But God has incarnated according to the Hindus long before the belief of current christians.
And what if the people of Abraham (pbuh) also believed that God already had incarnated.
This means they worshiped icons of God, no?
And according Genesis 18:1, God already incarnated to Abraham (pbuh):
Afterward Jehovah appeared to him among the big trees of MamĀ“re, while he was sitting at the entrance of the tent about the heat of the day
So it was possible for Abraham (pbuh) to make icons of God, no?
What kinds of icons of God do christians think Abraham (pbuh) worshiped?
Would they be similar to the icons of God that todays christians worship?

So basically you are saying that Abraham actually worshiped ONE TRUE GOD (with no persons)?

Yes we do. You and I know that bible is full with errors and mistakes (factual and non). Even all bible scholars know that. I assumed you have read bible, no?
Do you want me to list all those errors so you might try to explain how those errors came into being?
I gave you one example already about three angels appeared to Abraham (pbuh) and the same exact angels reduced to two when appeared to Lot (pbut).
Now, please andswer this question:
Did Lot (pbut) worship a two persons God?
