Just a question that came to me...
Daniel / Joseph both served in pagan governments and did not sin. From what i understand about the text they did not have much choice in the matter, their masters simply given them their positions.
Now would the fact that they did not sin change at all if they had volunteered for their positions? If Nebuchadnezzar/Pharoah had put up advertisements saying 'HELP WANTED IN RUNNING PAGAN EMPIRE' and Daniel/Joseph had volunteered. Would the issue of them sinning change at all?
