Why Abrahm from Ur? Why not Imotep from Egypt or Hwai Do from China?

[QUOTE="eleos1954, post: 76875166, member: 404063"] The Bible states that Abraham was raised in “Ur of the Chaldeans” Temples were numerous in Chaldea, and so were the priests. The gods were worshiped with sacrifices of brutes and human beings, with offerings of flowers, fruits, and bread, with instrumental and vocal music, dancing, and prayer. That is not to say there was evil going on in other places ... but God called Abram out of Ur to separate him from the influence of it. Also, it was not the land that God had promised to him. Genesis 12 [SIZE=4][B]The Call of Abram[/B] [B][/B][/SIZE] 12 The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you. 2 “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. 3 I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” Babylonia is sometimes called Shinar or the land of Babylon, but usually it is called the land of the Chaldeans. Its inhabitants are a few times referred to as Babylonians, but usually as Chaldeans. [/QUOTE]
