He was also killed with those that worshiped the Baal of Peor.
That is his error and its wages were death.
i REALLY DO suggest that you read the entire story of the events with balaam and Balak , in the bible you have no clue who is who and what .never mind why .
T,I have read it and already pointed out Balaam treats Jehovah as God. He just had at least two Gods.
Numbers 22:8
King James Version (KJV)8 And he said unto them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as the Lord(Jehovah)? shall speak unto me: and the princes of Moab abode with Balaam.
Kwhat is Balaam do for a living
T,He seemed to have been a priest and a prophet, who chose to serve at least both Jehovah and the Baal of Peor.
KNU 22:5 So he sent messengers to Balaam the son of Beor, at Pethor, which is near the River, in the land of the sons of his people, to call him, saying, “Behold, a people came out of Egypt; behold, they cover the surface of the land, and they are living opposite me.
NU 22:7 So the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the fees for divination in their hand; and they came to Balaam and repeated Balak’s words to him.so balaam his one of his people I mean from balak and he was a type of medium , and it is God that uses him but not him worshiping the God of his enemy or enemy of his king balak
T,Balaam consulted Jehovah on what to say though he was enticed to do evil. Even then he did right and blessed Israel.
Balsam is a medium and so consult for a prize,any god
T,He stated it was Jehovah's word he was bringing.

Quote (Ed J @ July 21 2013,19:56) Quote (mikeboll64 @ July 21 2013,04:43) Is Jehovah the MOST HIGH “creator and ruler of the universe” – as if there are other creators and rulers of the universe?
huh?
Ed,In the post following the one I'm addressing, you said: Hi Mike,
“GOD” most certainly DOES MEAN “Creator and ruler of the universe”.
So if “GOD” really means “Creator and ruler of the universe”, then the phrase “Most High GOD” means “Most High Creator and ruler of the universe”, right?
Are you with me so far?
So the dilemma is that Jehovah couldn't be the MOST HIGH creator and ruler of the universe unless there also existed LESS HIGH creators and rulers of the universe.
Now do you understand?
Quote (Ed J @ July 21 2013,19:57) Quote (mikeboll64 @ July 21 2013,04:43) There is no use of “elohim” or “theos” in any scripture that automatically implies “creator of the universe”.
Hi Mike,Trying to back-translate is where the problem comes in.
That is not only not an answer, but it doesn't even make sense. Give me an example of how I'm “back-translating”.As for the actual statement I made, why not just show me any scripture where the word “elohim” AUTOMATICALLY IMPLIES “creator of the universe”.
Quote (Ed J @ July 21 2013,20:03) Quote (mikeboll64 @ July 21 2013,04:43) Why would a being who has “special powers over the lives and affairs of people and the course of nature” be considered a “false god”?
The Bible call them 'idols':
“For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.” (Psalms 96:5)
The word “idol” is not in Psalm 96:5. The Hebrew word used – “elilim” – means “worthless”, not “idol”. (Job 13:4, Zechariah 11:17)Besides, we are talking about BEINGS who are called gods, Ed…… as can easily be seen from the words of my question. We are NOT talking about man-made idols. For example, Satan is NOT a man-made idol, is he?
So let's just forget about Molech/Milcom for a minute, and deal only with Satan.
Webster says a god is Any of various beings conceived of as supernatural, immortal, and having special powers over the lives and affairs of people and the course of nature.
Does that definition apply to Satan?
1. Jehovah calls him “the god of Ekron”.
2. Paul calls him “the god of this age”.
3. In Job 1, Satan calls down fire from heaven, controls mighty winds, and controls both Sabeans and Chaldeans.
Ed, when Jehovah and Paul call him “god”, do you think they mean “creator and ruler of the universe”? Because if that is what “god” means, then that is what they called Satan, right?
Also, tell me what part of controlling people and nature makes him a “FALSE god”? And more importantly, show me in SCRIPTURE where he is ever called a “FALSE god”.
If you cannot, then you are just making things up…….. which unfortunately is par for the course with you.
Quote (Ed J @ July 21 2013,22:36) GOD said instead to “OFFER” his son as a burnt offering (see Gen.22:2-18),
Genesis 22:13 NIV
Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram caught by its horns. He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son.AKJV
13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.Exodus 32:6 NIV
6 So the next day the people rose early and sacrificed burnt offerings and presented fellowship offerings.AKJV
6 And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings;Ed, the word (in the Hifel stem of the Hebrew language) means “to take up”, “set up”, “offer a sacrifice”.
I'd say that “to offer up a sacrifice” means basically the same as “sacrifice”. I mean, look at Exodus 32:6 above. Does it really make a difference that the KJV says “offered burnt offerings” while the NIV says “sacrificed burnt offerings”?
The fact that Abraham was sent to OFFER UP his son as a sacrifice means that Abraham was sent to sacrifice his son.
I don't really see any “perversion” in the NIV translation.

Hi Mike,You are trying to apply the English definition of “God” to the Hebrew word “EL-o-heem”.
The words come from different languages and therefore have different meanings.
The Hebrew says “EL-o-heem of “EL-o-heem” – not the English God of gods.God bless
