    Book of Enoch

    POST TWO OF TWO C. Bonner reminded us in 1937 that “…no part of the original writings, Hebrew of Aramaic, which entered into the composite work, has survived in the original Language. The Greek version, in which the church read enoch , also disappeared.” (Campbell Bonner, The Last Chapters of...

    Book of Enoch

    Hi @IndigoChild5559 @IndigoChild5559 said : "Enoch has never been a part of either Jewish or Christian canon, with the exception of the Ethiopian church, which has a very very different idea what the nature of canon is." (post #11) 1) A working definition of what constitutes an individuals'...

    Resurrection of the mentally incapacitated in Jehovahs Witness resurrection theory

    POST ONE OF TWO TWO JEHOVAHS WITNESS THEORIES Bree said : “The word 'spirit' is used in the bible in various ways...sometimes the word means 'wind' and as you point out from the book of Enoch (not a christian text btw) it means breath.” These two claims are, historically, incoherent. For...

    The Protestant Bible is flawed

    It just needs better editors.

    The Protestant Bible is flawed

    “Canon” is an arbitrary standard that has been grossly misunderstood and misapplied. Originally, the canon (which means “standard” or “measure”) was simply “stuff that’s ok to read in church.” It was a basis, not a disqualifier. We use it to determine what’s “valid.” But that wasn’t the...

    Honestly, is there a Bible which is NOT flawed?

    The Protestant Bible is flawed

    POST TWO OF TWO Though “Christian enoch” (i.e. the Greek Enoch) was important, the discovery of Enoch among the dead sea scrolls in such great numbers is the discovery showing Hebrew Enoch was first. In 1956, Father J.T. Milik announced eight different enoch fragments among the dead sea texts...

    The Protestant Bible is flawed

    Hi @Xavier Graham SA I do not think you are alone in your ponderings about scriptures and literality and what form they may have taken historically as opposed to the later versions. Specifically : Regarding your observation that Enoch was quoted as scripture by the writer of Jude : I notice...

    The Protestant Bible is flawed

    Jews do not accept Enoch as canon. Protestants do not accept Enoch as canon. Catholics don't. Eastern Orthodox don't. In fact, the only group that incorporates Enoch is the Orthodox Tehawedo Chruch of Ethiopia, which really has an entirely different defintiion of what canon means. In short...

    The Protestant Bible is flawed

    Just because it quotes Enoch doesn't mean Enoch should by canonized. I don't see the problem.

    The Protestant Bible is flawed

    But hang on, if you don't feel the need to take every bit literally, why is it such a big deal whether one particular obscure book is put in or left out? Surely that is unlikely to affect the key messages the bible conveys, isn't it?

    The Protestant Bible is flawed

    How does that follow? Firstly, St. Jude may simply be quoting Enoch, and another work is separately quoting him. Secondly, even if he is quoting that work it does not follow that it should be canon, for St. Paul quoted pagan poets and they are not canon. Quoting a work doesn't make it inspired...

    The Protestant Bible is flawed

    I grew up in Protestant churches that taught Biblical literalism. Churches also teach that the canon of the Bible and the Bible’s present form is perfect, thanks to divine guidance. Gotquestions is a good reflection of the Protestant sentiment I have encountered in real life, so I’ll use them...

    Question about Saul and the witch of endor

    Something I would ask myself Tzephanyahu, is why is Jude in the early Greek Canon, while Enoch is excluded from the early Hebrew Canon? Then I would ask myself, if God wanted it to be there, would it not be there? So why is it not there? Then I would question myself further. Does it give any...

    Question about Saul and the witch of endor

    That’s not technically accurate. The Apostle Jude clearly references 1 Enoch. (Jude 1:14-15 and 1 Enoch 1:9). What then, was Jude not inspired? It’s in your canon. The Messiah practically quotes 2 Esdras verbatim (Matthew 23:37-38 and 2 Esdras 30:34). Will you concede that as a possibility...

    Duties of the Messiah (Primarily Aimed at Christians)

    And you cannot just ignore verses that have a plain meaning, especially when you have no explanation for them. What do you think the context of these verses within the chapters is?

    Duties of the Messiah (Primarily Aimed at Christians)

    You can't just take some verses at the expense of the others and context is important.,. John 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. Acts 1: 11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing...

    Righteous Lot?

    I think this is a regrettable stance, which I presume emerged from replacement theology and the oft acrimonious partisan environment of Jewish-Christian relations after the destruction of the Temple. It is apparent that the New Testament authors were very deeply embedded in their Second Temple...

    Which Bible is inerrant and inspired?
