Contradiction with Daniel 1:20
Daniel and his companions were found to be ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters, not just healthier as implied in Daniel 1:15.
Daniel 1:20: And in all matters of wisdom [and] understanding, that the king enquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians [and] astrologers that [were] in all his realm. [wisdom...: Heb. wisdom of understanding]
Contradiction with 1 Timothy 4:4
This suggests that God created all food to be received with thanksgiving, contradicting the notion that a specific diet (like Daniel's) is superior for express health benefits.
1 Timothy 4:4: For every creature of God [is] good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
Contradiction with Mark 7:18-19
Jesus declares that nothing outside a person can defile them by going into them, which contrasts with the idea that specific foods would provide better health as suggested in Daniel 1:15.
Mark 7:18-19: Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 8:15
The emphasis on eating, drinking, and being merry as the approach suggests a dismissal of dietary restrictions' importance as seen in Daniel 1:15’s narrative.
Ecclesiastes 8:15: Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun.
Contradiction with Romans 14:17
Here, the focus is on the kingdom of God being about righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit, rather than dietary choices.
Romans 14:17: For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
