Opinions are allowed at Worthy, even unbiblical ones. You know MG It did not occur to me to tell teacher. I am a firm believer in free speech, even though one of my protagonists told me that this board was a private board, and they could do what they liked to my 'free speech'. I thought that I could just let freedom sing its own song and let the readers decide so long as I put my points fairly and as concisely and cordially as possible.

Well no one is allowed to harass or threaten others on this site, Justin, so it's not a bad thing to let the mods handle abusive behavior. Whether I agree or disagree with someone I always believe they have the right to post their views; it's just how free people believe and I think nearly everyone here would agree. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree entirely. Orwell said it best: All men are equal; but some are more equal than others. Such it is on this board I am afraid - but that is child's play really, considering what we are going to be facing in the fairly near future. Where already, bad is good, and peace, peace, where there is no peace. Think about 'news speak', well I try not to even read the news much; just do not like Helegian constructs and disinformation.

I'm with you on the news; I hate it and I DO see the 'bad is good' thing every day. I still watch it but have to limit my time spent on it. It makes me nuts! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who classified it as NOT Scripture and Extrabiblical...? 2. I'm torn here. On one hand...if the Creator of the Universe wanted the Book of Enoch in the "Cannon"...then, it would be. However, just because its not does not IPSO FACTO mean it's corrupted; Especially since the Book "mirrors" Scripture in many instances. The Church Fathers and the New Testament Authors were more than well aware of the Book of Enoch. Quote We are to follow the word of God, not what is outside the canon. Closing your eyes, sticking fingers in the ears and saying la la la... is not a doctrine to adopt, imho. Nevertheless, I personally use the Book for background. Quote Btw, Wikipedia is not recognized as a reliable research tool by most. For good reason. However, that was only 1/8th of the SUPPORT he posted; what about the other 7/8th's ?? regards 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two thirds of the angels are still on God's side, and for followers of Christ, they are on our side as well. It wouldn't matter if Every Angel was cast out of heaven for rebellion. That would only mean that instead of 1/3 of the Angels being doomed to be cast into the lake of fire forever, all the angels would be. Because God is greater than anything He created, He is greater than all of His creation put together. And as Scripture says, If God is with us, who can be against us? (cf. Romans 8:28-39, esp. v. 31b). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Books outside the traditional 66 have been mentioned in the Bible in three different ways: by name, quotation, or alluded too. So what books did the biblical authors consider important? Here is a list: 1) The Book of Jasher 2) The Annals of Jehu 3) The Treatise of the book of Kings 4) The book of Records, Book of Chronicans of Ahasuerus 5) The Acts of Solomon 6) The Sayings of Hozai 7) The Chronicles of David 8) The Book of Wars of the Lord 9)The Chronicals of Samuel, Nathan, Gad 10) Samuels Book 11) The Prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite 12) The Treatise of the Prophet Iddo 13) The Book of Enoch Both OT and NT writers of the Bible considered the Book of Enoch to be divinely inspired, and it is included in the Ethiopian Orthodox Bible which is actually 88 books. If a book is mentioned, quoted, or alluded to is it worthy of study if it expands the understanding of the Bible and why Jesus Christ came to earth? The theory of the book of Enoch is that it was written prior to the book of Genesis and then before that was kept through verbal oral tradition. Our earliest manuscripts date to the 2nd to 3rd centuries BC but scholars believe this is not the original date of the Enochian canon. The first century Christians considered the book of Enoch as inspired canon if not authentic. Thoughts? While you rightly state that these books were referenced in some way in the Canon of Scripture, you conclude with assertions that you simply have not proven. 1.) "Both OT and NT writers of the Bible considered the Book of Enoch to be divinely inspired" and 2.) "The first century Christians considered the book of Enoch as inspired canon..." That the Book of Enoch is included in the Ethiopian Orthodox Bible proves nothing other than that they consider it inspired but "they" do not make up the Church, nor were "they" necessarily right. Remember Pelagius? How about Nestor? and others as well who had their followers of their doctrines/books but were ultimately recognized as being in error? The fact is, the early Church Did Not agree that these books were "inspired" or they would have been in the final Canon of Scripture. The fact that they are referred to or even quoted 'in part' means only that they did have some things to say that were true and worthy. Remember the saying, "A broken clock is right twice a day," which is absolutely true (if you're using a 12 hour clock), but you would not want to depend on it to get to work on time. Neither do you want to place unwarranted confidence/trust in any of those other books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
