2000 pigs - lotta money to those that owned them

My son became Greek Orthodox - his wedding was the coolest wedding I have ever seen. I got an ORTHODOX STUDY BIBLE - there is a difference in the NUMBERING of the Psalms - there is a difference in the ORDER of the prophetical books; and there is a tad more than even the Catholic Bible has. The...

@Ziggy - aren't you glad Daniel only had to spend one night down in the lion's den? No starving for a week. No having to pull Habakkuk out of Abraham's Bosom 100 years after his death to bring stew to Daniel. That was a bogus story.

There are also Greek-only parts of Esther. The real book of Esther never mentions God. The Greek-only parts do mention God - well, good - but Esther has no GLARING CONTRADICTION like the "long, 14-chapter Daniel" has with the REAL 12-chapter Daniel.

Daniel ch 6 tells the real story of Daniel in the Lion's Den. It is in everyone's Bible - not like "chapter 14" in the "long version" of Daniel that includes the bogus, Greek-only parts. Daniel only has 12 chapters, some written in Hebrew, some in Aramaic. Susannah is a deuterocanonical...

Dan 6:16 Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. Now the king spake and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee. Dan 6:17 And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it...

Who would that be, Amazed? There is some confusion going on...

Amazed - I am Hemlock, a Protestant - I am not Illuminator, BOL or any Catholic. Peace.

I have no "burden of proof". Anyone can look at the DeuteroCanonical account in Daniel of the lions den and easily see how it contradicts the real account (in everyone's Bible) wherein Daniel spends one night in the lions den.

"the NT is also written by Jews" Excuse me - a good chunk of it was written by Luke - a Gentile - who wrote his gospel and Acts

No wild goose chase. The Deuterocanonical addition to Daniel has an erroneous account of Daniel spending a week in the lions den and being brought food by Habakkuk. This addition is in both Catholic and Orthodox Bibles, which Bibles also include the REAL account of Daniel spending ONE night in...

There are various explanations concerning this paradox - some pretty weak. The lions den incident occurred twice. The Habakkuk that brings food to Daniel is a different Habakkuk from the one who authored the book by his name and died a century before the lions den incident. What think ye?

thelord's_pearl YOU ARE WELCOME HERE!

Anyway - there is a puzzle to be solved about the two differing accounts of Daniel's length of time in the lions den - Catholic and Orthodox versions of the Bible have both accounts - Prots only have the one ONE NIGHT STAND of Daniel in the lions den Let's move on to CHICK TRACTS. In the Air...

In BEL AND THE DRAGON - a "Greek-only" part of Daniel - chapter 14 of it verse31 - Daniel is in the lions den for six days. An angel carries Habakkuk from Judea to the lions den by the hair of his head

humanist/atheist site ? I have no idea what you mean.

"alleged contradiction"? I don't know what you mean, Illuminator I asked how long Daniel was in the lions den because in the Hebrew/Aramaic part of Daniel which is in EVERYONE's Bible - Daniel is just in the den overnight In my Orthodox Study Bible - in a Greek-only part of Daniel - Daniel is...

How long was Daniel in the Lion's Den?

I just took 3 Catholics off of Ignore we will see what happens
