does the bible says that we should end our prayers with 'amen'?where?

Answer 1

Hmm...not that I know of, but the meaning of the word is "so shall it be"

Answer 2

Yes it does. Jesus taught us the correct way to pray to God and at the end of what is called "The Lord's Prayer", Jesus himself said "Amen" ( Matthew 6:13)

At 1 Chronicles 15:36 --"Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting even to everlasting. And all the people said, Amen, and praised Jehovah." ASV

Psalm 41:13--"Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen."

In the book of Deuteronomy chapter 27 verses 15 through 26.
Verse 15 says "Cursed be the man that maketh a graven or molten image, an abomination unto Jehovah, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and setteth it up in secret. And all the people shall answer and say, Amen.

In the Hebrew Scriptures the word is used as a solemn expression to obligate oneself legally to an oath or covenant and its consequences (Nu 5:22; De 27:15-26; Ne 5:13), also as a solemn expression to subscribe to an expressed prayer (1Ch 16:36), to an expression of praise (Ne 8:6), or to an expressed purpose (1Ki 1:36; Jer 11:5). Each of the first four books, or collections, of the Psalms concludes with this expression, perhaps indicating that it was customary for the congregation of Israel to join in at the end of the song or psalm with an “Amen.”—Ps 41:13; 72:19; 89:52; 106:48.

Answer 3

No, it doesn't actually say so, and if you didn't say it, it doesn't mean that God won't listen to your prayer. It is just an extra "emphasis" for our request, etc, which means, "It shall be so" almost like convincing yourself that this prayer that you made will come to pass. Prayer is simply a talk with God, and the same way you can speak to one of your friends, you'd speak to God. For instance, that's why i feel bashful to pray for a group, because of the style of my prayer... I sound like I'm talking to someone who is in the room (which He is) but you know what i mean!
But anyway, back to the point, it's moreso that you're saying "it shall be so" at the end of your prayer.
But one other question... do Jews also say Amen at the end of a prayer?

Answer 4

It has been generally adopted in Christian worship as a concluding formula for prayers and hymns.
Definition
Amen: it is so; so be it (used after a prayer, creed, or other formal statement to express solemn ratification or agreement).

The Bible tells us how to pray in Matthew 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

6:10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

6:11 Give us this day our daily bread.

6:12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

6:13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Answer 5

Jesus told us how to pray. At the end of the prayer He told us to say Amen. He is the One that said to say it!
Mat 6:9-13 " After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as [it is] in heaven.Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen."
I hope this helps.

Answer 6

No it don't. Amen means LET it be so. Let is important here because it is one of the "keys" of the Kingdom. Where two or more shall agree as touching ANYTHING in prayer it shall be done in the heavens (then manifest in the earth). God already knows what we need, all you got to do is ask or LET it be so.

Answer 7

No, Amen simply means let it be so. We should end our prayers in the Name of Jesus.

Answer 8

I believe we say it because of tradition.
It means "let it be done" or "so shall it be"......feel free to be creative with how you end your prayers if you want. I guess the concept is that we end it acknowledging a finality to our prayers- putting it in God's hands- signifying that our issues are not longer in our hands.

How about these possibilities:

Get ir done
the end
bye bye
you've got it from here, God.
Have fun with these prayers God.
You can do it.
I'll talk to you later.
I'll call you later.
I hope this is cool, if not, let me know.
Thanks God.

Sometimes I say, "Thanks God, a men." or "The end"

Answer 9

Actually it forbids it, for amen is a reference to the Egyptian diety. The word meaning "so be it" or "let it be so" is Hebrew, and properly pronounced "a main" with the accent on the second syllable.

Answer 10

Everything does not have to be written in Bible.
It is not written anywhere there that U must breathe, but still we all do.
