***The other one that has received significant support is 1 Enoch. What is your thoughts on that one?****

I’ve got one called The Secrets of Enoch. I don’t know if this is the same book but it is way too mystical and far-fetched to be scripture. More of a tall tale written by some pious Christian but used also by Heretics of that time.

Their are some who are reprining and distibuting a so-called St Paul letter to the Laodicians. It is considered a fake by most.

I have a chapter 29 to the book of Acts (Paul visits Spain and England) but even I can tell it is a fake by it’s internal evidence.

I’ve just found an on line copy of 1 Enoch. It may take some time to read it. I will read it later. It does not seem to be the same as the Secrets of Enoch.

Jude mentions Enoch but it is probably just in reference the same as St Paul mentioned certain Pagan writers in his letters.

1 Enoch is decidedly not a fake as they found it at Qumrun. It’s not scripture, but its not fake. It wasn’t included in the Septuagint, but it did receive some support early on.

Thanks to Milton, it’s actually fairly widely known, but I’m not sure what version of it he had access to, as it’s only been fairly recently that they have found ancient copies.
