    I believe it is true. I do not believe the bull sh!t many say about giants being born from Cain. He was cursed with a mark, yes but his children looked normal. These angels looked at man's daughters and took them as their wives and lovers. This certainly explains giants and other strange cryptids that walked the earth. Many Christians discredit the book of Enoch because it was taken out of the bible or separate. I think it holds credence. The book of Enoch posed as a threat to many who preached or studied in churches about the Bible. It posed a threat because it was a chunk of information that was too great to understand. This is something that goes against norm and it is overwhelming. The concept of giants is almost swept under the rug by most who study or preach.

  • The books of the Apocrypha were not deemed verifiable reliable in the times of the first century AD.Although I believe in the Book of James (?) he quoted from the book of Enoch. It is my belief that the 66 books of the Old and New Testament has all the information nessesary for salvation and to know the heart of God! IMHO why would I want to read anything that may or may not be Gods word. God bless.

  • I'm not a Christian anymore but i have read it...it just goes to show you that if something doesn't fit in the plan it gets cut out.

    Jack have you read the bible? Have you seen the good things it says about enoch? You do know he is one of two men to have never died a mortal death? If his book isn't divinely inspired none of the books in the bible are.

    there have been a lot of books that have been decrease out for the time of the canon of the Bible. Now the Christians could saythat those are not genuine memories I say Bullocks, those are each bit as tell of their time.

    It is very interesting. I'm listening to the audio version now just to refresh my memory.

  • Unlike the Bible, but like a lot of other religious texts, it is interesting to read but not divinely inspired.

    William: Thanks for the laugh.
