(This question is a follow-up to “Sssomethings We Don’t Know”)

I have another question almost similar to the serpent of Eden.  In the Old Testament in Numbers 22:28… about the talking donkey: did God possess the donkey, or did God just give the donkey the ability to speak?

Sincerely,
Bray-ve Questioner

Dear Bray-ve Questioner,

Num. 22:28 simply says that God opened the donkey’s mouth – it doesn’t provide further details.  All the donkey talked about was that he didn’t like being whipped and the fact that he had been faithful to Balaam (Num 22:30).  All the things that the donkey said could have come directly from God, or they could have come directly from the donkey.  The Scriptures simply don’t say.  This is another great example of the secret things belonging to God (Deu 29:29).
