Kewl - the word “Amen” is used in 72 verses in the King James translation! That’ll do.

I see you counted more “Amen”s in the King James at 1197 than I found. So much the better!

Probably why the Catholics earlier in the thread excluded Baptists as Protestants for the purpose of the 'wager'. Ten minutes into the service, and the 'Amen' corner would have covered the 72 easily. One thing I wondered though was what translation of the Bible would be acceptable? Maccabees? Tobit? LOL. Saint Jerome found them unacceptable as Scripture. But then Jerome was an 'early' saint, before the infallible Catechism.

Matins

Only four Amens, but the opening hymn and subsequent ones used to be sung with Amen. So that's another three. Sermon text, and good Lutheran hymns are based on scriptural passages, since the Mass exemplar didn't require word for word anyway, it would be a runaway. But then Lutherans, at least the Confessional ones don't consider ourselves as Protestants anyway, so we'd likely be banned in the next iteration of the rules. I wonder how the EOs would fare? They currently protest Rome, and even have their own schism. We just got the T-shirt and a Reformation. Thank God for His mercy.
