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.

[@issasafar1107]

Who is god how does he look like the research is been resolved and there is no evidence of god and who he is some person who is write a book and convince that there is a god and all prophets have all spoken to him. Did you all know that all prophets are all Judaism even muhammad prophet who had a different name and he converted him self to Muslim and name Muhammed because god spoken to him yes he was a jew in that time. These prophets have been mentaly been Schizophrenia mentaly hearing things, talking to someone not present, dreaming, seeing things, (hallucinations) false ideas (delusions); disordered thoughts and problems with feelings, behaviour and motivation. Yes this mental health is been for a very long time time of AB, BC it was the way people used to gather and join and talk about planning things. This caused them to make other people to believe and follow there ways. Its a symptoms that has been for many years till know and its still present.

Also, the video regarding seeing in context of Godliness is a different video from that discussing seeing in regards to pornography... The ideas the rabbi is explaining are written explicitly in Chassidic teachings. I realize people don't like that which is different or unfamiliar to them, but it is no need to falter to such low depths of human behavior

[@westar1234]

Oh yes Rabbi does say that God needs us and we don't need God. Like the child says to his parent: I did not ask to be born. When we were born and we did not give permission but God (in his wisdom) needed us and that is why he made us. We humans think of need as a sign of weakness. Not true.

[@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.

[@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.

I bet Balaam felt like a fool then. evil, not evil. everybody, but everybody gets a bad thought now and again. I am Catholic. like it or lump it, I wasn't born Jewish, maybe people don't care, but I just love Jewish people. I am grateful they even exist. I say they because I am not Semitic. as a Catholic I can claim to be circumcised in my heart, besides; thank the Maker for modern medicine huh? plus I do what I can to live up to it. turns out; this servant is less than steller perfect. this is why when I fail when I stumble I know I can get back up again.

Yehovah our Elohim destroy this satanist Tempel two times because the jews called on Ashtoreth and Yehovah on the same building, Yehovah never asks the jews to build this temple but this was made by the satanist Levites and Aaron family they warship Ashtoreth from Egypt and they continue their tradition, they never accepted Yehovah our Elohim, is exactly the way I tell you that God is a devil spirit from Isaiah 65:11 you find it in the Torah however you never call on Yehovah as our Elohim but you call the devil god read Psalm 96: 5 read Joel 2:32 anyone which will call the name Yehovah will be saved (what you will do rabbi ? you will call on God? ) read Isaiah 43:11 Yehovah is the only savior !!!!! read Jeremiah 17:5 this verse speaks against the rabbi's teachings, but you as a satanist you follow Devarim 17, read again 2 kings 1: 8-12 Yehovah killed burned the 100 idiots or read Exod 32: 25-29 the one who followed Aaron were killed!!!!! learn to separate Moses from the devil named Aaron, Moses remained in madyan with Jethro and with the holy jews the idiots' jews have been cast out from madyan from the holy mountain Horeb read Exod 3:12 THE HOREB IS THE HOLY LOCATION FOREVER AND FOREVER

Sounds like made up stories that try to solve or anticipate problems that may arise in the more inquisitive about the nature of God ( if indeed there is one ). One question asked often is ‘ Why doesn’t God show himself ‘ ? Yes, why indeed ? ! So, all monotheistic religions have these little anecdotes or fables to try and solve the puzzle. I would say, : ‘ How do you KNOW that the evil prophet in the tale actually speaks to God as opposed to the false prophets that don’t ? “ The entire proposition is founded on your accepting that the conversation that Billum (? ) has with God is genuine . How do you know ?

Pronouncing a curse onto an individual, person or peoples outside of God's will, (Ananias and Sapphira's fate was not from a curse but a decision made by God and expressed through a word of knowledge.) Is pure evil and completely malevolent. But when directed on to systems of malevolence and entrenched powers of evil in order to bring down that particular enemie's plans, it can only be good, as it protects the whole community. I regularly curse the plans of my enemies without cursing them.

Great lesson. I've heard since I was young that animals can see "spirits". I'm intrigued that the donkey in this Scripture proved that is true but I wonder how it is possible that beasts are given such a gift while humans are not. More of God's wisdom is needed.

In Jewish commentary it explains (the Rabbi summarizes it here in different words) that animals don't have the level of intelligence necessarily to go insane from fear when they see something out of this world...

Animals not beasts.

Is not a gift for animals per se, but that there is a veil over humans' eyes

I thought Jews were the group of tribes who sided with the tribe of Judah when the kingdom broke but as a whole, the whole family who descended from Israel (Jacob) the 12 tribes are Israelites.

14:19 didn't his donkey kill his pride with its words? heap loving kindness on Balaam's head. Imagine; seeing Him in paradise? what a shmuck.

Fishes, paya and birds.

And of course God can appear to wicked people, he would be compelled to help his creations who are in need of his mercy and understanding fatherly ways to hopefully guide them back onto the right path.
