Talk:amen

Etymology of Amen
Some guy told me that this word originated in Egypt, ie: "Amon" or "Ahmun" the sun god (also known as Amon-Ra). I checked into it and it seems plausible, see: http://www.behindthename.com/php/view.php?name=amen

Being a Christian I can understand that such thoughts could cause other Christian's considerable distress / anger.. but what if it is true? Perhaps we need to rethink some of our old doctrines?


 * Fear not: it's not true. I'm all for rethinking doctrine, but this specific point is not a reason. :-)  —Ruakh TALK 19:58, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek?
Why, I wonder, I the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek not listed here? Why only the modern languages?


 * What are you talking about? All three of those are listed here. You do realize that we list the languages in alphabetic order, don’t you? —Stephen (Talk) 03:03, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
 * There is no doubt that this word derives from Hebrew אמן amen. On this root the following words are built : emet "truth, fidelity", emunah "faith", etc.--Actarus (Prince d&#39;Euphor) 12:19, 7 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Because only the modern languages spell it this way; in Hebrew, for example, it is spelled, which is a separate page. —Ruakh TALK 19:58, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Phrase "Amen to that!"
Should that use be mentioned here, I wonder.
 * Is that distinct from the interjection sense? — Ungoliant (falai) 12:13, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
