Well, that isn't the case. I am more than capable of comprehending the written word. I still suggest you make some attempt to modify your syntax. As it stands you make little or no separation between what you are paraphrasing and the commentary about that same paraphrasing. Of course, you're welcome to demonstrate and embrace your lack of attention to effective communication as much and as often as you like. Just don't be shocked when people read you wrong.
I disagree. I believe you paraphrase in order to make the text say what you want it to say. It's called cherry-picking in common parlance. You've done absolutely nothing to increase my understanding.
As I said, make an effort to put separation between quote and commentary and you will better avoid misunderstanding.
Then why include it as a response to my query about aliens? How is the meaning of his name relevant in the slightest way?
Nope, you just have to drop the other shoe. What does that have to do with anything? How does that suggest that inclusion of Enoch into the Bible will modify the concept 'aliens' as implied by the OP? Or did you forget what question you replied to?
In other words, despite the fact that you've responded directly to my question to Orias, you have no intention of answering my question to Orias. Thanks for clarifying. Now feel free to let him speak for himself, as you clearly (like me) have no idea how he got there. There is nothing about extraterrestrial life in the Bible, so I see no way how the inclusion of the Book of Enoch into the Bible changes the current view of aliens in the Bible (since there isn't one).
You don't seem to understand what I was asking before you responded. I am asking for reference to aliens such that Enoch will modify that reference, if you don't think the Bible contains allusions to aliens then I have no idea why you've interjected.
It makes no difference to me what is or isn't canonical. As I said, get you some staples, glue, or hell why not publish a new version? It's certainly a popular thing to do. I could have sworn I already said that.
The Hebrew name “
JARED” who is the physical father of Enoch, means “
DESCENDING,” So when the scriptures say that it was in the days of
JARED, it is actually said, that it was in the days of
DESCENDING, that the non-human heavenly beings [
Aliens] abandoned their own original habitat and appeared on earth.
Sir Doom wrote.... “
There is nothing about extraterrestrial life in the Bible.”
Obviously you have not read of the heavenly angels appearing to Mary, Joseph and the shepherds, etc. Or are you simply denying that angels are extraterrestrial life forms?
The oldest
COPIES of the Book of Enoch, dating from the third century BCE, were discovered among the Dead Sea Scrolls
Among the Dead Sea Scrolls were a number of manuscripts of the Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha, including ten manuscripts of the Book of Enoch in the original Aramaic (until then copies were extant only in an Ethiopic translation of a Greek translation of a Semitic original), which were vital to answering many questions about its origins. Dating of the manuscripts by their script shows that certain parts of Enoch are at least as old as the third century BCE.
I believe, and will later reveal, that there is ample evidence to support the belief that the original Books of Enoch, the latest
COPIES of which were discovered among the Dead Sea scrolls, date back much earlier than the 5th century, and that the originals were taken from Egypt, the land of first born, by Moses.
After being crucified and his body laid in the bowels of the earth where it remained for three days and three nights, Jesus, 1st Peter 3: 19-21; being made dead in the flesh but alive in spirit and in this form he went and preached the Good News also to the imprisoned spirits, to those who were disobedient long ago, in the days of Noah, etc.
The imprisoned spirits, are those sons of God who had abandoned their own original habitat and descended in the days of Enochs father Jared, and who defiled themselves with the daughters of man, and were later imprisoned until 70 generations had passed.
Crucifixion was a rite in the mysteries of many countries and especially those of Egypt, See
‘The Secret Doctrines,’ vol. 11, p. 558. The initiated adept, who had successfully passed all the trials, was tied to a cross deep inside a Temple Crypt or cave, he was then drugged and plunged into a deep sleep in which state, in the darkness of the bowels of the earth, he remained for three days and three nights, during which time his spirit=mind, is said to have descended into Hades to communicate with the Gods.
Moses, who was the adopted grandson of Pharaoh and who would have been afforded the best education in the country, may have been initiated into the circle of the guardians of the sacred secrets.
Moses took the bread or the sacred teachings of Egypt [
The land of First Born] and removed the yeast and gave to the children of Israel the regulations, rules and laws, that the Israelites were to keep for all time. --------- In one of the religious regulations established by Moses, Aaron would place his hand upon the head of a scapegoat, symbolically transferring the sins of Israel to the goat, which was then sent out into the wilderness to Azazel. What or who, is this Azazel?
In the margins of the Good News Catholic Study Bible, Leviticus 16: concerning “Azazel” it is written by the Catholic authors of the GNB; ‘
AZAZEL’ “The meaning of this Hebrew word is unknown: it may be the name of a desert demon.” ‘Azazel’ see Leviticus16: 8.
According to the ancient writings, it was in the days of Enoch’s Father ‘Jared’, which name means ‘Descending,’ that 200 Sons of God, who Enoch describes as watchers or rather
OBSERVERS, descended and introduced into the primitive culture of mankind, technology that was about equivalent to that which had been achieved three thousand years in the future.
The Orthodox religious organisations are ignorant as to who Azazel is, because they have rejected the books of Enoch, which are the foundation stone of all scripture, and the stone that has been rejected by the builders of the universal church of Emperor Constantine has turned out to be the most important Stone of all.
The books of Enoch from which Jesus and his apostles taught, were cherished by the early Christians and were held in great reverence by many of the early church fathers, including Irenaeus, Tertullian and Origen, until the early 4th century when, under the ban of dogmatic religious authorities such as Jerome, Hillary and Augustin, they finally passed out of circulation and were thought lost for millennia.
In the Epistle of Jude, who is also called Thomas Didymus Jude [The Twin], and who was born to the house of Mary the mother of Jesus and her husband, the carpenter, See Matthew 13: 55; Jude quotes verbatim from the book of Enoch.
The name Jared, means “DESCENDING” see Young’s Analytical Concordance. And in the Pseudepigrapha of the Old Testament, it is written that it was in the days of Jared [The physical father of Enoch] that the Sons of God abandoned their own original habitat and defiled themselves with the daughters of man.
In his last testament, Reuben, the first born son of Jacob who was renamed Israel, states that those Sons of God [The shining ones] could not take on human form, but they would possess the bodies of the men while they were with their wives and from there were able to pass on their issue and giants were born of those unions, and according to Jewish culture, Noah was born a Giant.
From the ‘Book of Enoch the Prophet’ CVI: 1-6, “Methuselah took a wife for his son Lamech, and she became pregnant by him and bore a son. And his body was as white as snow and as red as the blooming of a rose and the hair on his head and his long locks were white as wool, and his eyes beautiful. And when he opened his eyes, he lighted up the whole house like the sun, and the whole house was very bright. And thereupon he arose in the hands of the midwife, opened his mouth, and conversed with the Lord of righteousness. And his father Lamech was afraid of him, and Lamech fled and ran to his father Methuselah. And he said to him: “I have begotten a strange son, diverse from and unlike man, and resembling the sons of the God of heaven; and his nature is different, and he is not like us, and his eyes are as the rays of the sun, and his countenance is glorious. And it seems that he is not sprung from me, but from the angels. And I fear that in his days, a wonder may be wrought on the earth.
To be continued.
