Christians what do you think about the book of Enoch?

I'm a Christian myself, but have always thought there may be some truth in mythologies when they talk about "gods" sleeping with human women and producing superhumans such as Hercules. This is very similar to the passage in Genesis talking about the sons of God sleeping with the daughters of men and producing giants (Nephilim). I did a little research and found out about the book of Enoch and how stuff like this is in there. I also found out that some people view the book of Enoch as blasphemy and some view it as the truth. I also read somewhere that there are three parts but only the first part is the truth. Please provide information because this is something that I would like answered thoroughly and clearly. Also please tell me why it isn't in the Bible.

Thank you and God bless

    It is not in the cannon because the author could not be verified. If the book contradicts the Bible then it is false. There were giants in those days the Bible says. It is thought that Goliath was one of those spoken about. I was always confused with the theory you speak of. The apostle Paul wrote that in heaven we would be as the angels neither marrying nor given in marriage ( sex ). How then could the "fallen" angels come unto ( sexually ) the daughters of men? Was there a time when the angels had a choice ? Obviously there was since Satan himself deceived 1/3 or the angels in heaven. Can you imagine how powerful he must have been to deceive that many angels who beheld the face of God daily and served him? God cast them out and today they are the demons that act like someone's relative again to deceive. This is often referred to as the dispensation of angels.

    This is a great one time read for any Christian. but the living word in the Bible is what must always be front and center for the book of Enoch is a advanced book.

    It isn't just in the Book of Enoch. It is also in Genesis chapter 6. Enoch just goes into more detail. The Jews have that book and consider it part of their history. Here is a link to it if you are interested.

    it is missing from the book of scriptures for a reason...a very good reason

    [sons of God: A sentient creation of God not born of a woman: Angels.]

    [Giants: The abominable, hybrid, children from the sons of men [humans] & sons of God [angels].

    [Dinosaurs: The bible predates that 19th century word. Those abominations were only described, not given a name. The fusion of different species of animals by the power of the evil guardian angels. ]

    [The start of witchcraft and sorcery: THE TWO MAIN REASONS FOR THE FLOOD.]

    [EXAMPLE: crocodile + bird = Pterodactyl]

    King James Version Bible

    Job Chapter 1

    6. Now there was a day when the SONS OF GOD came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.

    Daniel Chapter 3

    25. He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the SON OF GOD.

    Genesis Chapter 6

    1. And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,

    2. That THE SONS OF GOD saw the daughters of men that they [were] fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

    4. There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare [children] to them, the same [became] mighty men which [were] of old, men of renown.

    12. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.

    Romans Chapter 3

    10. AS IT IS WRITTEN, There is none righteous, no, not one:

    Genesis Chapter 6

    9. These [are] the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man [and] PERFECT IN HIS GENERATIONS, [and] Noah walked with God.

    [Christ was the only sinless man. How can Noah & his direct line be “perfect” after reading that verse? Noah and his family DID NOT HAVE SEX WITH THE SONS OF GOD, NOR THEIR HYBRIDS.]

    [In summary, THE GIANTS CAUSED AN IMBALANCE in the food chain. The evil guardian angels fused different species of animals, we have today, to sustain the giants. This answers a great deal of questions; such as why the Lord hates witchcraft/sorcery & why He enacted the death penalty from Moses to Malachi.]

    The Book of Enoch: Chapter 7

    1. It happened after THE SONS OF MEN had multiplied in those days, that daughters were born to them, elegant and beautiful.

    2. And when the angels, THE SONS OF HEAVEN, beheld them, they became enamoured of them, saying to each other, Come, let us select for ourselves wives from the progeny of men, and let us beget children.

    10. Then they TOOK WIVES, each choosing for himself; whom they began to approach, and with whom they cohabited; teaching them sorcery, incantations, and the dividing of roots and trees.

    11. And THE WOMEN CONCEIVING BROUGHT FORTH GIANTS,

    12. Whose stature was each three hundred cubits. These devoured all which the labor of men produced; until it became impossible to feed them;

    [300 Cubits = 437.50 Feet.]

    13. When they turned themselves against men, in order to devour them;

    14. And BEGAN TO INJURE birds, beasts, reptiles, and fishes, to eat their flesh one after another, and to drink their blood.

    [“began to injure” = miscegenation = sorcery/witchcraft]

    [I believe the evil angels merged/mutated natural animals to create “dinosaurs” to feed the giants due to their enormous size.]

    The Book of Enoch: Chapter 8

    9. AND MEN, BEING DESTROYED, CRIED OUT; and their voice reached to heaven.

    The Book of Jasher Chapter 4

    18. And their judges and rulers went to the daughters of men and took their wives by force from their husbands according to their choice, and the sons of men in those days took from the cattle of the earth, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and taught the mixture of animals of one species with the other, in order therewith to provoke the Lord; and God saw the whole earth and it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted its ways upon earth, all men and all animals.

    [“taught the mixture of animals” = miscegenation = sorcery/witchcraft]

    The Book Jubilees Chapter 5

    2. And lawlessness increased on the earth and all flesh corrupted its way, alike men and cattle and beasts and birds and everything that walks on the earth -all of them corrupted their ways and their orders, and they began to devour each other, and lawlessness increased on the earth and every imagination of the thoughts of all men (was) thus evil continually.

    [“corrupted their ways and their orders” = miscegenation = sorcery/witchcraft]

    5. But Noah found grace before the eyes of the Lord.

    Genesis Chapter 6

    17. AND, BEHOLD, I, even I, DO BRING A FLOOD of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein [is] the breath of life, from under heaven; [and] every thing that [is] in the earth shall die.
