Quoting: Anonymous Coward 765920The word Amen is actually an Egyptian word and that is where the Hebrews took the word from. Amen-Ra: The Sun God..

Shingen User ID: 762457 ![]() 09/08/2009 05:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Be that as it is, I'm using it to agree with the quoted poster. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 765920Be that as it may.. words mean things.. thats why we use them. the "AMEN" word, does not technically mean "agreement". Historically, it is a confirmation of a religious sect, to a certain prayer or directive from a Church or Spiritual leader. If you go further into the rabbit hole, it really means The Sun God..The God of War.. opposition, conflict, destruction.. the Sun rising against the Darkness of night, in Warfare. Not that I disagree with u in anyway, shape or form..nor do I tend to insult u.. however words mean things subconsciously. The word "Amen" means to disagree.. to "rise against"... and to affirm that Amen-Ra, the God of War, is the one True God. Now most English dictionaries will lie to you and tell you that its an affirmation, but it isn't. Just a little meaningless trivia for u.. take it or leave it at ur leisure,...

Quoting: ShingenUhm, are you saying that if everyone was as knowledgable as you, then people wouldn't use "Amen" as the affirmation of their prayers? Is that your point? Because if so, that's dumb. What would people say at the end of their prayers if your point gets across to the whole world? Is some preacher going to say "Can I get an UH-HUH!?" because that doesn't carry the pagan implications of your point? Are choirs around the world going to suddenly end their hymns with "Oooookay then!!!" instead of Amen? No. People will shrug their shoulders and continue saying Amen in agreement, and you'll be the one who looks silly as people just get your point, realize it is lame, and move on with saying "Amen". What other things do you think they'll be moving on to? Fun things? |

Is that your point? Ok, so what does that have to do with the actual origin and meaning of the term "Amen"? Because if so, that's dumb. "Dumb", is refusing to learn. What would people say at the end of their prayers if your point gets across to the whole world? Is some preacher going to say "Can I get an UH-HUH!?" because that doesn't carry the pagan implications of your point? I have no opinion. I'm not religious, nor do I follow any man-made dogmas. I assume they can say whatever word they want, however, it doesn't change the origin of the word "Amen", nor does it change it's meaning subliminally. Are choirs around the world going to suddenly end their hymns with "Oooookay then!!!" instead of Amen? No. See above. People will shrug their shoulders and continue saying Amen in agreement, and you'll be the one who looks silly as people just get your point, realize it is lame, and move on with saying "Amen". True, but, still.. the actual meaning and history of the term is relevant. It means that stupid people are really praying to the "God" of an ancient Egyptian religion.

Lotus Feet (OP) User ID: 602386 ![]() 09/09/2009 05:08 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The original in Hebrew AM = It means verily, truly, so be it.

It was a custom, which passed over from the synagogues to the Christian assemblies, that when he who had read or discoursed, had offered up solemn prayer to God, the others responded Amen, and thus made the substance of what was uttered their own. The word "amen" is a most remarkable word. It was transliterated directly from the Hebrew into the Greek of the New Testament, then into Latin and into English and many other languages, so that it is practically a universal word. It has been called the best known word in human speech. The word is directly related -- in fact, almost identical -- to the Hebrew word for "believe" (amam), or faithful. Thus, it came to mean "sure" or "truly", an expression of absolute trust and confidence. -- HMM [link to www.studylight.org] In the ancient pictographs from right to left Ox head, (male) water, (female) seed (sperm). It can also mean one who is firm in his talents. Lotus Last Edited by Lotus Feet on 09/09/2009 05:16 AM i love satan |
