Re: has Dan 8 been misinterpreted and the little horn

I don't think that is correct. Circular logic is when you deduce
something (call it X) but you've used X as an axiom in your reasoning in
the first place. If I've understood you correctly, you are claiming that
liberal scholars are assuming [based presumably on other sources of
information] that people can't prophecy future events. Based on that
assumption they deduce that relevent parts of Daniel were written later
than you would claim. Whatever you think of their assumptions, that is
certainly not circular logic - because the thing deduced is not the same
as the axiom.


I think the problem is that when something has a clear correspondence
to some historical situation, the logic is it must have been written at
that time. The supernatural is often dismissed as an option.
But in Daniel 9 that is impossible as we know Daniel was written long
before Christ was born, so the prediction to AD 31 cannot be anything
else than prophecy.
