So what language was the original book of Enoch written in? The alphabet was not invented till around 1400 BC. The books of Moses the Bible were probably the first books ever written using the alphabet before that they used picture writing like the Egyptians did.
If Enoch was a holy man of God, and didn't even die but was taken up to heaven, then do you think that... as God put his holy spirit in Enoch to prophesy, that it would be a hard thing for God to make him write? It's what's written that's important. But I will look into it further o.k. If they used picture writing, then it sounds a bit hard to interpret the finer details.
Like the holy bible, it's the words of the spirit that count. Not how they got there. Men say, the bible is made up by man, so what do you say to them?
The book of Enoch continually refers to God as 'Lord of the spirits' the Bible never refers to God in that way.
Lord of Hosts
Same thing. Means the same.
If Enoch wrote this then it would have been written before the flood, here are some things which don't agree with the Bible
1. Observe ye everything that takes place in the heaven, how they do not change their orbits, ⌈and⌉ the luminaries which are in the heaven, how they all rise and set in order each in its season, and transgress not against their appointed order. 2. Behold ye the earth, and give heed to the things which take place upon it from first to last, ⌈how steadfast they are⌉, how ⌈none of the things upon earth⌉ change, ⌈but⌉ all the works of God appear ⌈to you⌉. 3. Behold the summer and the winter, ⌈⌈how the whole earth is filled with water, and clouds and dew and rain lie upon it⌉⌉.
Genesis 8:22
(22) While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
The first mention of summer and winter in the Bible is after the flood. When God created the earth it had a water canopy around it so the environment would have been alot different before the flood.
Genesis 1:6-7
(6) And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
(7) And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

There were 4 seasons before the flood, just not rain.
Here is another
1. Then said the Most High, the Holy and Great One spake, and sent Uriel to the son of Lamech, and said to him: 2. '〈Go to Noah〉 and tell him in my name "Hide thyself!" and reveal to him the end that is approaching: that the whole earth will be destroyed, and a deluge is about to come upon the whole earth, and will destroy all that is on it. 3. And now instruct him that he may escape and his seed may be preserved for all the generations of the world.'
Genesis 6:13
(13) And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
Also another point is that Genesis 6 would have happened after Enoch was taken to heaven so how did he write about it.
[/QUOTE]He would of written it before he died. It would of been passed down to Noah and preserved in the ark.
The book of Enoch has Uriel speaking to Noah the Bible has God speaking to Noah. There is no mention of a Uriel in the Bible till long after the flood.
Already answered you on this one too. You must of missed my post. God always speaks to man through angels. Never directly. Angels are Gods messengers. They carry God's words and he speaks through them. It is the same as hearing God's voice (his will) but not his actual voice, as it will probably kill us.
No man has seen God's face or heard his voice. He is too powerful for human flesh. His brightness and the power in his voice would knock us over. Only spirit can handle that light and power. So he uses angels, and as we know, later he used his Son, and the appostles to carry his word.
