: : : : Shalom Lou: : : I am sitting here puzzled, please can you help me here. Are you saying that I must not use the word "Amen" at the end of my prayer? : : I did look it up in my dictionary..The Merriam Webster..this is what it says. : : Used esp. at the end of prayers to express solemn ratification or approval. : : It has me thinking....Often I listen to a christian radio broadcast..and I will hear the Pastor say after making what he felt to be a good point....Amen???? and then the folks will chorus...AMEN!!! Now, to me thats like saying..ya'll agree? and the folks saying Aye that we do! : : Then there is the "Amen" that follows prayer. Yes some folks shout it out like..We are in agreement with your prayer. : : I never did give it much thought until today. I was raised...what does the word Amen mean? : : Amen means it is true and certain, For YHWH has much more certainly heard my prayer that I feel it in my heart that I desire this of Him. The texts given me were Is. 65:24, 2 Cor 1:20, 2 Tim 2:13. : : Now..I go to the NT and look at the prayer our Father taught His disciples to pray... : : From Matt. 6 and Luke 11 : : Is it wrong to end with Amen? is there a right way to end? must we have a closing word? How bout, thank You for hearing YHWH... : : Your post left me uncertain if it is proper to use Amen anymore. : : love in Yahushua, : : your r confused sis, : : Tamar : Shalom Tamar, : In the Random House College Dictionary under "amen", it says: : it is so; so be it (used after a prayer.....) : The next word in the dictionary is "Amen" capitalized, and it says: : Egytian Myth. a primeval deity worshiped, esp. at Thebes, as the : personification of air or breath and represented either as a ram or a goose: later identified with Amen-Ra. also Amon : It is interesting to note that the Hebrew word is pronounced Ah-mane, and I believe that it is a different word than amen. It seems like ha satan caused a mistranslation from ah-mane to amen, instead of having it transliterated. : At the end of my prayers I usually say "HalleluYAH" : In Yahoshua, YermeYah
