Okay. I assure you that they wrestled with themselves and others over theology.
But the councils are not jsut some human thing
They were trying to square the circle in many ways.
So the conclusion is that God, through the Church, through the writer of the book, wants Enoch to be read, and considered, and whatever
Some things were left open to theological wrestling
This isn't one of them
"For in the resurrection they [humans] neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels of God in heaven" (Matthew 22:30; see Mark 12:25).
**Matthew 22:30 - New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)**
```Dust
<30> For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. ```
**Mark 12:25 - New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)**
```Dust
<25> For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. ```
This contradicts the idea of angels marrying women.
And Enoch is still declared Scripture by the Church created by Christ
Wow, sounds like a mess.
Doesn't seem like a mess to me
Do you really think that a book can't be scripture if you consider it to contradict whatever?
How do you deal with that apparent contradiction?
I think Enoch is absurd, yeah. It contradicts scripture. Jasher gives us a better explanation, and is cited as historical throughout the bible.
The label of Scripture marks something as divinely inspired, with a grasp of something divine
That is, divine intervention in some way, I would say
Now if you want to study the canon
Study the councils where they were declared canonical!
It doesn't apply only to Enoch, but to many books where some say "this is part of the canon" or "this is not". I follow the catholic canon.
Now anyone can dismiss the luke parable with a quick excuse
But it is up to you to determine if the excuses are consistent
And sound
It helps when you read the earliest christians and they all agree on something

@-EE- BaltBerg Its called the energy essence distinction

Dude, I just mentioned how "gender identity disorder/body dysmorphia" are just psychosis
In relation to St. Maximus the Confessor by the looks of it
??
He said "RE: gender identity disorder/body dysmorphia"
And I simplified it
@Deleted User Dude, the Book of Enoch is non-canonical. It's never been in the Bible, Catholic or otherwise. It's no more infallible than the Gospel of Mary.
Yes it has actually
The Ethiopian miaphysites use it in their Bible
