Hi Armen, (and friends and visitors!)
I would just like to say that I really enjoy following your blog, not any aspect in particular, but rather the whole spectrum that it covers.
Keep it up!

A friend was talking to me about an ancient Christian book that wasn’t included in the canon of scripture - the Book of Enoch. I immediately dismissed it (the gnostic gospels came to mind) if it wasn’t a part of the Bible then it wasn’t inspired and I had little interest in it. However, the Book of Enoch is quoted in Jude verses 14 and 15 and attributes the actual author of the book of Enoch as being Enoch himself! Just curious as to what your thoughts are on this? If the book was genuinely written by Enoch then it predates the flood, could we learn something from reading this ancient text?

Ricky - Good question. I assume it’s because it was rejected by the Jew’s as canonical, but I’ll check it out now and let you know what I find.

Sure thing, you might even want to read it yourself! You can probably find it in most bookshops or online.

Ricky - Here are a couple of things I dug up. It seems like it’s been a heated debate for centuries.

Thanks for the info, Armen! I firmly believe that the books we have within the Bible are the only inspired books, however I do recognise that the book of Enoch (if it truely dates back to Enoch) may have its uses for scholars.

All the aprocryphal books have there use for historical purposes and other reasons. That’s why the early editions of the AV included the Apocrypha. They didn’t place then in the OT as the Roman Catholic Church does, but they had them in their own section. They eventually removed them though, probably because of the fear that people would assume they were considered part of the canon.

Hey…I’m just thinking. In a handful of hours, there’s going to be thousands of people strutting up and down the streets of Northern Ireland.
Sadly, they’re going to be doing it “For God…”, and yet when tracts are handed out, most of them will end up on the ground.
(Hey Kyle…you’re going to miss it this year. Are you upset?)
