Neither the tablets/books by Joseph Smith nor books purportedly written by Enoch are accepted as Scripture by any serious theologian.
You are a one woman band.
I have read the Enoch books. No doubt they have truths.
But they have also have errors which disqualify them as a prophet.
They are a compilation of Jewish writings full stop. All sources I have read have declined their authorship as being Enoch himself.
Enoch lived several hundred years before Moses. Moses wrote the Penteteuch. The FIRST books of the Christian Bible.
The Jews who are the oracles of God ... the keepers of the Word of God ... do not include it ... or dozens of other apocrypha in the Scriptures.
Get some allies. Your credibility is stunted if you can not get the support of the serious theologians.
You should look into the study of Bibleology ... which books made it and why ...
Or maybe we could call the Enoch forum ... "Area 51" ...
.
Tychicum, you are not being truthful in this because there is nothing in 1 Enoch which contradicts anything in the Old or New Testaments and it was writteen before the NEw Testament and personally, Job and Daniel and Isaiah and Revelation have much interconnecting passages with 1 Enoch.
The Jews banned 1 Enoch sometime in 200 AD because it is too Christian, as the doctrine of the Messiah,t he Christ, the Son of Man/Son of God who is the Son of God is the theme of Enoch's visions, who was to come but was from the beginning hid in God, concealed, kept secret.
You may compare your mid acts dispy books to Joseph Smiths, as both were products of modern men, but you may not do such shameful injustice to the book which the LORD quoted and also Peter, Paul, James, Jude and John quoted and used.
anyone familiar with the Old and New Testaments who is born again who reads 1 Enoch recognizes the many passages in 1 Enoch which are quoted in the New Testament and in the old.
That said;
Jesus Christ as the Word of God now come in flesh, who was from the beginning with God and was God, is the secret kept hidden, the bread from heaven, which is now concealed within each born again Believer.
Rev 2:17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the
hidden [krupto] manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth [it].
Jhn 6:33For the bread of God [the secret manna] is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
Jhn 6:34Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
Jhn 6:35And Jesus said unto them,
I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
Jhn 6:45It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.
Jhn 6:47Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
Jhn 6:48
I am that bread of life.
"I am the [formerly kept secret] Manna"
Jhn 6:61When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?
Jhn 6:62[What]
and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
Jhn 6:63
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, [they] are spirit, and [they] are life.
Now This passage is a recognizing that the Christ is that particular Son of God told of in Enoch -the Apostles get it!
Jhn 6:69
And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.

1Enoch has always been accepted Canon in the Ethiopian coptic Church. 1 Enoch totally refutes MAD doctrine.
1.
Still, even at the end of the second century, Tertullian was of the opinion that the Book of Enoch must be included in the Old Testament;
this book as well as the Apocalypse of Ezra, the Assumpsion of Moses and others were not only read by Jewish Christians, but had also penetrated to Gentile Christians, and were reverenced by them as books of revelation, as is proved by numerous quotations from these works (first and second centuries).
