It is a deuterocanonical work in that it is accepted in the ROMAN canon,
BUT NOT by Jews, Protestants or Christianity. The King James Bible was canonized just as it is now.
The story you are looking for is in chapter one of the APOCRYPHA.
It tells of the Jewish hero Daniel, who refuses to worship the god Bel and kills the dragon, thus being forced into a den of lions, which he is allowed to leave after seven days because he is unharmed.
The Apocrypha is not canonized into the King James Bible.
You may understand better if you Google the history of the KJV Bible; and the separation of the Apocryphal Books.
The Council of Nicaea was the first council in the history of the Christian church that was intended to address the entire body of believers. It was convened by the emperor Constantine to resolve the controversy of Arianism, a doctrine that held that ***Christ was not divine but was a created being.***
Jesus Christ is the Divine Son of God. Anybody who has read the KJV and the Book of John chapter 3; called upon Jesus for salvation:
Are born again, and have been baptized with the indwelling Holy Spirit__who is the Spirit of Jesus Christ.
He reveals Jesus to new Christians.
The Bible [WORD OF GOD] is spiritually discerned. We must be born again to understand the hard sayings.
My research of the KJV ws that the Apocrypha was included in the KJV up until I believe the 1700's, at which time the Aprocrypha was removed. Perhaps because the publishers did not want these books to be included any longer for theological reasons o or perhaps to be able to print a Bible that had considerably less pages to print, thus saving costs.
The reason I don't read the Apocrypha is because it centers around the Chaldeans; Giants and the rest.
I'm an evangelist. I choose to keep my focus on what Jesus did and what He said to be doing (Go Ye). That impresses me. Praying in a War Room with others, helps the spiritually bound, be freed. The Gospel is a Person, and He said to me and many others, Follow Me.
Apocrypha isn't going to help unbelievers to give their hearts to Jesus. I'm not going to change my mind
I, too, do not study the Apochrypha for the same reasons you mentioned. I wasn't encouraging anyone to study it, I was just mentioning that historically, it was included in the original KJV up until the 1700's. That's all.
