Amen - The supreme God in Pagan religion?

[502mania]

Amen is really the supreme god in egyptian paganism?
Then why is it at the end of prayers and througout the bible?

[amen] is one of the few words of scripture which is written in it's original Hebrew form. In fact, it is practically a universal word, having been adopted directly from the Hebrew into Greek, Latin, English, Spanish, and many other languages. Found both in the Old and the New Testaments, it is also translated in different ways, depending upon the context of the passage in which it is found. This Hebrew Amen is derived from the root [aman], which means to be firm or solid in the sense of permanency. Thus by implication, it means to be sure, true or faithful. So whenever we see this word Amen used in scripture, it is affirming truth, or illustrating something is said that is of absolute certainty.

So the egytians adopted it from them? and there's a lot of stuff with egyptian origin around.

I don't know but it was part of the Hebrew language and it was used with the meaning I posted in the article. They may not have anything to do with one another.

The name of the egyptian god was AMMON Also AMON; AMUN; AMEN. The original word for the god was ammon but through different areas it was pronounced and spelled differently. Kind of like theatre and theater or colour and color; depending on where you live determines the dominate spelling.

Also the root for Amen in the bible was aman, so the root differs from the original and dominate word for the god in question. I think they are totally unrelated.

Based on my research, egyptan vowels were versatile and interchangable. like Amen can be spelled amen, omon, oman, amon, amun, omen, etc. I saw a video and it made me look into this topic. some of the video is plain  OUTRAGEOUS and dosen't make sense. Like it says things like - The Old Test "Amen" t - and they have the theory that the entire bible descends from egyptian pharoes and pagans. This video has some (again) PLAIN OUTRAGEOUS thories but some are questionable.

ok well the Old Test "Amen" t is just a play on that word lol. The word testament has a meaning that has nothing to with the word amen. That's like me saying Tomato  was invented by a man named Tom. That's dumb! Anyhow yes the original languages of the bible used interchangeable vowels. You have to remember that the bible was written by men who used the language of their time, what else would they use?? Language evolves, that doesn't mean there is hidden meaning in any words they use because of a particular word having meaning to some other peoples.

The bible doesn't descend from anyone. As far as I know, there was never any contention with who the authors of the books are. They were real people and from some authors we know a little about their background through historical records outside of the bible. They wrote the things they saw, they wrote what God told me, they wrote their feelings.....it doesn't make any sense to try and claim it was anything outside of that. You can have issue with what the writers say, but that's different than claiming it is descended from pharaohs and pagans. The writers of the various books of the bible were neither of those things.
