Session 183: Numbers 21-25 “The Bronze Serpent. Just War Doctrine. Can Donkeys Talk? Sexual Immorality.”

“The Bronze Serpent. May We Still Slaughter Our Enemies? (Just War Doctrine)Can Donkeys Talk? Sexual Immorality.”

21:4-9 As with the Israelites, we don’t worship objects! They may act as reminders to be faithful.

21:33 See CCC paragraph 2309 on our Just War Doctrine.

22-24 The talking donkey may have been a literary device to show that even a “dumb ass” could see what Balaam could not.

22-24 As with many people you may know, Balaam (eventually) acknowledged the EXISTENCE of God, but never committed to following God.
Commit!

25-Sexual immorality can get your mind off your own journey to the Promised Land. How are you doing in this area?
