It does indeed say that they left their first estate and went after strange Greek hetoros flesh. It compares it to Sodom and Gomorrah. Because both went after heteros flesh. Flesh other than their own. In the case of the Netflix who left their assigned estate heaven , they went after different flesh because they were celestial beings going after fleshly relations with earthly beings.
In the story of Sodom and Gomorrah. It was the other way around. Earthly men went after celestial beings cloaked in flesh. That is why the comparison was made in the book of Jude and why the Greek word heteros other than their own kind was used. Now we have a book that we accept as inspired scripture—Jude—yet we reject a portion of the scripture because he sites Enoch. That sounds problematic. That should say neflim and not Netflix auto correct:. It amazes me how such poison and hatred can come from the mouths of so-called righteous Christians when communicating to others regarding the Word of God.
So you disagree with something you yourself cannot prove, does that make you right? I don't think so. Have you ever read the Book of Adam and Eve? Probably not, but if and when you do, you will realize that Adam and Even were created as spiritual beings - they were not made "physical" until they were cast from the Garden which is NOT a physical place here on earth.
They were then given physical bodies as punishment for disobeying God. The fallen angels could very well have either manifested physical bodies or perhaps possessed the bodies of men and had relations with women, there are even accounts of women being raped by evil spirits known as incubuses.
Sounds to me that you need to do a little more research before casting such judgement onto others for simply doing the real work. The 'Mighty Men of Renown' are the Gibborim created by the Watchers when they left their heavenly abode and came down to the daughters of men as recorded in Genesis Chapter of the Old Testament.
They are half breeds, angelic hybrids, the Titans. When fallen angels shape-shift into a form of human being they can have intercourse but not without some aberrant genetic changes.
The union of these beasts with humans produced children that were different in many ways. The first apparent difference was that they developed giantism. They were giants or Nephilim. Og the King of Bashan had a bed that was 13 to 15 feet long; and Goliath was 6 cubits tall 9 feet.
The second aberration was that they had six fingers and six toes According to the Bible, only Noah escaped this genetic intervention at the time. There are no records of these perverse tendencies prior to the intervention of the Watchers.
These dormant genetic tendencies still surface today at times in different people The Watchers are a guardian class of angels that were assigned to watch over the earth and protect mankind from just this sort of thing happening. Dabauz December 14, - am Permalink. Biblical Canon, just man's twisted ideas? If the god's word that one claims to believe in can so easily easily, as in mere men altering, corrupting, and essentially bastardizing be rendered of no effect, by mere men, then perhaps one's god is not G-d after all?!
Well, those that follow the unbiblical, anti-biblical Jewish custom of not pronouncing the name of Elohiym, seem to not have understood anything in the Bible so far. Believe me, you do not die, when you write God. I never use this word, I always say Elohiym.
The name of Elohiym is Yahveh. It was revealed, so we can call upon his name. Amen SharonZ June 29, - am Permalink. This book is composed of several teachings on fallen angels, astronomy, a book of dreams and visions, and others. Four fragments were found in Hebrew. The rest of the book was lost and not recovered until one was found in the Ge'ez language, which is in Ethiopian.
The book in the Ge'ez language does not match the fragments of the Aramaic or Hebrew language. The Book of Enoch gives unscriptural accounts of fallen angels.
It gives the names of many angels who were suppose to have had relations with humans which created giants. Also it gives account of Enochs travels to heaven, his dreams and visions and revelations. This all sounds interesting to a curious searcher, however a little history can cause you to see the truth. First, the Book of Enoch has been proven not to date back to the time of Enoch. The most accurate date for the book is bc.
The earliest possible dating could have been in the Babylon captivity era. This is only in reference to the "book of watchers" contained in the Book of Enoch. The "book of watchers" is the only book that is in fact written in an early dated time period. The "book of parables" contained in the Book of Enoch has been dated to 1 century BC. The "book of watchers" and the "book of parables" were only found in fragments, so there is no real evidence of the entire Book of Enoch.
In fact all of what existed as the Book of Enoch was lost until it supposedly showed up in the 17th century in the Ge'ez language. The language that did not match the original fragments. The "book of watchers" quotes Deuteronomy Deuteronomy was not written in Enoch's time since Enoch was the seventh from Adam and Moses was not even born yet! The same quote from Deuteronomy in the "book of watchers" may also be from 1Peter which would mean that even the "book of watchers" was added to at a later time.
It is proven fact that the books in the Book of Enoch were all written in different time periods. This is proven by use of language, customs of the day, wording, and carbon dating. According to scholars who studied the fragments from the Qumran Cave, it is believed that a sect of Jews called Enochic Jews, who did not follow the Mosiac Law or the traditions of the Israelites wrote some of the book.
It was never accepted as the inspired word of God because it strayed away from truth of the scriptures given by Moses. Enochic Judaism differs from the Word of God on the origin of sin, God's covenant of circumsion, the observance of the Sabbath, and the Mosiac law. None of these were acknowleged by this sect.
What was written of the Book of Enoch during that time period, mainly the "book of watchers" played a major role in the history of Jewish mysticism and was represented by the mystics to spread false teachings which were not given through the law and prophets. The Book of Enoch in our day is not even the original book, nor does it match any of the Qumran fragments; And of course Enoch was not the one who wrote it. We also know that it surely did not come from God.
God preserves His word and the Book of Enoch was not preserved nor can it stand up under the testings of time and accuracy. Do you believe that the God of all heaven who set the stars in their place, spoke the sun and moon and the earth into existence; Jehovah who is the God of all order and of every living thing would not be able to keep His word throughout all ages even to all eternity?
Believing in the Bible automatically requires us to believe that God preserved and gave to man His inspired word. It is faith in God and His ability to keep us and what He has given us to the end.
For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day. To teach that fallen angels had relations with man and created giants is to teach that some people are the offspring of satan and directly have satan's DNA in their mortal bodies.
This is definitely a doctrine of demons who want to take credit for God's creation. If God made Eve for Adam, animals for animals, birds for birds all after their own kind so that there could be no intermingling of the different kinds of flesh; do you really think that God would allow satan to have that kind of access?
The Book of Enoch is heresy and those who teach it are in grave error and in danger of God's judgment. This is not legalistic, it is truth from God's heart.
Believe the eyewitnesses of Christ life, the true writers of the Word of God, his Apostles who knew Him and walked with Him. Remember that the Christian faith is built on the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone. Stand firm on the Word of God only and take heed to this warning in 2 Peter But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction The bible is a book of fallen angels.
It consistently talks about what the fallen angels either have done, is doing, or will do. Astronomy is the reason the Magi came looking for Jesus because of the Star of David. Through astronomy and astrology we know what time it is or what season it is.
How did they know when the New Moon festival was to be celebrated outside of astronomy? Num Revelations is a book of Dreams and Visions. Many of the other books contain dreams and visions. Not sure if you knew, but many of the bible verses are not a match for the "original text" but are a match for the Dead Sea Scrolls. Actually, they ARE scriptural.
It boils down to interpretation, though I hear what you are saying, however, there are many factors that I feel aren't being considered. An important part of church history is when the books within the Bible became officially part of the canon at the Council of Nicea in AD.
Although many in the church had already considered the 66 books canonical, various authors writing under pseudonyms most Gnostics tried to sneak false books into the church. It was up to the church to determine the final canonization of the Bible. Although we cannot dive into all the processes involved at Nicea, as entire books have been written on the subject, we can highlight in brevity some of the ways they determined the canonicity of a book.
They would analyze previous books already canonized and compare the books up for canonization. If those books contained many contradictions to what scriptural canon asserted, they would not move forward in placing the book in the canon. They also relied on the promptings of the Holy Spirit to guide them in the process.
Again, entire books have been dedicated to the subject, but we can rest assured that they didn't simply go on a whim in terms of determining which books fit within the canon of Scripture. But we highly recommend you read any of these books with caution and discernment. If you find yourself influenced by the wording held within the books of the Apocrypha, then close them for the time being. And make sure to stay in the Word on a daily basis. Although it's fun to explore extra-biblical books written millennia ago, it's far more important to invest in God's Word.

Overview of the Book of Enoch The Book of Enoch is any of the several falsely attributed texts whose claimed authorship is attributed to Enoch, who was the great-grandfather of Noah Genesis The Question of Jude 14 and Titus and the Book of Enoch There is some debate on whether Jude was quoting in Jude 14 the apocryphal book of Enoch or something else.
Today on Christianity. That, surprisingly, seems to be what got the ball rolling on ditching the texts, not the inclusion of blood-sucking kaiju monsters. Still, you can't keep a good religious text down, and there are still a few denominations of Abrahamic faith that treat the Book of Enoch as canonical. Ethiopian Jews still treat its teachings as gospel, and the writings have a long history in the region, with the only pre-modern copy of the text having been written in ancient Ge'ez, an old African language.
Fragments of the Book of Enoch have made their way into mainstream religion, however. Jude has a particularly familiar piece of writing: " Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convict all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
Compare that to Enoch's version which, translated from Ge'ez, reads "And behold! He cometh with ten thousands of His Saints To execute judgment upon all, And to destroy all the ungodly: And to convict all flesh Of all the works of their ungodliness which they have ungodly committed, And of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him. Depending on your read on the situation, you could even say he took a sad psalm and made it better.
Other portions of the Book of Enoch were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls, which, if you're unfamiliar, are sort of the hip, obscure B-sides of the Bible that didn't make it into the studio edit.
