Out of Egypt

OK, you state that the christian testament uses Egypt as a metaphor for sin and then you quote the Torah. This is confusing. Also a good number of the Israelites remained in Egypt. They did not flee with Moses. I do not think of Egypt as a Metaphor for sin. It is a Metaphor for change. The world of the Isrealites changed forever as of that time. From that point on, they finally began the struggle with Monotheism in earnest. They still failed and had to pick themselves up and begin again, but they really started to work at this Monotheism idea. Jews do not concentrate on sin as much as trying to fullfill as many mitzvot as possible. When one sins, one goes to the person harmed and asks forgiveness. If forgiveness is not given a Jew must try two more times. After that, there is nothing one can do except feel inner sorrow. If one sins against G'd, one asks forgiveness of G'd, especially at Yom Kippur. To overcome sin and temptation, one concentrates on fullfilling the Mitzvot of the Torah. Shalom~Adoniah

I do still struggle with sin. to overcome sin and temptation I pray, doesnt allways work.

I'm going to think more about this as the sin in my life is usually created through the works of others. I generally admit to the errors of my ways, but do I see others also following in the ways of righteousness? Some do and some do not.
