Please don’t misinterpret what I wrote as questioning God’s word. I’m still convinced that the Bible as we have it today IS the inspired word of YHVH, but certain books that were eliminated can offer more insight as to what was common belief and practice from a Hebraic standpoint, which doesn’t always translate to the thinking we were brought up with. I waded into the book of Enoch very carefully and with much prayer for discernment. I put it in a box as I read, so to speak. Not quite convinced as to the status of “Inspired Word”, but as a supplemental source of contextual information. Be very careful to not allow yourself to be misled!!
I too have just started. These were books were purposely left out of the canon to make Jesus appear more ethereal. In fact since learning that the Bible was basically put together various men to be the word of GOD I’m not sure what to think.
