    Contributed by James Groce on Jul 17, 2002
    based on 61 ratings
     | 5,506 views

    "Amen" is far more meaningful than a period, a stop, or a signing-off word by which a prayer, song, or declaration is terminated.

It is variously translated Surely, Sure, Truth, Verily and Amen! Bullinger says ...read more
