Where did Jude quote the book of Enoch?
The book of Enoch isn't included because authorship could not be proven, and it wasn't thought to be divinely inspired.

Because it is not in unity with the rest of scripture. The fact that Jude has a quote from the book does not make the book canonical. Many books have part truth, part fiction. The book of "Jude" agrees with the rest of scripture. The book of "Enoch" does not. The part about fallen angels mating with the daughters of man is straight out of science fiction or better yet, mythology. It also states that Enoch went through Sheol, which contradicts the straight teaching from the Bible that the dead do not know anything. They sleep in the ground awaiting the resurrection

There were many possible books for the bible after various meetings the present cannon was decided as being the most likely books to be genuine, some books made it some didn't.
many Christan's believe there has always been a bible , there have been a number of books that make up the bible and they varied from Church to church and period to period.
The Greek language text was known to, and quoted by nearly all, Church Fathers. A number of the Church Fathers thought it to be an inspired work, particularly Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, Origen, Clement of Alexandria and Tertullian, based on its quotation in Jude. However, some later Fathers denied the canonicity of the book and some even considered the letter of Jude uncanonical because it refers to an "apocryphal" work (Cf. Gerome, Catal. Script. Eccles. 4.).
The Jewish Sanhedrin at Yavneh c. 90 AD removed this book from its Scriptures. Partly due to this, the book was discredited after the (Christian) Council of Laodicea in 364. The Greek text was subsequently lost.
The early Christian father Tertullian wrote c. 200 AD that the Book of Enoch had been rejected by the Jews, because it contained prophecies pertaining to Christ.[3]
Some excerpts are given by the 8th century monk George Syncellus in his chronography, which are published in Dillmann's translation, pp. 82-86. In the 9th century it is listed as an apocryphon of the New Testament by Patriarch Nicephorus Cf. Niceph. (ed. Dindorf), I. 787.
During the Council of Laodicea in 364 there was some confusion about the number of canons decreed by the Council. The 59th canon restricted the readings in church to only the Canonical Books of the Old and New Testaments. The 60th listed the Biblical canon, only omitting the Apocalypse of John. This 60th canon is missing from some manuscripts containing decrees of the council, giving rise to the impression that the 60th canon was added later. Such a list would be required in order to obey the 59th canon, so adding such a list, if absent, would be helpful. Cyril of Jerusalem circa 350 produced a list matching that from the Council of Laodicea.

In the Bible Jesus uses the term Son Of Man this is beacause of the book of Daniel refering to the Messiah as the Son of Man who would later come and save his people(Read Daniel).. Jesus therefore is refering to himself... For example he said you shall know when you have lifted up the Son of Man...(he being lifted up on the cross).
The book of Enoch is thought to be created by man not GOD and therefore is not included in the Bible.... But your right in the book Jude he quotes Enoch's prophecy......
@farkas she is refering to Enoch's Prophecy... Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints" (Jude 14)

I have read it often and I do not understand what Christians were afraid of. I am only more convinced that Jesus is coming back and that He is coming as King.
