P-Marlowe- Abraham was not a Christian nor was he a Jew when God met Him, He was a sinner as we are all, he came form UR of the Chaldees. I am not inferring that Abraham was an idolater , God said after naimg Abraham, Terah and Nahor, They served other Godsin a way everyone who is a sinner is an idolatervs 2 "Your Fathers..." verse 3 "I took your Father,Abraham...Thanks

Actually in your article you stated is as a fact.
"Abrahan was an idolater...." (paragraph 3).

From your latest post it would appear that you are now asserting that Abraham MIGHT HAVE BEEN an idolater. I would agree with such a statement, but I don't think I would go so far (at least not based on the scriptures you presented) that Abraham WAS an idolater.

Do you have any other scriptures which would support the inference?

[P-Marlowe]

After reading the passage I believe the inference is that Abraham did not serve other Gods.

In verse 2 God states that those who served other gods included Terah the father of Abraham, but in the next verse it states that Abraham was different. "But I took your father Abraham from beyond the Eurphrates..." (NET) The inference there is that the serving of other Gods by the fathers of Israel ended with Terah and that Abraham was not numbered among them.

I'm pinging some others to chime in on this one.

Thanks.
