The term "Amen"

[dtango]

Really? Because that's the day I'd apologize for being so rough, offer to buy you a beer, and congratulate you on a job well done.

Rhythm dearest!!

Hear this:

Revelation 3:14

And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write These things saith the Amen the faithful and true witness the beginning of the creation of God.

Amen is a proper name by which Jesus is called. In this case therefore Amen means god.

In all available Greek manuscripts the last phrase reads : «η αρχή της κτίσεως του Θεού», which means “the beginning of the building of the God”. Not “the beginning of the God’s creation” because Amen is called “faithful”, “true witness” and “beginning of the creation of God”.

Theologians knew that the building of the new idea of the God commenced with Amen!

Any time now Academia will inform Pope of this Amen fiasco and Pope will immediately put a stop to all these sinful invocations of Amen.
I expect that he will instruct the faithful to conclude instead their prayers with “Papa.”
