Why Mistakes & Sin Can Actually Make Us Greater Than Angels - Rabbi Yitzchak Botton

When students want to be teachers, just just be prepared for a mess when they would be so lucky and benefit [music] from so much for being our students. They have made so many mistakes. They perverted everything. I mean, they've taken everything that we have and just made a mishmash out of it. Um, let me let me just give a few a few things. The idea of being born in sin. When they say that we were born in sin and so it's we're [music] helpless, they don't realize what they're saying is God doesn't know what he's doing. Because if God created us >> [music] >> and that we should sin, so God made a mistake? No. God didn't make a mistake. He wants us to to worship our brothers. That's nonsense. If God is perfect [music] then and we sin, that means part of God's plan was ultimately that we would have the challenge of sin. And there are two ways to overcome sin, to be perfect or or to mess up. But the perfection that comes as the result of messing up that when you fix your own mess, that's God-like. So, [music] instead of understanding, of course we're born in sin because only from being born and set up to sin can we actually rise to the level of God-like and become partners with God in creation because we fix the mess. It's not the mess that we that we should be blamed for. It's fixing the mess. Like we started off with partners in life, not partners in crime. But through first stumbling in sin and then you beat the sin, you transcend it and transform it, we rise higher than the angels. So, that's that's one of their mistakes.
