What was Abraham's original nationality according to this teaching?

According to this teaching, Abraham's original nationality was Syrian, not Jewish. He came from Ur of the Chaldeans, and Sarai was also Syrian. Though he became the father of the Jewish people, he was originally a Syrian. The teaching corrects the assumption that he was a Jew.

Les explains that Abraham appears on the scene at 2,000 B.C., coming out of Ur of the Chaldeans. He notes that Abraham was a Syrian, not a Jew, and that Sarai was also Syrian. Though Abraham became the father of the Jewish people, his original nationality was Syrian. God picked this one man out of the race of Adam to bring about a nation through which He would communicate the plan of redemption, giving him the Abrahamic covenant in Genesis 12.

Was Abraham originally a Jew?

Abraham was not originally a Jew; he was a Syrian from Ur of the Chaldeans. He became the father of the Jewish people, but his original identity was Syrian, just as Sarai was. God called him out to establish a nation through which redemption would come.
