Heb 11:5 is not making references to the OT; it is rewording the OT, and creating something the OT never said. What does it matter if it is making reference to a specific scripture in the OT or not? Regardless, it is a standalone statement. It is scripture, and it is plain and easy to understand. So, I believe it.

What does it matter if it is making reference to a specific scripture in the OT or not? Because the other scriptures say something else about Enoch, i.e. he "was no more." It is the non-scriputre (Talmud) that says he never died.

Good for you. Jude also quotes the Book of Enoch as scripture. Does that mean you consider the Book of Enoch scripture too?
