[Avodah] Akeidah vs. Chet Eigel

[Harvey Benton]

Theoretical Question:
We all know that Hashem punishes us slowly for the Chet Eigel; a little a time.  We also know that when needed (Rosh Hashanna, etc.) he recalls the zchus for us of  the Akeidas Yitzchak.  If the debt of one (Eigel) was approximately the same as the zchus of the other (Akeida), could we ask Hashem to let them cancel each other out?  and maybe call it even??  

Though perhaps we wouldn't have the zechus of the Akeida ready-at-hand when we needed it, we also wouldn't have the debt of the Chet Eigel hanging over our heads, and therefore it might be worth it for us, in the long and/or short runs.  Just a thought.  HB
