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.
John 8: 31-33 Wrote:31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples.
32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
33 They answered him, “We are Abraham’s descendants and have never been slaves of anyone. How can you say that we shall be set free?”
Jesus did not refute them.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
