What was te prophet Daniel's weakness and mistakes?

Answer 1

I guess everyone is different but for me, I prefer Daniel to David. Firstly, I love Daniel because he is someone I would love to be as in my journey as a christian, i am always too hot or too cold with so much doubts about God and i struggle with sin constantly. Thus sometimes, when i find myself struggling with evil or doubts and I think of Daniel, he gives me hope that it is possible to be good or hot for a long time although i have no idea how to do it.

Besides, in The Bible, we come to realize that God can turn your weakness to strength (Hebrews 11:34) so I am sure Daniel had weaknesses that was just not stated in the bible. Also, from my understanding of people in the bible, i have come to see that if you really have fear of God and treat God as a close friend, even if you might be struggling with sin in your minds, the probability of committing that sin becomes really small.

Although I have no idea what Daniel weaknesses are, I am pretty sure there were times that he despaired or struggled in his beliefs cause as he grew older, the intensity of his trials and visions became more . I believe that God will not give you a battle until he knows you can handle it, so i think Daniel also grew in his relationship with God. Besides, since he was serving kings which can be seen as politics, i am sure there were times it did not feel encouraging to serve God. This is what i think but i might be wrong.

Thank you

Good question. I was at a Bible Study on Daniel last night and it occurred to me that here is a prophet with no obvious weaknesses - so much so that he's difficult to identify with. Noah got drunk, David committed adultery and murder, Elijah suffered from depression, Moses had anger issues, Abraham was willing to tolerate a king taking his wife...but Daniel?? Spotless. How can I, as a man who is only too aware of his weaknesses, identify with a man who apparently had no weaknesses to overcome?

The prophet Daniel's weakness and mistakes are not clearly outlined in the Bible. He is depicted as a figure of great faith, wisdom, and integrity. However, like all humans, he may have had moments of doubt or struggle, but these are not specifically detailed in the biblical accounts.
