Holy crap, he really thinks the Papyrus Brooklyn proves the Hebrews were slaves en masse in Egypt?
All it has is a list of "Asiatic" servants (which indicates the entire region of western Asia, including Canaan), many of whom have Semitic names, and ten of whom have names that we associate with Hebrew.
None of that demonstrates a damned thing in the Genesis/Exodus stories are true. It only indicates that the Egyptians had house servants (mainly female) who came from Semitic regions, which by the way they had conquered at that period of history (so it's hardly surprising they'd bring back slaves from that region). The rest is wishful thinking on your part.
And that "it's a title" defense is horse shit. "Adonai" is a title (meaning Lord, in the same sense that we'd use it in English to reference a nobleman or anyone who rules us, including a deity). El or Eloah is a singular word meaning "god", and Elohim is its plural. Period.

A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
