I believe the pagan 'god' Amun-Ra (Amen) was not a real god, rather, the Egyptians built statues and worshiped those statues.
I believe there is only one real God, and yes, that one real God is hidden from our sight.
The one real God is the true "Amen", in that sense, therefore.

According to the Bible in many passages we can see that ancient Israel indeed worshiped the sun and stars and the Egyptian gods and the other gods of the people around them - Ezekiel 8:16-17, Amos 5:26, 2 Kings 21:1-5
According to the Bible it was some of the very scribes(the writers/keepers of ancient Jewish scripture) and pharisees that caused Jesus to be put to death - John 11:45-54
Therefore it is no wonder if they also perhaps changed even some of the Torah and other prophetic writings to suit their anti-Christ agenda.

I have chosen to no longer say the word Amen, "let your word be Yea, yea; nay, nay" Matthew 5:37
I take that to mean, if you mean yes, say yes, not no; if you mean no, say no and not yes. Say what you mean.
So, if i think someone hearing me will not know what i mean by "Amen", i will say, "I agree" or "So be it" instead.

1 Corinthians 8:13
"Therefore if eating meat (in the presence of my brother) makes my brother become offended (have cause to sin, and also offended in the traditional sense) I will eat no flesh while the world stands, lest I make my brother to stumble."

Therefore, if i am in the presence of one who thinks the word Amen relates to an Egyptian god, i will not say the word Amen in the hopes that the very thought of any Egyptian 'god' does not enter any mind.

Also there is the history of the Bible.

The Geneva version of the Bible that was popular 51 years before King James has far less of the word "Amen" in the old testament.
The Geneva version of 1 Kings 1:36 does not say Amen, but rather "So be it; and the Lord of my lord the king ratify it"
Same with Jeremiah 28:6 - "So be it"

I think the word Amen was added into the Bible. Clearly it was added when going from the Geneva version to King James.
(it seems to me 1 Kings 1:36 was even re-worded such that it could be mistakenly taken as reference to a god named Amen)
(the Geneva translation makes more sense, both directly and grammatically)
As i said above; according to the Bible it was some of the very scribes(the writers/keepers of ancient Jewish scripture) and pharisees that caused Jesus to be put to death - John 11:45-54, 2nd Thessalonians 2:10-11
I think they also perhaps changed even some of the Torah and other prophetic writings to suit their anti-Christ agenda.

God is the ever existing single source of all things.
( Col 1:14-20, Rev. 4:11, Isaiah 45:6-7, Proverbs 8:22-23 )

1. God can not NOT be God.
2. God can not NOT know something.
3. God can not die/stop existing.

However, God DID experience all 3 of the above as Christ.
God created everything so that He could experience the above 3 things and relate to His creation,
while at the same time creating the ultimate way to demonstrate His love for His creation.

Jesus Christ from Nazareth was and is God in the Flesh the physical manifestation of God.
( 1st Timothy 3:16, Zechariah 12:10, Isaiah 9:6, John 14:9 )
