Just because something from 1 Enoch is quoted in the New Testament doesn't mean that 1 Enoch is now to be considered as a book of Holy Scripture. Various books in the New Testament also quote from:

The Kretika by the Greek poet and mystic Epimenides of Knossos;
The didactic poem Phainomena by the Stoic philosopher Aratos of Soloi;
The Greek tragedy Agamemnon by Aischylos; and
The Greek comedy Thais by the Athenian comic playwright Menandros.

Yet these secular Greek writings are not considered books of the Holy Bible.

Details are in the March 9, 2017, article by Spencer McDaniel, "Greek Writers Quoted in the New Testament."

The Kretika by the Greek poet and mystic Epimenides of Knossos;

I researched the Kritika and I consider it part of the Bible.

I firmly agree with you. I don’t see it as canon. But if a pastor keeps using “Back to the future” scenes to make points, it is worth it for me to watch the movie so I can apply context to what he’s talking about.

To clarify, it’s important to note that Timothy was told that all scripture (things written down) was useful. That is, there are no volumes the apostles nor any other writer of canon forbid us to read.
