it really doesnt make sense if the bible is the whole complete word of God

Okay, back in the day when the first set of pagans under Constantine converted to Christianity, a group of clergies and etc...got together and collected all the books every written by those who lived in that era of Jesus. They sat in a council and decided which books they wanted to include in the bible and which ones they would throw out. The people who wrote the current books of the bible read many of the ones who were not included, thus leaving us with a half written story of the bible.

If you will read the Book of Jude you will see that it does not say anything about a "Book of Enoch" Jude 1:14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, The Words on the page does not say that Enoch wrote it down in a book but the verse says he prophesied of these, "saying" not written in a book.

In the Bible there are several references made to books that are not part of the Bible itself, out of which: The book of Enoch which is mentioned in Jude; the book of Jared, which is motioned in the books of Moses; the books of Kings of Judah, which mentioned in 1 Kings and 2Kings. It is understood that these books are written by Jewish historians and not inspired by the Holy Spirit. Therefore, none of these books were added to the Bible, but they exist in the Libraries and are accessible to any body who wishes to read them. I myself have a copy of the book of Enoch among other books that were excluded totally from the Bible.
The Roman Catholic Church, however, have several books added to their Bible which are considered not inspired by the Holy Spirit, such as the book of the Maccabees(may be misspelled), the Prophet Barrack and others.

They didn't ask Jude's opinion when they decided which books made the cut, clearly.

You are right. It isn't a book of logic. It's not called blind faith for nothing.
