All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Matthew 7:7
"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
So you expect everything to be in one handy book compiled by others for your convenience, rather than having to seek Truth for yourself? Even though that handy Book and the main character in it (Jesus) Himself refers to scripture that's not in that handy Book?
Jesus is the Living Word. Stop treating the Bible as an Idol. Jesus is the Way, the TRUTH and the Life. If you're not seeking Truth, you're not seeking HIM. The ONLY Way to everlasting LIFE.
1:1 Implies restoration during tribulation - not congruent with scriptures.
1:8 In conflict with the doctrine that peace was made at the cross. Also, in the last days tribulation will increase for the righteous - this "verse" seems to dispute that.
2:2-3 Appears to contradict 2 Pet 3:3-7
5:4 Is an admonition to some unknown party - this is very irregular relative to the scriptures (i.e. authentic ancient writings by God-fearing Jews)
6:3 Semjaza seems to be listed as the leader of the angels, which is not scriptural
6:3,8 None of these angels are mentioned in the Bible
8:1 Azazel isn't even listed in 6:8 as one of the angels that fornicated with women
8:3 Araqiel and Shamsiel aren't listed in 6:8 either
10:2 Enoch allegedly wrote about Noah, even though the Bible teaches that Enoch was taken up to heaven years before Noah was born.
10:4-6,12 Implies angels can be bound & hid in holes under rocks. This is contrary to scripture.
10:8 Ascribes all the sin of the fallen angels to one named Azazel - not scriptural.
10:15-11:2 Seems to imply that permanent restoration took place after the flood - clearly not true. It seems the true author of this book confused scriptures pertaining to the future restoration.
13:5-6,14:4-5,7 Implies fallen angels can't talk to God - this contradicts Job. Also implies that angels were repentant, but weren't received back by God - very strange doctrine.
14 Gives a very strange description of Heaven that conflicts with many scriptures
15:8-10 Very strange doctrine about "evil spirits" proceeding from unredeemable giants
17-18,21,23 Gives a very strange description of the earth & universe which is clearly not true. Also alludes to the ancient model of astronomy that held that there were 7 stars (the closest planets) which burned like the sun (they don't.)
19:3 Discredits all other prophecy about the consumation of the ages.
20 Lists strange angels not in scripture, and incorrectly assigns the roles of Michael (the warrior) and Gabriel (the messenger)
21:7-10 Seems to contradict Biblical descriptions of the present & final judgement places for the fallen angels
22 Contradicts the Biblical descriptions of past, present & future dwelling places for the righteous who die
32:2-6 Seems to imply the Garden of Eden was still in existance after the Flood
33:1-2 Says Heaven rests on a foundation that is at the Eastern edge of the earth
33:3 He claims he counted the stars & individually mapped them, which is impossible scripturally (& scientifically)
34 Says the winds come out of a "portal" at the Northern edge of the earth
36:3 Says the stars come out of portals at the Eastern edge of the earth & move West
38:5-6 Contradicts Daniel & other prophecies about the Mellinial Reign
39:1-2 Very strange implications here about the "seed" of angels dwelling with men at the end... this contradicts the scriptures
40:7 Talks about the "Satans" - plural, different than the Bible, who gives that name to only one fallen angel. Also, implies Satan can't stand in God's presence, contrary to Job.
40:9 Once again mixes up the roles of the 2 Archangels & adds more names in. Michael's role in scripture is related to conquoring nations & fighting spiritual wars, while Gabriel's relates to bringing messages & visions to people.
41:1-2 Says the Kingdom of God is divided - it's not & can't be scripturally. Also describes sinners being repelled from a mansion, which is also not scriptural, unless you look at a parable Jesus told, which was not intended to be literal.
41:4-5 Says the sun, moon, winds, etc. are stored in chambers & released at appointed times.
41:6-7 Implies the sun & moon move opposite of each other
43:1-3,44 Very weird model of the nature of stars & lightning
47:4 Says God requires the blood of the saints... very strange
51:1 Says Sheol & Hell will give back to the earth, which isn't scriptural - also Hell is a NT term, not OT
51:2 Disputes the Biblical doctrine that we are chosen. (We don't have to wait until Christ's return to be chosen.) This isn't scriptural.
It doesn't go against the Bible, it goes against your limited understanding of the Bible.
Most Christians don't even understand the Truth of what the Bible says about Moses and Solomon. Based on your response I'm guessing you're one of them. People take evil in the Bible as good because its in the Bible and they don't understand what it's telling them. They treat the Bible as an idol and put their faith in their own limited understanding of the Bible rather than in Jesus. Jesus is the Living Word of God, but many consider the Bible the living word of God, even though it never makes that claim and neither did God. Jesus is the Living Word!
The Bible tells a story that many completely miss because they think they're being evil if they question something or someone in the Bible or more accurately their interpretation of it.
How many people pray God will give them understanding of the Bible, but if the slightest thought comes to their mind in contradiction of something they think they understand of the Bible they dismiss it as as evil?
Ask and you will receive.
Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. If you're not seeking TRUTH, you're not really seeking HIM.
The inconsistencies are very important, same as with the Bible. I never said everything in the book of Enoch is True did I? But it's important.
The same with the Old Testament, but I bet you don't even realize that.
"The mystery of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to those on the outside everything is expressed in parables, so that, ‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven.’”
Humble yourself and pray for God to reveal the Truth in the Bible to you. Just don't reject HIM, the TRUTH because it's not what you thought you had figured out. You know, just like the non believers when Jesus came in the flesh. They rejected Him because they thought they understood the scriptures and that they were infallible.
God doesn't like being locked in a box, even one that's a book.
I believe the Bible is the infallible, inerrant, plenary word of God. The book of Enoch I take with a grain of salt. Not only that but the Council of Trent said I must believe these Apocraphyl books or I am anathema.

If God wanted to keep the book of Enoch in the canons He has the power and would have done so. It's out for a reason just like the Apocrypha.

Yes I have, several times.

No you haven't or you would see the inconsistencies or you are dull.

20598609? ago
You're following the teachings of men rather than of God.
Show me where the Bible claims to be the infallible, inerrant, plenary word of God? Did Jesus ever say that?
You should read it again, pay very special attention to Moses.
20598719? ago
So you are saying God's word doesn't exist? If it does, where can I get a copy?
20598769? ago
Jesus is the Living Word of God. He is eternal.
Seek and you will find. Humble yourself, pray and ask God for understanding if it's his will. Then be open to what He tells you.
