The Evil Prophet of the Bible: The Whole Story Doesn't Make Sense - until now

I'm Catholic but I learn so much from these videos. After all, whether we are Christian, Jewish, or Muslim, we all worship the God of Abraham.

[@J5460-r8z]

Muslims do not worship the God of Abraham. Read the Kuran then you will see , all of Islam is a lie. Remember what Paul says " I don't care if an angle comes down, if he preaches a different gospel he is a liar." The Koran is a different gospel.

About the love thing, animals don't naturally need our love because they don't naturally need us. Domesticated animals can end up missing us, we have a duty to love them at that point. Last but not least plants aren't objects, they are living creatures capable of perceiving and reacting to the world around them. Objects themselves aren't just there to be used, Moses was asked to talk to a rock. Their main purpose is usage but then again the main purpose of a rock isn't to make water.

[@walterbaltzley4546]

To commune with GOD and see him face-to-face, one must SEEK this experience and be in the right frame of mind. The reason why Baalim could see GOD, but not the angel is simple -- He initially wanted to speak to GOD, believing GOD would grant his desire to curse some random desert wanderers and collect a substantial reward...GOD always answers a prayer made in good faith. When GOD tells Baalim NO and informs him that these are his chosen people, Ballim is disappointed, and his heart was no longer in the right place. That is why he could not see the angel. Notice also, as Baalim studies the Camp of Israel, God shows Baalim the beauty of the camp --GOD is showing Baalim WHY he loves the Children of Israel... The King had offered Baalim his treasures, now GOD is showing his wares.... Unfortunately, Baalim set his heart upon the gold of this world, and rather than loving God's Chosen People, he sought to destroy that which made them beautiful. If he could not use the power of God to curse them, then the King could use the power of sin to get them to curse themselves. The purpose of this life is for us to prove ourselves -- to discover what lies at the heart of our true nature... Whether we desire the things of GOD, of MEN, or EVIL... Baalim proved that he loved mammon more than righteousness, and was willing to destroy good to obtain gold.

[@bladimirbetancur327]

The whole moral of the story is that curses only work when you do bad deeds .only negative actions bring negative consequences . And positive ones brings forth positive ones .So the reason bilam could see God was because God was making an example out of him to the people hiring him to let them know through him that Israel is protected by God himself.and because their holiness and fulfillment of commandments were done nothing could ever touch Israel encampment. Then Bilam found out that by making them sin they could be revoked of their divine protection So bilam was wicked indeed the worst one ever Because he was conspiring ways to achieve that by tricking Israel,. And it baffles me that God allowed him to see Him just like Cain could see God after murdering his brother , or Moses later on when murdered the Egyptian just defending the Israelite from being beaten , So all these men really didn't have a clean soul. They all sinned really bad high level sins and yet they saw God. Is just that God's love is infinite. And like you said God is desperate for us No matter what we do as long as we repent sincerely and deeply He will always be there for us as long as your heart is in the right place , when I said in the right place it means same level as God's consciousness and state of manifestation while you call it holy or clean or pure , is really about remaining on the same God's perspective ,standpoint view, thought process , analytical mind , Same creative standing and spiritual level . He just wants something very specific with each chosen servant throughout all generations because each individual chosen servant has a set of skills and talents that not everybody has so God works with the best each one has and help them tremendously never ending , so I cannot say that a prophet is better than others because that would make an injustice to the rest of servants that did their part in the narrative , according to their attributes a,skills ,gifts , powers , holiness, whatever else is there, so each one of us has something jthat God specifically use for His plans and purposes ,even though we all know that God created all those things He just does it just for the sake of sharing his plans and goals using us together fulfill it. God does not want to do all things alone all the time hence the word God made man is his image in his likeness ,therefore He sits in our crown to help us do things together shared.

Strange you did not mention Moshe rabinu even once. You mentioned David Melekh, Mashiah , but usually when a rabbi lectures on Bilaam he tends to show all the opposite sides of Bilaam on Moshe.

It is really a deep mystery that a person could reach such a high level of impurity , unholiness , and wickedness (level 50 even greater in absolute terms to Moshe’s level of greatness and holiness which is 49) and still see Adonai.
