Professor Tom Meyer from Shasta Bible College and Graduate School in California, US, told Express.co.uk: "Balaam is probably best remembered for the Biblical account of his donkey speaking to him in a human voice to stop his insane action of cursing God’s chosen people Israel.

It's not rocket science. Certain stories/names in the bible were adapted from somewhere or events that actually happened. Same way the Spider-Man movie is based in a real location, (New York) but we can't conclude that a man who shoots spider webs and flies in the air exists. But I don't expect much from folks who won't read the article but jump into conclusions that a donkey once talked simply because an inscription which contained a name was found. It's only a brain dead mofo that'll believe a snake and donkey talked simply because a 2000 year old book said so. But you'll call these same archeologists liars when they show you 'alleged' bone fossils of Dinosaurs. Who is fooling who? 119 Likes 18 Shares |

I really love that talking donkey part: Numbers 22:27-30 (KJV) And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff. And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times? And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee. And the ass said unto Balaam, Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee? And he said, Nay. That talking donkey saved that fool's ass... Numbers 22:31-33 (KJV) Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face. And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? behold, I went out to withstand thee, because thy way is perverse before me: And the ass saw me, and turned from me these three times: unless she had turned from me, surely now also I had slain thee, and saved her alive. I think far less credit was being given to that talking donkey than it deserved for saving her master's life, and also being much wiser than him and many humans. A lot of human lives would be saved if they listened more to the "voices" of animals. God bless. P.s. All these atheists here arguing foolishly, they could learn a thing or two from Balaam's story, because the animals are not that foolish. 79 Likes 9 Shares

Balaam, Balak and God's People ( Isreal) Whom God Has Blessed ! No Man Can Curse.. It's Just the Mercy of God that Made the Donkey to open Its Mouth to Speak! If not Balaam who have been Slain by the angel.. The Same way GOD Almighty is Speaking to many of you today, asking you to Pull out From Iniquities and sins. Many of are Stubborn, Insulting and Castigating the Preacher or may you are Expecting another Donkey to talk.. Don't wait until you Destroy your Soul! Humble yourself, Heed the Messages and Surrender to JESUS CHRIST.. There is No more Time.. 85 Likes 3 Shares |

kingxsamz: You don't know if Caesars existed. Meaning that you don't know if there was a Roman Empire. And you are here glibly making noise about people who know better than you do. You don't know anything than to destroy. Your post was not avoided but deliberately ignored because i have told you several times. You don't compare apples and carrots, or put birds and lions in the same class. You are asking why people question dinosaur discovery and do not question this. Did you read the OP at all? It says that there was excavation, they found broken pieces like a jigsaw puzzle. The pieces are about 2800years old. They pieced them together. They found writings of people who at that time believed Balaam existed. This is very straight forward and documentary. It is not finding a particle, and telling us this is Lucy the dinosaur who lived 40million years ago and flew eating it's best food eba. But it had a rival that killed it and its family out of jealousy. That is tales by moonlight. FOR children like you to be happy and clap. 43 Likes 3 Shares |

Image123: So If I don't know anything about a Roman Empire or someone named Ceasar, that automatically makes my opinion invalid on topics which are clearly not related to Ceasar? And I'm pretty sure there's a handful of people here who don't even know anything about Ceasar. So if I ask you "How were the heavy elements from iron to uranium made?" , and you respond with "I don't know". Does that mean you don't know anything or you don't know more than others? And you're too blind to notice where I said it's not rocket science that certain stories in the bible are based off real people or real events. You failed to notice that I wasn't arguing the existence of some "Balaam". My comment was actually directed at those who believe that a Donkey and Snake talked and engaged in a conversation like a human, and not actually discrediting this research. And you brought up Ceasar and Roman empire like I mentioned it or as if it had anything to do with my write up or the Op's. ![]() 17 Likes 2 Shares |
