He will destroy the wicked ones and censure all flesh on account of everything that they have done, that which the sinners and the wicked ones committed against him. Charles has written many books about the book of Enoch. He has supplied a Greek text of Enoch.
The Greek text supplied by him has myrias in the plural. The difference is not real since the Greek word is identical. Careful examination of the two passages reveals some significant differences, however. Therefore, this is a significant difference. Charles has 36 words.
Therefore, it is inaccurate to conclude that Jude just copied Enoch. It was also about these men that Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying.
Jude 14 NASB. Since the book of Jude was written by Jude under the influence of God the Holy Spirit 2 Peter , we conclude that the book of Jude is truth. It does not matter if Jude knew about the non-canonical non-biblical source.
Therefore the first book of Enoch is wrong with regard to some facts and Jude can be trusted. Because Jude quoted the prophet Enoch we can know what happened historically. It is commonly misunderstood that the content of the Bible evolved over time. But the New Testament clearly tells us that the apostles were identifying Scripture as it was being written 2 Peter ; cf. The New Testament books were being distributed by the apostles to the various churches to be read Galatians ; Colossians ; 1 Thessalonians ; 2 Thessalonians ; By the time the apostles died, the New Testament had been written and its books were known.
The Muratorian Fragment and several of the early fathers have left us a list of books that were identified as belonging to the New Testament. Some books were challenged later but never with success. It is important to note that a few early church fathers highly valued the book of Enoch, but they never referred to it as Scripture. Therefore, we cannot view it as authoritative since it is not the Word of God. James H Charlesworth. The Old Testament Pseudepigrapha.
Balz and Schneider. Exegetical Dictionary of the New Testament. I have seen your view about the book of Enoch. I did not say that it is not authentic. Scholars do not believe that it is a later forgery, but a truly ancient document.
The question is not whether it is authentic, but whether it is inspired. What we can say for sure is that the book 1 Enoch is a pseudepigraph. In other words, it was not written by the supposed author—Enoch. We know this because Enoch lived before Noah and no one believes that the book was actually written by Enoch.
This reason—that the book has a falsely claimed authorship—may be sufficient reason to reject any claim to inspiration of the book. No pseudepigraphs entered into the Bible unless you consider 1 Enoch part of the Bible. Again, the book is authentic, but the question is whether it is inspired.
My strongest reason for rejecting 1 Enoch as part of the biblical canon is that the Jews never accepted it as part of their canon. God used the Jewish teachers and scribes to determine the Jewish canon and they did not accept 1 Enoch.
There is no evidence that the Jews as a whole accepted the book as part of the Jewish Bible. The book was not even written originally in Hebrew.
In neither these local councils nor in the 7th Ecumenical Council was the Book of Enoch specified as one of the canonical Old Testament books. The canon that the 7th Ecumenical Council ratified was the combined lists of the two aforementioned local councils:. Sign up to join this community. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top.
