Amen...

Amen, means "so be it" as in agreement. We end prayers with Amen as we are in agreement with the prayer.

Also said in Greek and Slavonic (translitterating)

Amin (Ah-meen')

It was also used by Christ when He wanted to emphasize a point, i.e. surely this is true, translated in KJV as Verily.

"Amen, Amen, I say to you...."

"Verily, Verily, I say to you..."

"Truly, Truly, I say to you..."

I read years ago that the word "amen" had its roots in the name of the Egyptian god Amen, or Amenhotep, or something similar. Does anybody know anything about this?

Amen (heb. and Greek hold same meaning just slightly different translations)It means True and Faithful It was a custom which passed over from the synagogues into the christian assemblies that when he who had readd or discoursed had offerd up a solem prayer to God, the others in attendce responded Amen then at times followed with so be it and by saying Amen this made the substance of what was offerd their own.
