There are supposedly a couple versions, but we know that there was one for Judah mentioned it.

thanks other, i've got that one. I'm just wondering why it isn't included in the Holy Scriptures.

My understanding is that the book of Enoch is considered a pseudoepigraphical book. From CARM:

The Pseudepigraphal books are "false writings."  They are a collection of early Jewish and "Christian" writings composed between 200 BC and AD 200.  However, they too were known and were never considered scripture.

Jude mentions a book of Enoch. We do not know which one that is today.

from my understanding of it, is the book of Enoch was good for some historical value, but it is not considered to be God Breathed, God Inspired, thus it was not included....

as with other writtings from other prophets and people of the times.

shoot, even Bartholomew wrote, but his are not included either....

if we were to include every word that was even given by God, there would be buildings full of them for just a single copy.... even with todays technology, i dont know if a single computer could hold all of the things God has passed on to us thru man or all the other writings that have been done for God.....

you should be able to get a copy ( down load and even print should you feel you need a hard copy ) of the book of Enoch, and how about the Book of Jubalees.... it is also afailable thru the net..... as with many other books.....

we have to remember too, that even in the 1500's there were as many as 80 books in the Bible.... the original KJ had 80 books......

have fun and enjoy your search....

80 books in the Bible. I always wondered about that.

[irishcowboy]

i can not remember what all the names of the books are,

our Bible book store keeps one in stock ( an actual 1611 KJV reprint ) it even has the authorization tag in the front, and has 80 books.... it is actually very difficult to read.

one day (should the Lord tarry much longer) i will perhaps purchase one, along with the Wycliffe and the Tyndale and Geneva and any others i can happen across to include those written in the original languages.

right now thou, we are concentrating our efforts and getting Bibles down to the people in La, Tx, and Ms.

anyways....

have a wonderful day

Thanks guys,

Now i've got more questions, in my head. There are currently 66 books in the Bible, so if there were originally 80, that leaves 12 missing, (a great bit of mathematical deduction there ). Could someone name the 12, the Book of Enoch I know about.

Thanks

I know there must be a 1st and 2nd opinions, for I hear people quoting them all the time
