Subject: Who was Abraham ?

Bible Note: No Steve, Scripture says Abe came from Ur of the Chaldees. It is only a recent interpretation, from Wooley, that it is the Ur of Southern Mesopotamia, Ur of the Sumerians. It only became Chaldean around 600 BC. There is another Ur. It is just north of Haran. It is called Sanliurfa now. The name means glorious Urfa. Muslims have consitered it the traditional birthplace of Abraham for far longer than Wooley's Idea. Furthermore, Abraham told his servant to go to his birthplace, and the servant went to the region around Haran. My country is also translated my native land (eg NIV)and the Hebrew means my birthland. Aram was never southern Mesopotamia. Naharaim means between the rivers. Gen 24:1-10
You are very right about obedience, but obedience does not earn us anything. Abe was the first to gain righteousness by faith, and have obedience be the outcome.This was a radically different concept that he received from God, and spread to others.
