Who is Balaam and how does he know God? Who is Balak and why does he want to curse Israel? Are curses real? Is magic real? Should Christians believe in magic or be more rational? Why would God use someone who didn't believe in Him to bless Israel? Why is it wrong to syncretize other gods and beliefs into Christianity? Why did God let a donkey speak? Who is the Angel of the Lord? What do the prophecies Balaam speaks of mean? How can Balaam prophesy truly and yet be a false prophet?
