Abraham never had any flaws =) one may think that he was going to go ahead and kill his son Isaac was a flaw (he was listened to God) but that is a big opinion

Another answer:With the singular exception of Jesus Christ, EVERY character in The Bible - even the greatest "heroes" - had flaws. Instead of glossing over them, Scripture points them out so that they may serve as teaching examples.

A flaw that stands out in the case of Abraham is that he told a particular lie not just once, but twice, with nearly disastrous consequences:

Genesis 12:11-13 - And it came to pass, when he was close to entering Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, "Indeed I know that you are a woman of beautiful countenance. Therefore it will happen, when the Egyptians see you, that they will say, 'This is his wife'; and they will kill me, but they will let you live. Please say you are my sister, that it may be well with me for your sake, and that I may live because of you."

Genesis 20:1-3 - And Abraham journeyed from there to the South, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur, and stayed in Gerar. Now Abraham said of Sarah his wife, "She is my sister." And Abimelech king of Gerar sent and took Sarah. But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, "Indeed you are a dead man because of the woman whom you have taken, for she is a man's wife."

Despite his great faith, Abraham didn't trust God to keep him safe in this regard, so he resorted to lies instead.
