It was not the "Christ rejecting Jews" but the early church leaders, who decided that they did not a reliable copy of the book of Enoch.You know that the information is out there that the Book of Enoch as we have it from the Ethiopian Orthodox Church is as exact as any book of the New Testament discovered, since there are NO original manuscripts of the NT books, either.
Also, you know that Enoch was not included in the "canon" list that the Christ rejecting Jews made AFTER they rejected the Son of Man come in flesh as Redeemer/Kinsman, in the first century, and therefore, the same must needs reject the Scripture [scripture means "writing" and in this instance, accepted as "sacred"]; and there is not one "canon" list accepted in all the Church age, in all the world, that has remained unchanged and universal in all the Church of Christ.
"Canon" has changed with the politics of the rulers of the different denominations many times, over the centuries, and has been used as a "club" against the Believers, not to unify, but to divide, and not as a truly Holy Spirit inspired Gospel fact list.
It is up to believers to know for themselves, and in this day and age, there is no excuse not to know. So to say one rejects because some others rejected is to take sides without truly doing the research on why others equally and [maybe more so], valid authorities accepted.
Enoch shows that the Messiah was the Son of Man who was to come and be revealed, who was with God, hidden in secret, and who was God, and who was to come in flesh and be revealed, and "in whose name the redeemed are saved".
So why did Rome follow those Christ rejecting Jews in that instance, yet use many other of the accepted writings of the same, which the protestants of the west also kept in their Bibles until the late 1800's. Augustine had a big voice in rejecting Enoch, but his reasons are without foundation in understanding the Word of God from the beginning.
I really don't "post" here -don't like to, because of poiltics, but I thought this was worthy to be bumped up.
It's all been said before, many times, so here is another thread from here on the subject:
The Book of Enoch
