Why was the Book of Enoch removed from the bible?
I did do a little research before posting my question and found out that only the Ethiopian Christians kept it, that Jews rejected it because it......
well the thing is that fragments of it were found in the Dead Sea Scrolls. It seems like an authentic part of the Old Testament and only Ethiopians have...
But even the accepted Genesis which Christians accept says angels from heaven had children with earthly female humans, so the book of Enoch only expands on...
The original book of Enoch is written in a mixture of Ge'ez (or something like that spoken in Ethiopia), Aramaic and Latin. Lets share what we know about it
I'll like to read too obitexjr@gmail.com

Who removed them?
who put them there in the first place?

the book was never in the bible in the first place! church fathers as at that time gathered and examined several scriptures to determine if they were genuinely inspired by the holy spirit. Christianity just became state religion in Rome and there was need to streamline activities and stamp out paganism. many christian sects and scriptures were available then. some were overtly heretical (as in their message did not align with that of the church fathers) while some (like the book of Enoch) were somehow complicated. these books certainly contained biblical truth, but there were passages/chapters/verses in these books that were suspicious. hence these books were described as non-canonical and excluded from what eventually became the bible (as we see it today).

the book of enoch is 'A' fraud, lies by God enemy to confront the truth in the bible.

We read in chapter 40 of the Book of
Enoch...
9 seen and whose words I have
heard and written down?’ And he
said to me: ‘This first is Michael,
the merciful and long-suffering:
and the second, who is set over
all the diseases and all the
wounds of the children of men, is
Raphael: and the third, who is
set over all the powers, is
Gabriel: and the fourth, WHO IS
SET OVER THE REPENTANCE UNTO
HOPE OF THOSE WHO INHERIT
ETERNALl LIFE, IS NAME PHANUEL.’
10 And these are the four angels
of the Lord of Spirits and the four
voices I heard in those days.

The Bible never mentions an angel named Phanuel, let alone an angel who is set over the repentance of those who inherit eternal life. What blasphemy! That statement in itself contradicts everything the Word of God teaches. We read in 1st Timothy 2:5 that Jesus Christ is the ONLY Mediator between God and men, not some angel named Phanuel... " For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. " Repentance is strictly between a man and Jesus Christ
alone. Only Jesus died for our sins, and shed His blood to pay for them(1st Peter 1:18-19); therefore, we must be diligent to guard and defend against LIARS and imposters who would lead people to believe otherwise. 1st John 2:22 clearly
indicts all Christ-deniers as LIARS, guilty before God.
how many angels do u know??
@OP tanx 4 dis post...there are a lot of things in Genesis that were not too clear. But a lot of things were clearly expanded in this "book of enoch". like d stroy of d fallen angels and how they conspired b4 they did what they did. it also explained d concept of time and season. Really great and interesting book I must say. I guess d modern Jews didn't want to accept it because they regarded Ethiopians as inferiors #Racism....God bless u!

shaxxjesse:
The Book of Enoch (also 1 Enoch;[1] Ge'ez: መጽሐፈ ሄኖክ mätṣḥäfä henok) is an ancient Jewish religious work, ascribed by tradition to Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah, although modern scholars estimate the older sections (mainly in the Book of the Watchers) to date from about 300 BC, and the latest part (Book of Parables) probably to the first century BC.[2]

It is not part of the biblical canon as used by Jews, apart from Beta Israel. Most Christian denominations and traditions may accept the Books of Enoch as having some historical or theological interest or significance, but they generally regard the Books of Enoch as non-canonical or non-inspired.[3] It is regarded as canonical by the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church and Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church, but not by any other Christian group.

It is wholly extant only in the Ge'ez language, with Aramaic fragments from the Dead Sea Scrolls and a few Greek and Latin fragments. For this and other reasons, the traditional Ethiopian belief is that the original language of the work was Ge'ez, whereas non-Ethiopian scholars tend to assert that it was first written in either Aramaic or Hebrew; Ephraim Isaac suggests that the Book of Enoch, like the Book of Daniel, was composed partially in Aramaic and partially in Hebrew.[4]:6 No Hebrew version is known to have survived. It is asserted in the book itself that its author was Enoch, before the Biblical Flood.

The authors of the New Testament were familiar with the content of the story and influenced by it:[5] a short section of 1 Enoch (1 En 1:9 or 1 En 2:1 depending on the translation) is quoted in the New Testament (Epistle of Jude 1:14–15), and is attributed there to "Enoch the Seventh from Adam" (1 En 60:cool. The text was also utilised by the community that originally collected the Dead Sea

How can I get a copy of it bro?

God bless you brother!!!!
People need to be careful what they mentally ingest.
Heard about this book a long time ago, never even gave it a second thought, as some things are better left alone.
The pursuit of knowledge is always a justifiable cause, but in reality sometimes these actions just go overboard.

malvisguy212:
have you done a research properly ? If you do you will know why, the book of enoch is devilish
The book of enoch say man wisdom came from DEMON named Penemue .

We read in the Book of Enoch, chapter 69:8-12...
8 ...And the fourth was named
Penemue: he taught the
9 children of men the bitter and
the sweet, and he taught them
all the secrets of their wisdom.
And he instructed mankind in
writing with ink and paper, and
thereby many sinned from
eternity to
10 eternity and until this day.
For men were not created for
such a purpose, to give
confirmation
11 to their good faith with pen
and ink. For men were created
exactly like the angels, to the
intent that they should continue
pure and righteous, and death,
which destroys everything, could
not have taken hold of them, but
through this their knowledge
they are perishing, and through
this power
12 it is consuming me.

What ... man's wisdom came from a demon named Penemue? That's crazy! Did ink and paper cause the fall of the human race? Whoa ... I'd better through all my fine-point pens away immediately! It was Adam's sin that brought sin into the world (Romans 5:12); not evil literature. Mankind is inherently evil of himself, prone to the works of the flesh (Galatians 5:19-21). The Charismatics (Pentecostals) give far too much credit to demons for the sinful actions of men. They believe that every sin a person commits is evidence of
demon-possession. That is absurd! Men and women sin because they are sinners! (Romans 3:10,23).

Devilish from what I have seen as u illustrated. But why are people still using bearing the name of someone that brought about evil book?

Brother the Books of Moses and Enoch are not occultic books. Jesus Christ read the scrolls from the temple. Those scrolls were written by Moses and Enoch.

Christ said he has not come to destroy the law or the prophets. Change your church, obviously your shepherd is not a theologian. Stop attending prosperity churches

they were basically removed because those books contained heresy; information that did not agree with church doctrine/teachings as at the time of their removal

Where they actually removed? No, they were not removed, rather they were not accepted as being(canonical) part of the Bible, when some interest wanted it to be made part of the Bible. When you say it was removed that means it was already part of the Bible, but it was not

Are their doctrines more superior,important to the teachings of the bible? Are we to follow some parts of the bible or follow doctrines that are not listed in the bibble?help me out pls


who are you referring to as "their"?

first thing you should know is that this issue is not about superiority of doctrine. its about the truth and how it is interpreted. the bible contains truth, so do others. what were are concerned about is the validity of the "truth" contained in the book.
Re: Why Was The Book Of Enoch Removed From The Bible? by dollarathe(m): 8:38am On Dec 27, 2015
Why must it be in the bible ? How do you judge and categorize epistles that should be in the bible ? is bible some story book ?, if you wanna know about everything that existed you can subscribe to some history channels and discovery world !!! The fact that some book called Enoch existed doesn't mean it should be in the bible !!! if every scrolls you found under the earth,sea,tree and wat av u should be incorporated and called HOLY BIBLE of what importance will they be to the belief and gospel of Jesus Christ ? Some parts of the world saw these scrolls, read them and imbibe it into their living, that's why we have other religions like encancar, mommor, roscichuschian, illuminati,masonry,Zionism, Judaism etc... so the fact that some scripts have been discovered newly or in the ancient.... doesn't me they are that strong and must be followed by Christians.

The Ethiopian bible is written in amharic, difficult to read except u understand d language.

Amharic is a modern form of geez, however geez is still used by priests of the Ethiopian orthodox church.

did you leave your sense somewhere? Didn't you notice the facth at that book was writing by the grand father of Noah thousand year before fictitious Jesus was born.. The is an eye opener to our Christain fanatic that the bible was edited to suit a purpose.. Why didn't they include the gospel of banabas who explained Jesus affair with Mary Magdalene ??
