Re: Re: on original sin

> actually, what is talked about is adam's future children, not his
children's children

Arabic: min (from) banee adama (children of Adam) min (from) thuhoorihim
(their loins) thurriyyatahum (their descendants)

The *their* refers not to Adam (AS), but children of Adam.

Yusuf Ali: "drew forth from the Children of Adam - from *their* loins -
*their* descendants"
Shakir: "brought forth from the children of Adam, from *their* backs,
*their* descendants"
Pickthall: "brought forth from the Children of Adam, from *their* reins,
*their* seed"

> by the way, from a translator who actually spoke arabic as his first
language;

Khalifa: "summoned all the descendants of Adam"   ????

Yeah, makes you wonder.
