At last you are starting to see your folly, good job. Nobody was talking about Balaam's donkey except you. The topic is about Balaam's possible existence. Balaam is an historical figure, just like the secular figures mentioned. It's like wanting to mention footballers. Of course, a normal person will mention the popular ones that he feels anyone talking about football should know. But you say you don't know Pele, you don't know Messi and Ronaldo, you don't know Maradona. And you are making noise about football. That's a picture of what you are doing, maybe you can relate with that. You must have sense in Jesus name.

grin
Bro, you're not bright at all. You and your flawed logic.
But what if I know Messi, Ronaldo and Pele, but I don't know anything about kante or De gea, does that mean I shouldn't contribute in matters involving football? Can you see that you have no point? Or is football revolved around knowing the popular players? Omo guy your level of reasoning is too low.
And when Someone says Messi existed, is it wrong if another person points out what Messi is known for?
Or can you tell me what Balaam is known for in your bible? Talking donkey right?

The fact that you say one can not drop opinions
On history simply because he doesn't know a popular figure is dumb. Does the whole of history revolve around Ceasar? Mr man think! undecided

You must know about Messi, Ronaldo and Pele before you can be eligible to talk about football.
As if Ronaldo, Messi and Pele started Football itself.

If you want to talk about historical footballers or football history, you know those popular names. If you want to talk about world history, secular history, you know those popular names. Those who know those popular names don't have any other basic evidence for their history than discoveries similar to what the OP talks about. What class are you exactly?

No, i am hoping you can finally think. Since you are talking about history and dismissing it. It is only logical to find out the one you know and why. You don't go into the midst of doctors or engineers or lawyers and dismiss what they are saying. They will need to know your credibility and base. Since you dismiss Balaam's existence, who do you believe existed. Very simple and straight forward. You cannot answer because you know it's a checkmate. Hope you know the meaning of checkmate BTW. As soon as you think you have a move, you'd answer. You don't want to learn/know. You just want so much to be right.

What do you know about? Balaam?
The thread is about the possible existence of Balaam. You tried to dismiss it by fallaciously bringing up talking donkeys. i referred you to secular history where i felt you should have some footing or understanding, you confessed failure. i took you to football which i hoped you will have an idea as a Nigerian male. Then you are changing the narrative and missing the point as is habitual of you. You are the one that doesn't know why i mentioned Aristotle and the Caesars. Because they are historical figures like Balaam.
Same way if you want to talk football history or rather historical figures in football, there are some names that would definitely come up if you know your onions.You have failed to mention any historical personality. It remains a waste of time engaging you in the topic.

You're obviously mentally disturbed. You asked for what Balaam is known for and you have been told. There is no part of Balaam's story to dodge including the doctrine of Balaam, the way of Balaam or the error of Balaam. If the donkey part strikes you most, good for you. It doesn't mean everyone must share your inanities. Like i have told you several times, every thing happened just the way it's recorded. Don't hang yourself over it. God is a miracle working God.

History has huge elements of belief. That is why there is a word called "mythology". What some call mythology are usually what some other BELIEVE to be history. See for instance your brother Samuel does not believe that the Caesars existed or Aristotle. Meaning he is not convinced there was a Roman empire or maybe the Greek empire. But you cherish the books that write about them. The same way other people believe and cherish the books that write about others. There is no monopoly of books or reference to books. i hope i don't need to insult you by reminding you that Moses has books written by him. You're certainly not that old or slow. And if you think the names of Bible characters are only found in the Bible or that your cherished literature are more authentic books than the Bible, then you are not even as knowledgeable as i hoped.
You are basing your belief and history in books. And you think you're smarter than others who based their belief and history in another book. You must be very funny in real life.

Mythology is not history, rather its an ancient story used to explain abstract concepts. Example; you read in your bible of snake talking to Eve or donkey talking to Balaam or Satan talking to Job. But that's the way ancient people wrote. It does not mean there was a real snake or real Eve or real donkey or real Balaam or real Job or real Satan. Its just mythology meant to teach something. Unfortunately, Europeans misinterpreted them as literal in your bible, so that the message the ancient people were trying to pass has been lost in religious dogmatism.

In African mythology, you hear of the wise tortoise who always outsmart other people or other animals to marry a kings daughter or to win some awards. It does not mean there was ever a wise tortoise or a king or a daughter to be married. Its mythology meant to explain abstract concepts. Again, that's the way ancient people wrote.

The problem is that you Christians have refused to grow up, so you believe your bible mythology is history. The white man has actually convinced you in the bible that a tortoise married a human being!. Its like an African believing there was a smart tortoise that married a kings daughter in ancient time. That's how childish and dumb it is to believe in most bible stories.

@kingxsamz never told you that Julius Caesar or Aristotle existed or not. He simply told you the truth that he doesn't know. But it doesn't change the history because as I said in my previous post, your belief has no impact on history.

The books by both Julius Caesar and Aristotle were written by themselves, not what people wrote about them. Julius Caesar wrote his Gallic wars after returning from war. Aristotle wrote most of his books in Egypt after Alexander the so called great invaded Egypt and brought in Greek settlers. You can't say that of anybody in the bible; expect Paul. However, researchers say Paul wrote just about 5 or 6 books. The only epistles that bible scholars consider authentic are Romans, 1 and 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Philippians, 1 Thessalonians, and Philemon. The rest of so called letters by Paul are letters manufactured by the Roman empire in the name of Paul to impress upon the early Christians to obey certain rules.

Moses did not write Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy. Researchers say the books were written over thousands of years by so many authors. Example; Moses died in the book of Exodus when the bible god said he won't get to the promised land but miraculously he wrote Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy after he died. How come?

Don't believe. Research it. The age of BELIEVING is gone. We're in the age of KNOWING.

For anybody who wants to set themselves free, the man below was born into a Christian family, in fact, in a church. Both his father and mother are pastors. But when he grew up he decided to research Christianity after he saw an online post like this. Watch below how he freed his mind. Its in episodes of up to 20 videos. Watch from 1.0 to 2.6.

How I freed myself from religion.
