Christians what do you think of the Book of Enoch?

The Book of Enoch is an apocryphal and pseudepigraphic text. It is falsely ascribed to Enoch. Produced probably sometime during the second and first centuries B.C.E., it is a collection of extravagant and unhistorical Jewish myths, evidently the product of exegetical elaborations on the brief Genesis reference to Enoch. This alone is sufficient for lovers of God’s inspired Word to dismiss it.

In the Bible, only the book of Jude contains Enoch’s prophetic words: “Look! Jehovah came with his holy myriads, to execute judgment against all, and to convict all the ungodly concerning all their ungodly deeds that they did in an ungodly way, and concerning all the shocking things that ungodly sinners spoke against him.” (Jude 14, 15) Many scholars contend that Enoch’s prophecy against his ungodly contemporaries is quoted directly from the Book of Enoch. Is it possible that Jude used an unreliable apocryphal book as his source?

How Jude knew of Enoch’s prophecy is not revealed in the Scriptures. He may simply have quoted a common source, a reliable tradition handed down from remote antiquity. Paul evidently did something similar when he named Jannes and Jambres as the otherwise anonymous magicians of Pharaoh’s court who opposed Moses. If the writer of the Book of Enoch had access to an ancient source of this kind, why should we deny it to Jude?*—Exodus 7:11, 22; 2 Timothy 3:8.

Enoch was one of the “so great a cloud of witnesses” who were outstanding examples of faith in ancient times. “Enoch kept walking with the true God.” (Genesis 5:18, 21-24; Hebrews 11:5; 12:1) As a prophet of Jehovah, he foretold God’s coming with His holy myriads to execute judgment against the ungodly. (Jude 14, 15, Genesis 3:15)

Enoch courageously “went on walking with the true God” and condemned “the shocking things” that people said against Jehovah. (Genesis 5:22; Jude 14, 15) Likely persecution was brought against him because of his prophesying. However, God did not permit the opposers to kill Enoch.

Paul stressed the importance of faith, saying: “Moreover, without faith it is impossible to please God well.” (Hebrews 11:6) Enoch set a fine example for us.

Enoch is not the writer of the “Book of Enoch.” This is an uninspired, apocryphal book written many centuries later, probably sometime during the second and first centuries B.C.E.

I can tell you I bought a hard back cover copy back in the 80's but because of my back ground in fundament Christian beliefs the superstition of another book, other than the bible, affected my choice to give the book away. but not till after I had read the story of a 200 ft angel. but at the same time was becoming a convert to the church of Jesus Christ, where other books are commanded to look out for and seek. other good books ! the "best" books. then I found out that the legends of giants do exist. goliath had 4 or 5 other brothers. and Gideon spent his time trying to kill THEM. and they have Cerne giant where an outline is traced in the hill

It is fictional and it is not the word of God, so I don't put much stock in it.

Harrypotterlike.

It was cool until it started going on and on about winds and doors and the winds that come out of the doors and it just went on for pages and pages of that so that's where I stopped reading it

YES, the Apocalypse, and zombies.

I believe it is true.

You bet your sweet butt
