This is the best explanation I've seen thus far. A must view IMO, for questions in this area. Also get the book of Enoch for a deeper explanation. Jude spoke of the Book of Enoch in Jude and it is widely known that the early church fathers used the Septuagint and other books that aren't included in today's Bible.

Watch this first.

The Book of Enoch is not accepted as canonical by Jews or Christians. It’s interesting, but it’s actually not part of the Bible, nor is it considered inspired by God.

If we do consider it definitive and accurate in terms of what it portrays, do we consider the early Church fathers as misguided in creating the Bible? Wouldn’t that imply the Bible itself is in error? Or is it that the stories within Enoch are interesting but really not important at all to the central teachings of Christianity and Judaism? That what Enoch tells is fascinating but adds nothing to what is taught by all the other books?
