Shaykh Uthman

Like I'll say something like this real, right?

Like I'm not trying to get onto philosophy or anything like that, right?

Like I'm from the streets, right?

So I put everything in perspective.

So the idea was that the church told us that Adam ate an apple from a tree that he wasn't supposed to.

So every child is born with sin.

Well, that didn't make sense to me.

Like, I should be responsible for my sins, but you shouldn't be responsible for my sins, right?

Like, if your dad murdered somebody, is it okay for me to put something on your record for it?

No.

No, right?

That's your dad.

So if Adam did something, that's between him and God, not me, right?

Like, I shouldn't be born sinful because of somebody else's action.

So that didn't make sense to me.

And then the idea that God would send his son or himself or himself, who is his son?

I got confusing as well.

And us as humans killing him, torturously crucifying him makes up for that sin.

made even less sense.

That's like if I go into a store and I steal a piece of candy, or let's say my dad walks into a store and steals a piece of candy.
