may be looking to continue to improve the section on LDS doctrine in this article, I recommend this Wiki article section on Divinization/Deification that seems to me to cover the same subject in reference to Latter-Day Saint belief but without the infractions seen in this article's section here.

message: Since the Orthodox section has no content other than the redirect to the Theosis article, shouldn't the paragraphs under the Catholic section be moved to the Divinization article while leaving a redirect since both denominations believe in Theosis and Divinization respectively but reject apotheosis?

message: This whole article suffers from WP:NOTDIC. Basically, it focuses too much on the word 'apotheosis' rather than the concept.If a word has multiple meanings, Wikipedia standard is to split it into multiple articles. One for each topic. I believe this article should focus on the theological meaning. Other metaphorical meanings should be split into other articles. Ashmoo (talk) 11:59, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I half agree. I think the article should concentrate on the contexts where this is actually the normal and appropriate word commonly used. That means a) ancient religion and b) art, ancient and modern. All the "modern" religious sections for Christianity & LDS have their own long articles under the different terms that they actually use themselves, and should be reduced to summaries with links.

message: C'mon folks; you can't leave these apotheosized concepts out of the Greek or Christian sections. The Gospel of John explicitly calls Jesus "Word."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:8C0:980:E520:406C:784F:2E6B:19A6 (talk) 17:28, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
