Bible Question:
"AMEN" Personally, I love saying "Amen" outloud. To me it means that what has just been said, is the truth and I am agreeing. I have been told by a certain person that by my saying "Amen" outloud in church is wrong because it is distracting and I am using it as an ordinary word with no thought behind it. I did try to explain that it makes me feel good to say it when something that is preached to us, sets me on fire for God and I know it is the truth because it is from the Bible. Make sense? Am I wrong to say "AMEN" aloud or does it mean the "END" of something and NOT the meaning I think it is. Mouse |
Bible Answer: As I understand it, the word AMEN simply means "so be it", which is close to the way you are using it. The person who objected to you using the word out loud in church may be the only one that has a problem with it. I noticed that you didn't say that the pastor said anything to you about it. If you are not disrupting the service and the pastor doesn't have a problem with it, I don't think you are doing anything wrong. |
