Enoch was used as always, by believers in the Gospel and by scholarly Jews, before some men decided to sit in the seat of God over men's minds and tell them what to read and not to read...., but the Ethiopian Church had Enoch, having been started by Jews in Ethiopia who heard the Gospel and who did not get rid of their sacred books. They did not come under Rome, on what to toss out and not to have in their Bible [which word means collection of books]..
OH!
You want Proof, well here's Proof.
The Book of Enoch was not included in the Canon of the Bible in 381 AD. and it still isn't in the Bible today, because it was not Inspired as the other 66 Books were.
That is the only Proof which matters.
.You guys also have to realize that there is an insidious disinformation agenda in the works today that is foisted by the internet. The narrative of '"truth" is stranger than fiction' is an ever-perpetual mechanism of skepticism of what is already known.
You mistake "God breathed" for "man taking the place of the Holy Spirit, and by consensus, making lists that change with the winds of politics in their churches".

Funny thing is before our canon the new testament never existed in writing during the time of Jesus. They only had Jewish canon..
And the 66 books in the Canon have been changed how many time in the last 1636 years?

What in the world is "deuterocannonical" in real people words?Fair enough. Would you consider the Apocrypha to be deuterocannonical? As a protestant, I do not.
This of course has caused many to wonder why it is not included in modern Bibles...
It is. Enoch is part of the Canon of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, and always has been going back nearly 2000 years.
Have you read it?Simple answer, the canon of Scripture is closed and it was closed long before the Gnostic book of Enoch came out. The book of Enoch was never accepted as part of the canon and does not pass the 3 tests of canonicity: it is not apostolic (it was not written by an apostle), it is not not orthodox (it disagrees with other scripture), and it is not catholic (catholic as in universally accepted by believers in Jesus Christ, not Roman Catholic).
The book of Enoch is essentially nonsense.
That's got to be the most stupid reasoning I've heard lol! Of course Enoch was not an apostle...nor was Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joshua, the prophets...Simple answer, the canon of Scripture is closed and it was closed long before the Gnostic book of Enoch came out. The book of Enoch was never accepted as part of the canon and does not pass the 3 tests of canonicity: it is not apostolic (it was not written by an apostle), it is not not orthodox (it disagrees with other scripture), and it is not catholic (catholic as in universally accepted by believers in Jesus Christ, not Roman Catholic).

Ugh...I almost believed Ron Wyatt but, unfortunately I could not...his findings were too shrouded in mystery.It's a very interesting story... just google anything about Ron Wyatt.
It literally means second canon while apocryphal literally means that which is hidden.What in the world is "deuterocannonical" in real people words?
HA! There were no 66 books of "canon" until after some guy decided it in the very late 19th century....too bad you follow the Archbishop of Cantubury on that....and that is why the KJV Bible printers in England began to leave the other books out.....
And the 66 books in the Canon have been changed how many times in the last 1636 years?
You may as well throw out the old testament because none of the apostles wrote those. They are also not accepted completely by mainstream Christianity. And they sure don't agree with the self proclaimed orthodoxy (literally 'Right opinion') of men who don't believe the law needs to be followed as handed down by Moses.Simple answer, the canon of Scripture is closed and it was closed long before the Gnostic book of Enoch came out. The book of Enoch was never accepted as part of the canon and does not pass the 3 tests of canonicity: it is not apostolic (it was not written by an apostle), it is not not orthodox (it disagrees with other scripture), and it is not catholic (catholic as in universally accepted by believers in Jesus Christ, not Roman Catholic).
