    About the current book called "Book of Jasher"...

    Incorrect. The Aramaic for Enoch 1:9 is essentially the same as the version of Enoch from which Jude quoted. To argue "there's not enough evidence" in this case is misleading. No reputable scholar denies that Ethiopic Enoch is fundamentally the same as was used by the apostles in the 1st century.

    The Book of Enoch?

    The Book of Enoch?

    Here's another amalgamation: Early Christian writers accepted the Book of Enoch. Only later, when Greek philosophical assumptions dominated did the Church cast it out!

    Can someone repost the test to see if you can recognize the word of God?

    Christ is risen indeed! But the Sporcle piece compares the Bible and Qu'ran. That one is too easy. Someone on these fora had posted one with sprinklings of quotes from many sources, some Buddhist, etc.

    Did anyone save the content from the post: The Banana Republican: The "Deuterocanon" Is Scripture!? It is no longer online.

    Can someone repost the test to see if you can recognize the word of God?

    Can someone repost the test to see if you can recognize the word of God? It was a list of sample "scriptures" some Biblical, many not to demonstrate how people cannot just "tell" what is authoritative Scripture and what is not. Anyone got that one?

    The Book of Enoch?

    Check it out, the Early Church Fathers, Justin Martyr, Athenagoras, Commodianus and Eusebius all taught that demons originate from the giants, just like the Book of Enoch. I wonder why the Church disregarded the early church fathers? http://ancients.thebookofenoch.info/

    What Augustine said about the Book of Enoch

    What Augustine said about the Book of Enoch

    So, we should follow the lead of an unbelieving Judaism? Their canon was finalized post-Christ. One reason: to prevent Jews from reading Apostolic writings.

    The Book of Enoch?

    In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst forth, and the windows of the heavens were opened.

    What Augustine said about the Book of Enoch

    They appear the same. When a solar eclipse occurs earthbound viewers are able to safely look at the sun for two minutes as the moon neatly covers the disk of the sun, leaving its corona in view. Enoch's reference is to the fact the sun and moon appear to be the same size from a geocentric...
