LOL. So now you are equating the words of Satan to the words of Enoch.

sigh...

Let’s go back to the topic of this thread shall we?

Did you know that of all the documents found in the dead sea scrolls, the third largest collection is the Book of Enoch, 25 separate manuscripts, the only other 2 with larger numbers were Psalms and Deuteronomy.

Here’s a breakdown of the top 16:

Books and # found
Psalms 39
Deuteronomy 33
1 Enoch 25
Genesis 24
Isaiah 22
Jubilees 21
Exodus 18
Leviticus 17
Numbers 11
Minor Prophets 10
Daniel 8
Jeremiah 6
Ezekiel 6
Job 6
1 & 2 Samuel 4

Now considering how the ancient scholars respected the words of Enoch, and considering how Jude, the brother of Jesus thought his prophecies of the last days were worthy of inclusion, then perhaps you can see that you just might be on the wrong side of this matter?

Or, perhaps, like some of the 4th century compilers of the Bible, you may also be of the mind that the Book for Jude should not be included in the bible, because he quoted Enoch.

But the FACTS are that the 'ancients' did NOT include it in the Bible, as much as you'd like it to be there.

Trust his words all you want; but as for me, I'll trust in what Jesus has said.
