[QUOTE="Arctangent, post: 76896864, member: 444270"] The answer, I believe, lies in the fact that the story of the calling of Abraham follows immediately after the story of the Tower of Babel, and that Abraham's home was in the heart of the ancient Babylonian Empire (as opposed to the Neo-Babylonian Empire which took Judah into exile), which is the paradigmatic idolatrous civilization. Abraham was called out of the origin and capital of paganism and worship of false gods in order to be the father of a new nation which would worship the one true Most High God. [/QUOTE]
