Truth Exposed: Abraham
Abraham was born and raised in Ur of the Chaldees, Genesis 11:28-31, 12:1-6, a significant Sumerian city, and he, and all of his family, practiced pagan religions and worshiped the moon god Nanna. We are told this in Joshua 24:2. Have you ever thought of Abraham as a pagan? That seems to go against the grain, doesn’t it. And yet, all of us were pagans before God called us. Think about that. Abraham was a descendent of Shem, a son of Noah, so somewhere along the line he had heard about Yahweh. Just like us. Everybody has a pagan past. Everybody hears the call of God. Not everybody responds.
