Why doesn't god make donkeys talk to people any more? He did in the biblical days?

Numbers 22:27 And when the *** saw the angel of the LORD, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the *** with a staff.
22:28 And the LORD opened the mouth of the ***, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?
22:29 And Balaam said unto the ***, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee.
22:30 And the *** said unto Balaam, Am not I thine ***, 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.

Man, stupid censorship. It *** the word A S S. As in DONKEY. Ridiculous.

Answer 1

God is making a point that the donkey was more spiritual than Balaam.

Animals can be more spiritually perceptive than someone who is blinded because of disobedience. The animal was more obedient to God.

I'm sure that this happens more often than we think. Sometimes being so spiritually blind, they don't hear the animal & end up killing it. Animals have their own language.


AK has a good answer. But I don't have faith in the Koran. It has truths in it mixed with deception. The deception sneeks in & causes people to doubt Jesus Christ, Son of God, who died on the cross for out sins.

Answer 2

Miracles happen every day. Most of them are glossed over since there are always other believable explainations. The most common of these is "It was just a coincidence."

People are cured of cancer, and we say "It must have been misdiagnosed." People are raised from the dead, and we say "He must not really have been dead." We narrowly miss being hit by an eighteen-wheeler, and we say "Boy, am I lucky!."

The bible covers literally thousands of years of human history. Over that time, only one donkey ever spoke, and it only happened once. There were only two water parting miracles in the bible, but that doesn't mean they didn't happen.

Just like you and me, sometimes God does things that are outside his usual pattern of behavior. I have my doubts that any donky will ever speak again, but that doesn't mean there arn't any miracles. You can't fit God in a box and tell him what he can and cannot do.

Answer 3

Jesus said to his deciples that "more blessed are those that believe without seeing".

I think that is the case here. If a donkey came up to you today and said, "Hey, God is real." Would you believe?

Most would... it would be so incredable that you could help but believe. But then you would not be so blessed, for your faith in God would come only because there was proof.

Answer 4

God directed Shrek and Shrek 2.

Answer 5

People were more flexible too. Abraham tied his a.s.s to a tree and walked into town.
Moses however rode a motorbike. It says his Triumph was heard across the land.

Answer 6

Back then, hallucinogens were legal

So was weed! Yeah, man!

Pretend can be fun!

This is the kind of bible quote that should open peoples eyes to the stupidity of their belief, and yet it doesn't.

Answer 7

I don't know what is written in Bible about Soloman (PBUH) but according to Qur'an God has given him the abililty to understand the languages of all animials.

Answer 8

The bible has a lot of errors and contradictions. The bible has been repeated through history with alot of words that changed or corrupted.

Answer 9

They will talk to you if you drink a pint of Early times and smoke some weed...lots of things in Gods world will talk to you then.

Answer 10

He realized that your average talking donkey was more coherent than your average believer. It made them look bad, and vicariously made God look bad, so he put a stop to it.
