canon - Why is the Book of Enoch not regarded as canonical? - Christianity Stack Exchange

Thank you for this link TinTin.

This is going to take a little while, but I'll begin a new thread to address it.
Enoch's description of the heavens from a 'not on this world view' bring up interesting questions that lead me to a blog I read recently.
If Enoch's description of the Sun Stars Moon and winds isn't 'scientific' ... ...?

I appreciate you, TinTin. Your tone's changed it seems, or I'm reading you differently, and that helps me a lot to absorb what you're saying

You're most welcome, mate. I'd say it's probably a bit of both. I'm glad. Good on you. God bless. :)

Thanks for the info tint. I'm no expert on Enoch, I have only read parts of it when studying other things. 1[SUP]st[/SUP] thing I would ask is who wrote the book? does the book say anything about its author? That would explain the stuff about Noah.

Its quoted at least twice in the bible. And we have the passage: Deuteronomy 19:15 - in In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established..
I looked at the link you posted, it seemed to have a pre set biased against the book as many of its argument listed start out “seems to imply” or “seems to contradict”.
These are the issues I have learned about Enoch: the Enoch we have today and the Enoch in the time of Jesus don't seem to be the same. Most agree the first book of Enoch is the legit book early Christians and Jews read from and accepted but the additional books are not.

i have more to add but just got home

No worries, brother. Some believe that Enoch of the pre-Flood period wrote the Book of Enoch, but that's not possible, since, like I said, its oldest components are from 300BC. The author is very unknown. About as unknown as one could possibly be. I'll put it this way: the book is culturally important and rather interesting (what I've read of it). And the book certainly has more value than the gnostic gospels (which should be burned and then binned and then burned again) but it's not inspired. The Book of Enoch doesn't say who it's by, but it's written from the perspective of the pre-Flood Enoch. As for there mostly being a pre-set bias against the book at the link I provided, that's true. But there's always going to be some form of bias, no-one is truly neutral in anything. If you want to find out more about the different beliefs about the Book of Enoch, I suggest doing a Google search. Maybe I'll be able to find something more for you. Cheers, Jay. :)

My thought is WHY would an advanced civilisation from another planet bother to build things like Pyramids in the first place?
Having been inside the smallest of the three outside Cairo, I could see no other purpose than for them to be burial chambers. Some experts on this sort of thing say they are in line with constellations but the Egyptians believed Egypt was an
Earthly version of the heavens so its not suprising. I have also seen the original Stargate film,but so far no real artefact has been found to transport us to a distant planet.

Don't buy into this crazy pseudoscience. We don't have all the answers, but no reason to assume such remarkable improbabilities.
