Obviously one of my first questions before I started reading this book is does it effect my faith. Does it contradict the Holy Bible - NO.
For me this book is informative and it does not change anything in the bible. It just fills in the gap of information at the start of time that is not elaborated on much in the bible.
Does it have relevance in the Bible - YES, read JUDE. "Jud_1:14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, "
The author obviously had read the scrolls of Enoch. This is also a new testament author.
Why then is the book of Enoch not in the bible. Apparanetly beacuse it was originally written in aramaic and the Israelites or Jews thus did not include it. Further somewhere the scrolls were destroyed and or hidden in AD era.
