Noah also was a servant and worshiper of Jehovah.... and he was never circumcised, yet he was Gods servant.
It is not necessary to be Jewish in order to worship God, so you're positing a false equivalency.
But i agree that Abraham was the beginning of the Jewish people as a nation which came to be through his son Isaac. Im just saying that he didnt personally practice 'Judaism' because it was not known to him as a religion back then.
All religions eveloive over time, and Judaism and Christianity are no exception to the rule. Abraham's beliefs eventually evolved along with other additions over time to become "Judaism". However, since both Christianity and Islam evolved out of Judaism, certainly it's quite acceptable for you and them to consider Abraham a "father".
With regard to Gods name, we cant' say it is or isnt being pronounced correctly because no one knows its actual pronunciation. It could very well be Jehovah. The real importance though is that its being pronounced at all and not being forgotten.
Not true when it comes to pronunciation because both oral and written Hebrew were never abandoned at any time. It evolved over the years, but the basic pronunciations didn't and hasn't changed.
