In Reply to: NOW FOR THE CHRISTIAN "AMEN"... posted by Lou on September 14, 1997 at 12:50:51:
: The Christian "Amen"...
: HaSatan is very subtle... In some Bible versions we see the SPECIAL treatment that the Hebrew word ‘amen’ is given, especially in the appendix to the tanakh, the NT...
: Why the translators didn’t translate ‘amen’ from the Hebrew into our English as ‘so let it be!’ or any of its synonyms? It was left untranslated in the Bible versions of practically every single language in the world... They claim that "Amen" is the most common word in any language... WOW! What a respect for a word... it was TREATED AS A PROPER NAME!!! It was transliterated! Why they didn’t do the same with YaHWeH’s sacred name?... You wonder... It all boils down to the fact that HaSatan is behind all this, and he got the Christians fooled, and a lot of "Messianic Jews", too!!!!
: Notice how in many Bible versions the word ‘Amen’ is capitalized, even though it is not preceded by a dot.
: Check your Webster, or you American Heritage Dictionary for the word ‘Amen’ and you'll find out that it means..
: Amen -- also Amon. Egypcian mythology. The god of life and reproduction, represented as a man with a ram’s head.
: I can tell you the reasons why God's people (the Christians) love to attach a big AMEN..!! at the end of prayer to their pagan mighty one LORD GOD or Baal-GAD... But I let you guess... Don't forget that I keep saying that Christianity is deeply rooted in paganism...

Peace be upon you.
I have one response to your entire issue of Christianity having
its basis in paganism. I'm afraid that you have mistaken true
Christianity with this version taught by our European brothers.
The history of Christianity does not begin in Egypt or with any
Egyptian god. If it did, would not the Messiah be from Egypt and
would not his original followers been Egyptian. I can understand
your disbelief in a religion that as we see it today is filled
with commercialism and socialism yet little spiritualism. However, I still point out that especially in America, what we see is the result of a group of people distorting Christianity and the Holy Bible to service their purpose which is total power. Many of those who taught Christianity in America were those who practiced such things as brutal slavery, rape, murder, fornication, theft and a list of other immoral sins. Never once did the Messiah pray to any wooden cross or statue. He prayed to Elohim, the Creator. Christians should take his example but yet few do. My only request is that before you label any religion or denounce any belief, know more about its origin and how it is supposed to be followed. Then you will see what falls into paganism. And remember that El-Elyon is everywhere. So whether a Christian bows with their face to the ground or holds it high to the sky, our God, Elohim is their. His spirit is everywhere.
I pray that peace and blessings be upon you from now and forever,
you brother in life, Ara.
