The Book of Enoch

I once asked the Lord:

"Should the Book of Enoch have been included in the canon of Scripture?"


Immediately the thought came to me:

"The important parts have been recorded in the Scripture."


How true - the Lord saw to it that the important parts of the Book of Enoch have been quoted in our existing New Testament (in the Epistle of Jude).

Some parts of also seem similar to the Epistles of Peter.

If something said in Enoch has also been said in the Bible, then you might be able to accept it, because "in the mouth of two or three witnesses let every word be established".

The rest we probably don't need to be concerned about.
