Ignorance
You don't even understand the topic you want to argue about

l know that's what you say, why don't you answer it generally

Then why did they ask for vegetables instead if the plate and not the food was the issue?

@OP , you must be a Baptist member. This is our Sunday school topic today. " Physical and Spiritual fitness".

Interesting viewpoint. Permit me to add 2 'lil' cents: Did Daniel and the other three boys choose to be in Babylon? Was their being in Babylon a matter of choice (Japa) or forced ?
The answer is No. They did not choose Babylon. Their kings and the people had forsaken The God of their fathers and after a long period of long-suffering their defilement of the land he gave them, he gave them up to Babylon as rightly foretold by prophets.

Daniel and the other three were not random, Dan 1:3 described them as "... certain of the children of Israel, and of the king's seed, and of the princes; 4 Children in whom was no blemish, but well favoured, and skilful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability in them to stand in the king's palace..."[/i]; their selection was also to the Babylonian purpose: [i]"...whom they might teach the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans". This suggests to us that the four boys had potential, not only that, they were not the only Hebrew boys selected, there were other Hebrew boys; to have been selected amongst the many Hebrew boys captured and took into Babylon, they were lucky (Very rarely does a slave make it to the palace talk less of being offered king's meat) Now, this is where the Hebrew boys stood out:
Knowledge:
They knew Babylon was not God's will for them, that it was a result of disobedience. Now rather than say or assume, God's favor let them be chosen and begin to behave anyhow, they attributed the grace of the Babylonians to God and purposed in their heart to align with The Lord, regardless of the fact that they were in Babylon.
They knew that a man is what he eats: once you start eating something, your objectivity, the ability to see it as it is, without sentiment, orbias is hampered. This knowledge also informed by scriptures, that "Covenant" men shall not 'live' by bread alone. They knew that their survival, success and spiritual significance to God in Babylon was dependent on what they ate. Thus, they purposed meaning "their use, functionality" in Babylon was to remain undefiled by Babylon thereby remaining sanctified To The Lord.

Consequently, The Lord proved His faithfulness, showing to them and all of us reading about them now, that His Presence, Hands and Faithfulness is everywhere, and in all situations to and for those committed to Him. That if we daily refuse Babylon and it's King's meat (note it is earthly wise very, very expensive) despite how hard it is to do so, He will reward us, mostly in unexpected ways. The evidence of this is seen not only in their ten times being better, but also their not being consumed by the fire, the lions mouths being sealed shut, surviving Babylon even after it's conquest etc

Today, Babylon and it's king's meat - anything outside God and His Word is everywhere. 9n the internet, in the modern church, schools, in business, at work, in Government, worldwide...some are obvious, others are subtle. Without The Holy Spirit, one is taken and when one has eaten it, laid claim(s) to it, even built a life in, on and about it, to refuse to bow down to the King's graven image (they are everywhere and in many forms) has led many to being thrown into fiery fires and den of lions where sadly, and against God's will, such were, sadly consumed. (May This never be our end deliberately in Jesus Christ's Name)

Please rephrase your question, I don't understand what you wrote.

What do you think about the bribe culture during NYSC postings, especially for thousands who want to be posted to Lagos or Abuja?

And which law did Moses write that God did not give him? All the laws Moses gave to the Israelites were communicated to him by god.so don't get the context wrong,the law of Moses mentioned there is the mosaic law..

Acehart:
Daniel slight disagrees with you: He was under two laws as he recounts in Daniel 9:11 -

Indeed all Israel has transgressed Your law and turned aside, not obeying Your voice; so the curse has been poured out on us, along with the oath which is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, for we have sinned against Him.

I think you have a misunderstanding: Daniel did not act by the Law of Moses. Up there you see Daniel showing us that Israel was under two laws: The Law of God, and The Law of Moses.

Don't you know the Law of Moses doesn't touch the human conscience because of it was written by a man; it's nature is temporary, supplementary, ceremonial and time bound? It is the Law of God, Apostle Paul calls the "Spirit", he used in appealing to you conscience and mine.
