Summary: 



There seems to be some contradictions in your points Richard.

Egypt was slavery, bondage, and God did not bring His people out
to be what they would be or "I am what I am".. That was God's name,
not ours.  Anyone who continues in sin or the flesh, is a slave to
such.  

What did God do when He led them out of Egypt to the promised land?

The first thing He did was set down some LAWS and COMMANDMENTS!!!

Rules and regulations.  Restrictions.  Then He killed the ones
who disobeyed.  If you are going to use the story, use the complete
story.

The law came to show us our sin.  Our wickedness, our bent toward evil.
In Galatians you can read (and Romans) about how freedom is not freedome
to do as we please, but to be Holy and to do what is the most excellent
thing.

If I do not die to myself and my sin nature, then I can not live in
Jesus Christ.

Let me ask you this question.  IF Jesus asked you to give up
Homosexuality, or at least the practice, would you do it?  Is there
anything you would not give up or do for Him?  

I must ask myself this question and if there is, well, let's build
a statue and shrine because we will have discovered our god.

I do not fear you, but I can not call you brother, for you are not of
the same Spirit.

If we say that we have no sin, we lie and do not the truth ( I John)

I love and care even if I do not agree.
