God spoke to people by dreams ,vision and audible voice In the bible days. And he still does

plappville:

Numbers 12:1-10 (KJV)

1And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.

2And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard it. God hear when we speak both evil or good with our mouth or heart

3(Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.)

4And the LORD spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the
congregation. And they three came out. they heard him openly
Have you considered the fact that Abraham family, his father was an idol worshiper, it was not as thou his father worshiped God, my question is what gave him that environment for God to have chosen him.

5And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth.

6And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream. @Jaogbage has already mentioned VISION AND DREAMS. now take not of what God said in verse 7 and 8

7[i]My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house.

8With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?[/i]God said he speaks with MOSES mouth to mouth even Apparently, Whaoo, what a wonderful God we sarve, Moses was a special servant of God so was Abraham, they hear the voice of God the way u hear someone talk to u.

9And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed.

10And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.

Have you considered the fact that Abraham family, his father was an idol worshiper, it was not as thou his father worshiped God, my question is what gave him that environment for God to have chosen him.

Well, to me, reading about Abraham in the bible, he was an unlikely candidate for God's favor.
Some words from Joshua 24:2 Discribing his past and forfathers profiles.

Joshua said to all the people, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Long ago your forefathers, including Terah the father of Abraham and Nahor, lived beyond the River and worshipped other gods."

This shows that Abraham grew up in a home that practiced idolatry. It is likely that Abraham had no real "faith" until God chose him to be the Father of the faithful.

He was a pagan yet God chose him. In fact, we see clearly that, as we read the Biblical testimony, it seems to be the way God
usually works. Hence it was not stated in the bible why God chosed him, we ought not to question God, his ways are not our
way. God can call anyone no matter his state. There are certain things not told in the bible for reasons we don't know.

Well said, but could it also have to do Noah his forefather who also heard from God, about the distruction of the earth with water.

My observation and maybe question is that considering the fact that the environment he grew up was that of idol worshipers, and I don't know if the gave an account of him not agreeing with his kings men, what was it about Abraham that cought the attention of God,

Well said, but could it also have to do Noah his forefather who also heard from God, about the distruction of the earth with water.

Mr Plappville, can you pleas give us some scriptural back to this facts. Thank you sir I will be very grateful if you do.

Abraham was said to be the tenth generation of Noah, being a direct descendant of Shem, (Noah's son), the father of all the "Semitic" peoples.

It was recorded in the (Midrashim A collections of rabbinic traditions) [/b]that when Abraham was born, Shem was 390 years Old, and his father Noah was 892 years old, Abraham was 58 years old when Noah died, and 110 years old when Shem died.

So It might be that Abraham Got some enlightenment about God from Noah.
He had idols and righteous forfathers so he may be a pagan at a stage and then become a believer at his later age.
[b]It may not be important to mention it in the bible.

U may see this, Be informed Its not from the scripture.

The bible in Gen 12:1-4 says Now the Lord said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will Shea thee: and I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
And other places in the bible

My observation and maybe question is that considering the fact that the environment he grew up was that of idol worshipers, and I don't know if the gave an account of him not agreeing with his kings men, what was it about Abraham that cought the attention of God, was as a result of the later account that he was a friend of God.

.., what was it about Abraham that cought the attention of God, was as a result of the later account that he was a friend of God.

Does the bolds states they are scripture facts?? No, Go through it again.
Even my previews post, i said it was not stated in the bible Abraham If he knew God befor call.
We only know he was from an idolatery home. But the Midrashim ve some history that are not mentioned in the bible. U can do some research about it urself.
