John 12:14 for one, but it all depends on the version. King James doesnt say donkey, but NIV does.

Becky....
Hi... Perhaps you were hearing about this....?
(2Peter 2:15-16) Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
(2Pe 2:16) But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb *** speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet.
Which references the Old Testament verses... from Numbers 22! Read that Chapter and see for Yourself!
Also... you may find some Very Good Teaching about the Bible and ....... A Series...... "How to get the Most from God's Word! " at this site.... http://www.gty.org/
Thanks for Asking ! RR

In the beginning was the WORD and the WORD was with God an the WORD was God.
The Bible is the Word of God and The WORD OF GOD Jesus is found throughout the whole Bible.
The Bible does not use gutter language like the people at school were infering but the word you refer to is found in the Bible in several places and it is simply referring to a donkey.
And yes the word bastard is found in the Bible also. In Hebrews Chapter 12 for one place, but here again God is not using curse words he is using descriptive language to get a point across.

Yes its true. But modern day slang allows it to be used in an awkward way. But it meant a donkey in those days and it still means a donkey nowadays.

While it is in English translations, the word is not actually in the Bible. The actual word is a Hebrew and Greek equivalent to donkey.
A ss really only refers to the butt in the US. In Commonwealth countries it is a rse.

Yes, it's in there. The word occurs fairly frequently in the Old Testament.
Just ran a search on it. Plenty of hits. In Genesis 22:3, Abraham saddles his *ss, and in 22:5, he tells young men to abide with the *ss. And there are many, many more examples of the word.

Yes, it's true.
The first time is Genesis 12:16
"And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels."
also
Genesis 36:24 "And these are the children of Zibeon; both Ajah, and Anah: this was that Anah that found the mules in the wilderness, as he fed the asses of Zibeon his father."
Genesis 44:3 "As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses."
Genesis 49:14 "Issachar is a strong *** couching down between two burdens:"
Exodus 22:10 "If a man deliver unto his neighbour an ***..."
Exodus 23:5 "If thou see the *** of him that hateth thee lying under his burden, and wouldest forbear to help him, thou shalt surely help with him."
It goes on and on.

You can read all about it with Balaam and his donkey in Numbers 22: 22-33.

Do you mean ***, as in the beast of burden?
As in Jesus road in to Jerusalem on the colt of an ***?
My friends Lap top has some serious blocks on it to protect his children from less than nice words.
I can't type the word "a_ss without doing something to disguise it.
