Dead Hidden
Not Enoch is finished.
Jude quoted Enoch. Does that make the whole book Scripture?
I owe some of you a book. The finished copy of Not Enoch has now gone out to the preorder list.
I missed the date I promised you. I’m sorry. If you ordered it, check the email you used at checkout. The PDF is attached. You do not need to pay again.
Now, the question that runs through the book.
Jude quoted a prophecy from Enoch. That part is true. The words have a close parallel in 1 Enoch 1:9. Pretending otherwise makes a weak argument weaker.
But open Jude and watch what happens next.
He gives you the prophecy. He names the man who spoke it. He applies it to the ungodly people he is warning about.
Where does he tell you that every other section bound under Enoch’s name is Scripture?
That is the step somebody has to prove.
Paul quoted poets. Their collected works did not become your Bible. A true sentence can be preserved in a book without giving every surrounding sentence the authority of God.
And there is plenty here worth studying. Giants. Angels who left their habitation. A watcher coming down from heaven. You can take those passages seriously and still ask where a commentator got the extra names, numbers, and explanations.
Put the verse in one column. Put the added claim in another.
That little exercise will change how you listen to an awful lot of teaching.
Not Enoch is the longer work behind it: 46 printable pages, seven chapters, eight objections answered, source notes, a reading plan, and a worksheet you can use when the next claim comes along.
It deals with Jude, the missing-book story, angelic names, the calendar, and the seed-war arguments. Scripture quotations are KJV. The sources are there for you to check, including the ones that complicate my own case.
If you want a book that waves away the strange parts of Scripture, this will disappoint you. I want you to read them closely enough to know when somebody has added something.
Pay what you want, $14 minimum. One payment for the PDF.
P.S. Start with chapter one and keep Jude open. You should be able to test my argument before you agree with it.
