In current usage, the term "amen" has become little more than a ritualized conclusion to prayers. Yet the Hebrew and Greek words for amen appear hundreds of times in the Bible and have several uses. Amen is a transliteration of the Hebrew word amen [em'a]. The verb form occurs more than one hundred times in the Old Testament and means to take care, to be faithful, reliable or established, or to believe someone or something. The idea of something that is faithful, reliable, or believable seems to lie behind the use of amen as an exclamation on twenty-five solemn occasions in the Old Testament. Israel said "amen" to join in the praises of God ( 1 Chron 16:36 ; Neh 8:6 ; and at the end of each of the first four books of Psalms, 41:13 ; 72:19 ; 89:52 ; 106:48 ).

the Roman Empire never actually fell...The United States and all of Western Civilization are extensions of the Roman Empire    Christianity is the tie that binds Rome to today...once it became popular in Rome, it spread everywhere like the romans did. 

 

The Eastern Roman empire which was mostly Greek did not fall to Islam until the fifteenth century.   Then the Holy Roman Empire rose in Europe and finally you have the United States which was founded by Christians from Spain, the same Spaniards that beat back the Moors who were Islamic.   Those same Spaniards were very active in middle tennessee, they fought four major battles with the indians in Lawrenceburg, marched through Hohenwald an Collinwood and many other places...fyi

Some of my Hebrew brethren also say Jesus means hail Zeus. Which is also BS

right, but it was used in egypt thousands of years before the bible...the Egyptian God was Amen and when they spoke his name at the end of prayers they were saying thanks to God...Amen

by the time Jesus came Zeus was no longer called Zeus, he was called Jupiter I believe...Zeus is ancient greek...long before Jesus

BS is dissing something you know nothing about

Understanding the New Testament takes reading of the New Testament 

But that only benefits one with a desire to believe what you're reading.

 

I just read an article of a local preacher that started studying all these other books, religions, philosophies, evolution and so on and just decided one day that he is an atheist!!! "There is no God" he said....WOW!

 

The Bible instructs me to stay away from such lest I give place to the Devil!

 

Guess I'm just ignorant, but the Bible is all I need and want

when you end a prayer with the word Amen you are praising the primary egyptian diety of antiquity...Amen was his name. The Pharohs included Amen as part of their name since they considered themselves God example Amenhotep Tukankamen, etc. I always thought it was ironic that Christians praised Amen too but its also kinda cool that it has passed down throught the centuries and Amen still gets his due after thousands of years

it means you agree with what was said.

Rome was  for sure was brought to nothing....Rome demanded worship to false gods, emperors....Christianity was actually outlawed and they sought to wipe out 'that Way"....And they thought they were successful more that once only to see they were wrong and could not destroy those of 'the Way".

Still, the Bible is the only thing, IN THIS WORLD, that means anything
