book of enoch?

Question

what can you tell me about the book of enoch, it was a book left out of the Bible?

Answer 1

I am not sure what is in it. But there were a number of books left out of the Bible. That is the trouble with the bible. Though it contains the word of God it also contains the mistakes of Man. That is why God has given additional sorces for his Gospel. The Book of Mormon. Is a second witness of Christ. It is not a replacement for the Bible but a second source to confirm what is God's word and what is Mans.

Answer 2

Yes, the Book of Enoch was left out of the Bible. Enoch, it is said, originally wrote the books on tables of stone, which would have allowed them to survive the flood. They were then retrieved by descendants of Noah for their worship temple and were then carried away centuries later. Addendums to the Book are not written by Enoch, but by the Egyptians... hence the confusion as to who actually wrote the Book, which was determined by writing styles. Perry Stone has done extensive study of the missing book and finds that it supports writings already included in the Bible. It is generally thought that the Book was left out only because it was repetitive. There are some minor interpretive issues with the book, but Dr. Stone finds them interpretive and not factual differences. He often cites the Book of Enoch when constructing and determining Biblical understanding. He is a Christian of some education and authority. The University of Purdue, Christian Studies, have done some marvelous papers on the Book also and will provide a more unbiased account of the contents of the Book and gathers its information from a wide variety of sources. It's very interesting. Christian historians assert that the Book was omitted from the Bible because it was no Divinely inspired as the other books were. Either opinion or conclusion is valid. For me, the agreement that the Book of Enoch does not contradict accounts in the Bible is enough to know. God Bless.

Answer 3

Yes it was left out, mainly because it was considered pseudepigraphal (which means they are not sure who the author really was) and because they simply could find no copies of it until sometime after the 17th century.

I understand the Ethiopians have a full copy of it, but that's about the only one. Enoch was the great-grandfather(may have to add a few "greats" in there) of Noah. There are actually several books within the "book of Enoch"

It's canonicity (I think that's spelled right) was in question as well as the actual time-table for it's origin, so they left it out of our Bibles. However, folks in Ethiopia still include it in theirs.

Answer 4

It was left out of the Bible by the Catholic Church, who isn't always right. I actually wrote a book about it; if you want me to send it to you I can. The book of Enoch is really amazing. It fills you in on what happened in the world to cause God to send the Flood. Plus, Enoch walked with God, instead of dying. That alone makes it an interesting read.

Answer 5

The book of Enoch is apocalyptic literature written by various authors and circulated under the name of Enoch. 1 Enoch was written by the Chasidim or by the Pharisees between 163-63 B.C. It is the best source for the development of Jewish doctrine in the last two pre-Christian centuries. 11 Enoch was written A.D. 1-50.

Answer 6

Many folks feel it is inspired.

Theoretically (theory because this was 2000 years ago) Jewish people pulled it from their canon due to prophecies too similar to Jesus for their comfort.

Early church fathers referred to it often. But a whole text was not to be found. Only bits and pieces. So it was not added to the Catholic canon.

If I recall correctly, Protestants wouldn't like it because it came about around the same time as Maccabees which they reject. They reject it because it isn't part of the Jewish canon. Well, the Jews reject all the New Testament as well. So based on this idea, Protestant bibles shouldn't have a New Testament.

Go figure...

Only just recently was the full text recovered in a very ancient scroll.

Answer 8

It was apparently referred to by the apostles. They quoted from it in Jude and elsewhere in the Bible. I just finished reading it and learned a lot about the fallen angels and the nephilim as well as how Cain died and other kind of interesting stuff. I probably would have never read it if I hadn't been doing research on the pre-flood earth since the book is not considered canonical.

Answer 9

maximum Biblical pupils evaluate the artwork to be pseudo-pygripha... meaning it develop into written by potential of neither. The earliest existent copies of the artwork seem to this point it to around 200bc...this could do away with the two of the Enochs listed contained in the scriptures.

check out a book called "the lost books of the bible."
