a_ntv, post: However some books included therein is very interesting, such as the Book of Enoch, quoted as Scripture in Jude 1:14–15
We been arguing on the validity of the modern.Ethiopian text on the Messianic Site, any wishing to read that argument should check the site out.
As for the quote you reference, though Jude quoted Enoch, the text of the modern Enoch does not match one to one Jude's quote. The word myriads is changed to ten thousand yet Jude and Enoch meant myriads "a multitude to numerous to count"!
One could say that error that there is small and it is, it should not effect our lives or faith, but if that one word came through from Hebrew to Ethiopian wrong what of other words? The Dead Sea scrolls shows Enoch in Hebrew, and when Jude wrote his letter, these scrolls were hole and in Hebrew, that not true of the modern text. Perhaps the early church when they formed Canon also could not find that Hebrew text.
Of course we only know this because of that argument on the Messianic site started us searching for the truth. Yet we are Biblical scholars who study the Sacred Scriptures in their original language, not a new believer!
Zimmer: Our advice is to stick to the Sacred Scriptures and Canon works. These will challenge your faith but in time ground it more deeply. Also work on buiding your pray life, starting with the Our Father, Matt6.9-13, and spontaneous prays of thanks giving and love. In time He may call you to study other things, but you need a very strong faith and understanding before attempting material that was left from the Canon.
