1 | Where's Daniel?! | Daniel | calmrage | 116496 | ||
Where is Daniel??? This may requires you to read Daniel 3 or perhaps 2 as well. Daniel 2 mentioned that Daniel has been promoted and has authority to take care of many things in the kingdom. However, on chapter 3, it mentions about his 3 friends were arrested because of rejecting or refusing worshipping the image or idol the king built. It didn't mention Daniel at all. How could he be missing in such a big event (image built to worship)? Why wasn't he mentioned in the Bible??? Did he worship the idol? Was there any significance with his absence? How do we treat something this is not mentioned in the Bible and yet it may be important? (well to some people like me anyway) Any thought?? |

2 | Where's Daniel?! | Daniel | kalos | 116511 | ||
Question: "How do we treat something this is not mentioned in the Bible and yet it may be important?" To paraphrase Mark Twain: "It isn't the things that are not in the Bible that bother me; it's the things that ARE in the Bible." We will be judged by what the Bible says; not by what it does not say. |

3 | Where's Daniel?! | Daniel | calmrage | 116561 | ||
I agreed half of the comment. Yes, we have to focus on what the Bible says, not what it does not say. However, the question I asked is not out of any thought. I was following the story line of Daniel and himself. All of a sudden, he was not mentioned, that's why I asked. I went to some Bible Study classes, there are many questions that were asked why this .. or why that.. what's the significance of saying this, does this verse have something to do with that... What does this man have to do with that... and so on... And as of this question about Daniel... He's the main character in the book. It is very natural that the question is brought up. Whether it can be anwswer or not is another thing. Otherwise, there are lots of questions that can not be answered because the Bible does not tell everything word for word. We have to go study for it. Thanks for your answer anyway... |
