Hmm, I kind of feel like James is scripture, it has the same kind of strong appeal to pride that you find in the beatitudes.

Not everything in scripture is good.

> Enoch

It is so good. The jews had to abandon it because it is so messianic. It is so good, I can see why the early church loved it so.

48.2 And at that hour, that Son of Man was named in the presence of the Lord of Spirits, and named in front of the Head of Days. 48.3 Even before the Sun and the constellations were created, before the Stars of Heaven were made, his name was named in front of the Lord of Spirits. 48.4 He will be a staff to the Righteous, and the Holy, so that they may lean on him and not fall, and he will be the Light of the Nations, and he will be the hope of those who grieve in their hearts.

48.6 And because of this, he was chosen, and hidden in front of Him, before the World was created, and for ever. 48.7 But the wisdom of the Lord of Spirits, has revealed him to the holy and the righteous, for He has kept safe the lot of the righteous, for they have hated, and rejected, this world of iniquity. And all its works, and its ways, they have hated, in the name of the Lord of Spirits. For in His Name they are saved, and He is the one who will require their lives.

49.1 For wisdom has been poured out like water, and glory will not fail in front of Him, for ever and ever. 49.2 For he is powerful in all the secrets of righteousness, and iniquity will pass away like a shadow, and will have no existence; for the Chosen One stands in front of the Lord of Spirits, and His Glory is for ever and ever, and His Power for all generations. 49.3 And in him dwells the spirit of wisdom, and the spirit that gives understanding, and the spirit of knowledge, and of power, and the spirit of those who sleep in righteousness. 49.4 And he will judge the things that are secret, and no one will be able to say an idle word in front of him, for he has been chosen in front of the Lord of Spirits, in accordance with His wish.


And, the church had to abandon it because it shows that all of our culture is "a worthless mystery" that the watcher brought to the Earth... and the Trad church loves those things.

8.1 And Azazel taught men to make swords, and daggers, and shields, and breastplates. And he showed them the things after these, and the art of making them; bracelets and ornaments, and the art of making up the eyes, and of beautifying the eyelids, and the most precious and choice stones, and all kinds of coloured dyes. And the world was changed. 8.2 And there was great impiety, and much fornication, and they went astray, and all their ways became corrupt.

8.3 Amezarak taught all those who cast spells and cut roots, Armaros the release of spells, and Baraqiel astrologers, and Kokabiel portents, and Tamiel taught astrology, and Asradel taught the path of the Moon. 8.4 And, at the destruction on the Earth, men cried out, and their voices reached Heaven.


Even the tradition of an oath with a curse, seems to have been brought by the watchers.

6.4 And they all answered him, and said: "Let us all swear an oath, and bind one another with curses, so not to alter this plan, but to carry out this plan effectively."


Enoch is hidden, it will not be a part of the scripture, at least not before Jesus returns. For few can bear its truths.
