Abraham was never a idolator, read about him, learn about him, sad at the events of the beginning of his life had to begin , but when it's the will of God we do not question it.

The main lesson Christ teaches us over over is that there is no separate God--God is within all of us. whatever you do to the least among you--you do to me You are the light of the world Sermon on the Mount -suffer little children to me for such is the Kingdom of God!

Why not? I got lots of questions for God. I know what ever He does is right but I want to know why?

We are not to question God, when we ask why we question his works. Just know that the bad happens because of bad choices people make. The good happens because of our relationship with God we know to do good. Faith leads us to do good, Satan leads us to do bad. God gave us the right to choose our actions. Just know God knows best, we must except and receive.

Show me in the bible where we are not to question God.

It does not say so in the Bible. There is a difference in asking a question, and questioning what he has allowed. Abraham asked questions, but did no question why.

I think it's good to ask God our questions, but not with impure motives or in a disrespectful distrusting manner. Romans 9:20

Abraham was a pagan living in the Land of the Ur with everyone else worshipping the same gods. It wasn't until God called upon him to move, which begs me to ask the question, why did God pick Abraham from all the other pagans?

"By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went." Hebrews 11:8. Abraham's unquestioning obedience is one of the most striking evidences of faith to be found in all the Bible. To him, faith was "the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Verse 1. Relying upon the divine promise, without the least outward assurance of its fulfillment, he abandoned home and kindred and native land, and went forth, he knew not whither, to follow where God should lead. PATRIARCHS & PROPHETS p. 126

God shows his love and no favoritism by choosing the underdogs for great things. He chose people who had disabilities, speech issues, poor, murderers, in dysfunctional families for great things. It gives us hope.

God had to start somewhere. You would probably ask the same question had He chosen another.
