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.
