By Kristi Stone Hamrick, The Stream - The King ordered that any who would not bow the knee when they heard his theme song would be thrown in the fiery furnace. Three men took him at his word, refusing the arbitrary and offensive order, as they explained that their faith... would not allow it... Faced with loss of position and even loss of life, the three men respectfully said “No” to the mandate, as recorded in Daniel 3, “(W)e do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter.”
