KILL’EM WITH SILENCE!! (Confronting Public Scrutiny)

Kaddish, The Jewish Mourner’s Prayer, and Aramaic – The Connection

Walking into a synagogue today, you may be surprised to hear the Kaddish being said – not in Hebrew, as you would expect, – but in Aramaic. The Kaddish is not some optional part of the service, rather it plays a significant role, and is a highly prized prayer. It seems strange that it should be in Aramaic.

Even our doctrinal standards we received from our fathers through history alone. Now, I desire the reader to see with his own mental eye, that our faith in the genuineness of these doctrinal standards rests solely on human testimony: that is, we believe on the evidence of the generations who have lived before us, that our Confessions, Covenants, etc., are true copies of those documents. But our belief so far is not saving faith – “the faith of God’s elect.” Having these documents handed down to us through history alone, then we compare them with the Bible. Can we perceive their agreement or disagreement without reasoning? No, surely.

Why the Kaddish, the Jewish Mourner’s Prayer, is in Aramaic, Not Hebrew

People often wonder why is the Jewish Kaddish in Aramaic? Why is it not Hebrew, as the rest of Jewish prayer is? The obvious answer is most of prayer was recited by the leader, a literate man, and therefore could be in Hebrew, but the Kaddish was recited by mourners, scholar and ignoramus alike.

God Is Both Good and Loving and That Is a Problem For Mankind

Everyone loves to talk about how “God is good” and “God is love” without ever recognizing the implications this brings for mankind. This stems from a lack of biblical understanding about the true nature of man, being dead in sin and truly evil. Most people, including people who call themselves Christians, like to think of mankind as inherently good with a little bit of evil showing through every now and then. However, the Bible paints a much different picture. People are inherently sinful and evil, and it is for this reason that “God being good” is a frightening fact.
