The Book of Enoch Banned from The Bible Tells the True Story of Humanity
Ready to uncover the truth? Sick of the lies? Join our Telegram Channel now. It’s time for the real story! Stay informed! My gratitude to all my readers!
The Discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls
Though they did not know it at that moment, these teenagers had made a historic discovery. Inside the jars were a series of ancient scrolls. In the years that followed this discovery, archaeologists, historians, and treasure hunters would find additional scroll fragments in ten other caves in the area, their composition forming some 800 to 900 manuscripts collectively known as the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Among these manuscripts were large portions of a mysterious non-canonical religious text which had long been forgotten. It was called the Book of Enoch.
In its entirety, The Book of Enoch is made up of five books – The Book of Watchers, Book of Parables, The Astronomical Book, The Dream Visions, and The Epistles of Enoch – containing some 100 chapters. These chapters tell the story of the 7th patriarch in the Book of Genesis – Enoch, the father of Methuselah and grandfather of Noah, the same Noah in the biblical story of Noah’s Ark.
Yet, this was not the biblical story of Noah’s Ark. In fact, the Book of Enoch provides an entirely different recounting of the events leading up to the Great Flood of Noah’s time, that is, a completely different doctrinal history.
The Story of the Book of Enoch
It tells a story of the Watchers, explained in biblical terms to be fallen angels, sent to earth to watch over humans at some undefined and ancient point in time. Unfortunately, far from merely watching humans, these Watchers became infatuated by human women, and in short order, began to engage in depraved sexual acts with them. The Book of Enoch tells of the children born through this interbreeding between Watchers and humans, called the Nephilim. These Nephilim were as described:
“giants and savages that endangered and pillaged humanity,” or, said another way, “supernatural, man-eating giants.”
Angered with what the Watchers had done, those described as gods chained them in a subterranean prison deep within the earth. Enoch became the go-between gods and imprisoned Watchers.
The Book describes Enoch’s journeys between heaven and earth in his role as an intermediary, how he
“flew with the angels and saw the rivers and mountains and the very ends of the earth from above.”
Yet, despite Enoch’s intervention, the gods decided the atrocity that the earth had become must be punished. Of course, the punishment would be a great flood. This flood would destroy the Nephilim and cement the Watchers in their prison. Beforehand, however, Enoch would be whisked away to heaven in a fiery chariot.
Interestingly, the Book of Genesis, which tells of the Great Flood in Abrahamic traditions, references the Nephilim in Chapter 6, describing “heroes that were of old, warriors of renown.” This is not the only place in biblical canon which the Nephilim appear. In Numbers 13:32-33, the Israelites visit a land inhabited by Nephilim, who are so large they make the Israelites look like “grasshoppers.”
Of course, many things in the Bible are seen in modern times as allegorical, that is, more philosophical myth than historical record. There is archaeological evidence of a great flood in the earth’s past, one, incidentally, also spoken about in countless religious and cultural traditions across the world. Had beings like Nephilim giants actually existed, surely there would be similar evidence?
What if there is?
Evidence of the Nephilim giants
This is not a phenomenon confined to the United States. Similarly, enormous skeletons have been found in the Amazon Rainforest, Africa, and elsewhere. In fact, stories of giants permeate human history and tradition. The famed explorer Marco Polo once wrote of a race of giants in Zanzibar who were “so strong they can carry as many as four ordinary men,” while the people of modern-day Tangier, Morocco once claimed their city’s founder was a giant named Antaeus.
According to Irish myth, the so-called Giant’s Causeway off the northeast coast of Ireland, an astonishing 40,000 interlocking columns of rock, was built by the Irish giant Finn McCool so that he could walk across the sea to Scotland to fight another giant. Further, stories of giants dot Norse legends and ancient Greek mythology.

Perhaps if giants did exist, as these records across countless cultures suggest, then the Book of Enoch is less allegorical than it might originally appear, less fantastical myth and more grounded in actual history.
It is interesting to note that for centuries, the Book of Enoch was an important part of both Christian and Jewish religious traditions. Many, if not most, sects accepted the book as scripture. Further, some have even suggested that the Book of Enoch was the inspiration for the Book of Genesis, due to their many parallels and overlapping stories.
The question is thus, what happened?
Why is the Book of Enoch censored from the Bible?
To answer this, we must go back to the early centuries after the death of Jesus Christ. Far from the rigid canon of 39 Old Testament and 27 New Testament books that we know as the Bible today, originally, there were numerous gospels and religious texts which made up the broad spectrum of Christian tradition.
As the Christian religion grew after the death of Jesus, the burgeoning Christian church needed to know which texts should be read and followed, which teachings should be applied, which texts would be deemed as acceptable and divinely inspired. The church needed, out of diversity, to create uniformity; they needed an official canon.
In a story popularized in modern times by Dan Brown’s seminal work The Da Vinci Code, this canonization is remembered as happening, somewhat nefariously, at the Council of Nicea in the 4th century. There, according to the story, Emperor Constantine and other high-ranking church authorities shaped the Christian canon to conform to their own secret agenda. Unfortunately, this is not historically accurate. The Council of Nicea did not determine the official Christian canon. Don’t blame Dan Brown; the famed philosopher Voltaire made a similar assertion in the 1700s.
But while the story may not be factually accurate, it is accurate in a sense. High ranking members of the church certainly did pick and choose what to include in the official biblical canon; they argued, pulled strings, cast their opponents as heretics, and almost certainly sought to expand their own power. It just didn’t take place at a single council, but rather, as a much longer process between the 1st and 4th centuries. It is generally understood that by the end of the 4th century, the process was complete, and the Bible was officially set … without the Book of Enoch.
How could something as influential, if not vital, as the Book of Enoch be left out? To answer this question, one might examine other gospels which were also censored from the final product.
Consider the Gospel of Peter, a fragment of which was found in Egypt in 1886, which tells the long-missing story of a resurrected Jesus leaving his tomb, and features two gigantic angels and a floating cross that talks –
“And they heard a voice from the heavens, saying, ‘Thou hast preached to them that sleep.’ And a response was heard from the cross, ‘Yea.’”
Or, consider the Gospel of Mary, that notorious work in which Mary Magdalene is named not only as one of Jesus’ disciples, but his favorite one, perhaps even his wife. Within this gospel, the disciple Peter asks why he and the other disciples should listen to Mary, a woman, to which Matthew responds, “if the Savior made her worthy, who are you then, for your part, to cast her aside? Surely the Savior knows her full well. That is why he has loved her more than us.”
Like the Book of Enoch, these gospels tell extraordinary and history-challenging stories. Perhaps then, it should be no surprise that these texts were censored out by early powerbrokers of the official Christian canon.
Who is Enoch in the Bible?
It stands to reason that the Book of Enoch may have been totally forgotten if not for its survival in small orthodox sects of Ethiopian Jews. In fact, the only pre-modern version of the text was written in Ge’ez, an ancient African language. It was this version which Richard Laurence, the Archbishop of Cashel, used in 1821 to produce the first ever English translation of the book, the version used to inform study of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Curiously, though the Book of Enoch was omitted from the established Christian canon and subsequently forgotten in all but the most obscure corners of religious tradition and theological study, the Bible does contain numerous references to it. There are references to the Nephilim in Genesis and Numbers. Genesis also contains an extensive recounting of Enoch’s lineage.
The Book of Hebrews describes how “God had taken [Enoch] away,” seemingly a reference to his being taken to heaven via fiery chariot before the Great Flood. Jude, meanwhile, contains an entire paragraph transcribed almost word-for-word from Enoch, suggesting that the Book may, in fact, have served as an early inspiration for canonical biblical texts.
Further, Corinthians 11:5-6 contains instructions from St. Paul that women should cover their heads while in church. This, seemingly a direct reference to the fact that the Watchers in the Book of Enoch were attracted to women with long flowing hair. This is a practice which remains in Roman Catholicism and Islam to this day.
Though it was censored, even forgotten, the Book of Enoch never truly disappeared.
There is something deeper behind the Book of Enoch and its incredible stories, something which goes beyond simply whether or not it is part of the Christian canon.
It has been pointed out that Enoch, the 7th patriarch of the Bible, seems to reflect the 7th antediluvian king, Enmenduranna, in Babylonian tradition. The ancient Greeks believed Enoch to be the same as the god Hermes, while ancient Egyptians had someone similar in their own tradition. The examples could continue, and so it must be asked: Why does Enoch, no matter his name, keep appearing in the traditions of the ancients?
The answer may go back further than the Greeks, Egyptians, or even the Babylonians, back to the ancient Sumerians.
The Anunnaki – Those Who Came from the Heaven
According to Sumerian texts, earth was visited by a group of supernatural beings sometime in the distant past. These visitors are described in Sumerian tradition in a way that is eerily similar to descriptions of the Watchers in the Book of Enoch. Instead of Watchers, however, Sumerians called these beings the Anunnaki, which literally means – “those who came from the heavens”. They were gods, to the Sumerians; to modern thinkers like Zecharia Sitchin and Erich von Däniken, they were an ancient race of aliens who came to earth.
Interestingly, Sumerian texts tell stories of these Anunnaki, much like the Watchers, beginning to interbreed with human beings, creating an entirely new species in the process, reflecting the creation of the Nephilim. Like the gods of the Book of Enoch, the Anunnaki became angered with the condition of the earth and brought about a great flood.
Is it possible the Book of Enoch, as well as other related traditions, are simply retelling the older Sumerian story of the Anunnaki?
The Unexplained Rapid Human Evolution
Consider the Agricultural Revolution, which began around 10,000 BCE, during which time human beings transitioned from a lifestyle of hunting and gathering to one of agriculture and settlement. According to historical record, as early as 9500 BCE, in what is now modern Kurdistan, barley, wheat, and rye were being cultivated; oats, peas, and lentils were being grown, while goats and sheep were domesticated. Some 500 years after that, copper and lead smelting were taking place in the region, alongside weaving and pottery making. Additionally, this ancient Kurdish culture was the first to develop a script, standing as one of humanity’s earliest literate societies.
Some have asked how human beings could have made this jump so fast. Interestingly, the Kurdish people claim to be the descendants of the “Children of the Djinn” – the Children of Spirits. Is this an ancient cultural reference to the procreation between Anunnaki and human women?
According to the Sumerians, it was the Anunnaki who brought advanced knowledge and technology to human beings, lending a helping hand, as it were, to the progression of human civilization. Many have suggested that this explains seemingly impossible monuments like the pyramids of Giza or Teotihuacan, those ancient monuments of “extraordinary sophistication which is completely unexplained by the cultural and social circumstances of historical record.” Perhaps this also explains how human beings were able to transition from nomadic hunter-gatherers to sophisticated civilizations in a historically insignificant amount of time.
The Correlation between the Book of Enoch and the Anunnaki Story
The Book of Enoch 8:1–3a reads, “And Azazel taught men to make swords and knives and shields and breastplates; and made known to them the metals [of the earth] and the art of working them; and bracelets and ornaments; and the use of antimony and the beautifying of the eyelids; and all kinds of costly stones and all coloring tinctures. And there arose much godlessness, and they committed fornication, and they were led astray and became corrupt in all their ways.”
Was the Book of Enoch, in this way, merely reflecting and retelling the story of the Anunnaki?
It is interesting that the most common example given of something “completely unexplained by the cultural and social circumstances of historical record,” that is to say, something the Anunnaki must surely have helped ancient humans with, are the Egyptian pyramids. According to the ancient Arabian historian Al-Maqrizi, these pyramids were built by a king named Saurid, who lived before the Great Flood. Incidentally, Saurid translated into Hebrew, is Enoch.
Wisdom: Eight Biblical Herbs, One Supplement, A LifeTime Of Wellness and Grace
Consider elsewhere in the Book of Enoch, in a chapter in which Enoch bears witness to “the secrets of the lightnings” and “the secrets of the thunder.” Some have suggested, this chapter is meant to illuminate the riddles of energy and electricity. Again, this relates directly to the Anunnaki, who many believe have been trying to reveal similar secrets to human beings through crop circles for some time. In our latest video, called Crop Circles Contain Blueprints for Free Energy Devices, we talked how in only the past few decades, crop circles have appeared across the world detailing complex mathematical equations, magnetic diagrams and motors, mechanical routers and the field lines of an electrical charge, the work, according to some, of the Anunnaki.
In fact, consider Enoch’s description of his journey to meet the gods while keeping in mind the UFO sightings which often accompany and compliment these crop circles:
“I was taken to a kind of floating palace,” Enoch said. “It was huge, like carved glass. The floor had glass plates. Through the floor you could see the stars we were crossing.”
With this in mind, one might wonder if the ‘fiery chariot’ which took Enoch away before the Great Flood was not in fact, an alien spacecraft.
Adam and Eve and the Garden of Eden
It may seem hard to believe that stories as mind-blowing as these, of Watchers and Anunnaki and Nephilim giants, stories which permeated ancient cultures for thousands of years, should be largely forgotten, the Sumerians largely erased from the pantheon of ancient civilizations, the Book of Enoch censored from biblical canon. However, given the way these stories fundamentally reshape human history and redefine what human beings are, their exclusion is perhaps no surprise.
Yet, maybe these stories were not, in fact, totally erased.
Consider the well-known biblical story of Adam and Eve and the Garden of Eden. Read it not literally, nor philosophically, but as an allegory. Read it metaphorically. God creates Adam to watch over the earth, much as the gods send the Watchers to do in the Book of Enoch. From Adam’s rib, god creates Eve; Adam and Eve procreate, representing the interbreeding between the Watchers and human females. Adam and Eve are told they can eat anything they want in the Garden of Eden, except fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
Divine Dialogue: Mysterious Secret Phrase UNLOCKS the Power to Have Every Prayer Answered Instantly!
Of course, they do eat from the tree of knowledge, representative of the Watchers bringing advanced technology and knowledge to human beings, which perhaps they were not mentally evolved enough to handle. Just as eating from the tree of knowledge provided Adam and Eve with the knowledge of God, so too did the book of Enoch describe how the Watchers “revealed the eternal secrets which were preserved for heaven, which men were striving to learn.” Reading the story of Adam and Eve this way, it is easy to see the parallels between it and the Book of Enoch.
And perhaps that is just the point.
Perhaps the people who wrote the story of Adam and Eve were simply retelling the stories in the Book of Enoch in their own way, retelling the Sumerian story of the Anunnaki, as so many across religions and cultures had before them, inserting this crucial piece of human history allegorically into their own religious canon, so these ancient records could continue to exist.
What is human history? Is it that which is understood through officially sanctioned history books? Or is it something deeper, something more incredible, if, perhaps, forgotten? Maybe the answer has been hiding in plain sight the whole time.

All of you smart folks out there need to look inside your Bible and see who’s name is inside the old Bible and wonder why the United Kingdom British governments name is in it!!!
Do people believe that the Marxists infiltrated our universities and just missed the seminaries on their march through our institutions? The Deep Church is as real as the Deep State. The Word of God is true but open to interpretation and I believe they taught an intentional misinterpretation of scripture – especially End Times and the timeline of events to distract, disarm and neutralize the Body of Christ for the very spiritual war that we are in right now! Some pastors are complicit, but most are just naive.
The earliest followers of Jesus called the THE WAY, because Jesus said “I am the way, the truth and the life”… God sent Jesus to tell us that He loves us and show us how He wants us to live. It was a WAY OF LIFE, not a religion. I think when they started being called Christians and given that identity the religious spirits slipped in and it became more about Doctrines of Men that divided the Body of Christ into the 40,000 denominations that exist today. Christianity became a religion, legalistic like the all the rest – a human creation with their buildings and their rules, about money and power like any other human organization.
When Jesus said “On this rock I will build my church” it was not on Peter – it was the TRUTH that Peter spoke that He was the Son of God – and the church He wanted to build was not a structure or an institution, but the Body of Christ throughout the earth!
How many churches today actually teach their congregations how to live by faith? How many do more than give lip service to the armor of God, but actually teach people who to wage war in the spirit realm? Because that’s what we need right now – SPIRITUAL WARRIORS to fight the principalities, powers, and rulers of the darkness of this world, and against spiritual wickedness in high places… because THAT IS THE ENEMY we are fighting right now. This globalist satanic cult that is the New World Order and the Deep State who have robbed us blind for generations and prey on our children and grandchildren.
I think God is calling us out of religion and the doctrines of men to unite the Body of Christ around the simplicity of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and wage war – because this war will be followed by the greatest global revival that humanity has ever seen!!
I think God has a few surprises for everyone who holds to the orthodox teaching of End Times. I don’t think it is going to play out the way we have been taught that it will!
Capelady, this describes my thoughts precisely. No question that this is a spiritual war and who is called to act… (Hint: all of humanity because it is all of of us who are the chosen people.)
For clarity… Capelady is not referring to ALL PEOPLE being God’s chosen people; she is identifying with those predestined into the Kingdom… Ephesians 1:5 and Romans 8:29… who are playing and tampering with the living word, over-complicating a simple message as found in the Protestant Holy Bible of 66 books only, nothing added, nothing taken away; denominations are a curse from the devil to destroy the truth from inside out (fulfillment of Gal 5:15)… just as the book of mormon, or the NWT JW’s bible… and all of man’s religions of the devil.
And Luke 16:19-31, the only piece of inerrant infallible text known to man that identifies that there are only two exits from this world following our last breath, and it’s a matter of a decision to end up on the right or wrong side of the Chasm.
Much of what you are saying is found on a message I believe to be of God, shown under the VISION link at Jesus Christ Living God . com (no spaces – otherwise with no links allowed, must wait permission to post this comment) … You can also click on my name also to go to site I believe!
PS: God called me away from Orthodox study for that very reason; all sectors of life and business were infiltrated by the same monsters behind the devils PlanDemic, seminaries included… and my professor, from a renowned Baptist University, was teaching Jesus did not turn water into wine but grape juice… a blatant lie of the devil, contrary to the living word; just saying, not judging!
Blessings!
Sharon, you are so far from knowing me, but sadly typical of Christians not reading and knowing ALL OF GOD’S WORD, let alone reading an entire comment, all of my comment, and not enough to start saying that I am deceived by satan; and you’re boasting no Rapture, and barking the dead horse of Saturday Sabbath, obedience to the Law, not Grace for which Jesus came to return to us, replacing the Sabbath rest with His rest, Matthew 11:28…
I am so anti-denominational, and know very well the satanic deception of denominational hogwash, not to mention you yourself being deceived on the two points alone I mention.
Sad, truly, sad… and as for holding on to the Sabbath, fill your boots, I have many 7 Day Adventists who are wonderful people, we agree to disagree but when we blatantly miss the Rapture…
The word rapture does not occur in the Bible. The term comes from a Latin word meaning “a carrying off, a transport, or a snatching away.” The concept of the “carrying off” or the rapture
The rapture of the church is the event in which God “snatches away” all believers from the earth in order to make way for His righteous judgment to be poured out on the earth during the tribulation period. The rapture is described primarily in 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18 and 1 Corinthians 15:50–54.
I encourage you to do your scriptural homework according to ALL OF GOD’S WORD not pieces taught under any man, including Armstrong… no different than Ellen G White behind 7-day Adventists…and do so before giving more lectures on sites like this.
Blessings…thank you Jesus
Pastor Kevin, you have been deceived by satan as have so many other so-called christian denominations around the world. Jesus Christ built His church and His True Church is a ‘little flock’ not all these denominations that men have built! Christ is working through only one church today not the catholic, the lutheran, the methodist, the presbyterian, the episcopalian or any other church of christ, or any other church of god, of any brethren church. All these different denominations came out ofthe vatican roman catholic church which is destroyed in Revelations as: Mystery Babylon the Great, mother of harlots and all abominations of this earth! There will be no rapture as you seem to be describing. Only God’s ‘very elect’ who follow the true Sabbath (Saturday) not Sunday, only those who follow God’s true Holy days: Passover, Days of Unleavened Bread, Day of Atonement (at one ment), Feast of Trumpets, Feast of Tabernacles. Christ ordered his apostles to keep His Passover NOT His resurrection! And it is only to be done in the spring and only once a year, as opposed to those in these churches following Ash Wednesday, Lent, which are ALL PAGAN! Read what Paul says in Romans 2, the last few verses. We are to have a circumcision of the heart; We who follow Christ, the Son of God, His Father (remember: there were 2 Gods from the beginning. Read the first few verses in John. God is not a trinity! We are to become ‘SPIRITUAL JEWS’. Judah is the Sceptor Nation. The country in the middle east is NOT Biblical Israel! It is JUDAH! Isreal went into captivity in the 700s BCD and NEVER RETURNED. JUDAH went into captivity about 150 years later by Babylon but they returned 70 years later. King Cyrus brought them back to Jerusalem. People are being brainwashed by what Christ called them: false Christs! We are in the ‘latter days’ when God’s Truth about all these different churches following basically the catholic church. Christ came to PROCLAIM THE FATHER AND SPEAK ABOUT THE COMING KINGDOM OF GOD TO THIS EARTH! These denominations today do not understand at all. They speak about Jesus the person but do not explain why He came. It was to DECLARE THE FATHER. He said He could do nothing without His Father’s help! God is a family. Paul spoke about Christ being the first of the first fruits! God wants a family of perfect spirit beings. That’s why the human family is so important. Satan has deceived the whole world. Herbert W. Armstrong brought in the sixth era of the church, spoken of in Revelations, Philadelphia. All these things were to be understood in that sixth era of God’s true church, which began with Epheses. We are in the Laodicean era or luke warm church today. Daniel’s end-time prophecies are happening NOW. God is opening some people’s eyes to His Truth now, but others need to go back and read their Bibles again. Israel is not Judah. The descendants of Israel today are the U.S. and Great Britain. Read how Ephraim and Manasseh were blessed. The blessing was for a much later time and for two countries in the north and west far from the middle east. The rapture is untrue and something so man believe but it is for ‘God’s very elect’ so with everything going wrong and Germany rising again along with Russia and China and Iran, we all need to get on our knees and repent of our sins. Great Tribulation will come and there is NO RAPTURE. God takes His very elect to a safe place. May God have mercy on those who do not understand this. May God protect those who think deeply about all His Commandments and especially God’ true Sabbath Day (Saturday the 7th day of the week).
“Consider elsewhere in the Book of Enoch, in a chapter in which Enoch bears witness to “the secrets of the lightnings” and “the secrets of the thunder.”
Perhaps one of the secrets was how to use anti gravity technology and convert it to useful knowledge?
Read years ago, about people flying on some kind of craft , also, read of 13, think it was, crystal skulls….one of which contained great power. All of these things were hidden in deep forests of South America……local native people guarded an ancient city. They were extremely protective of it. They did bring one of the skulls out…….like the best and most powerful . It was indeed , incredible…….like nothing we have today.
Again, many people today do not believe the Holy Bible as the written word of Jesus Christ, who was the Word with God from the beginning. Neither had a beginning and neither have an ending. It doesn’t matter wht you are saying in this article. We need to focus on God the Father and the Word, who became and is Jesus Christ. The planets above the earth are not inhabited by ALIENS. The Vatican Roman Catholic Church is satan’s FALSE church! There is only one church Jesus Christ is working through today, that knows prophecies which will soon come to pass. Man’s holidays of Christmas, Easter and others are PAGAN! The Christmas tree people put up goes back to Babylon and even some of the ancient Israelites put up these trees and decked them with gold and silver, worshipping other gods like Baal, Moloch. People need to understand their Bibles better and not believe this nonsense you are promoting. May God have mercy on us all! Great Tribulation is coming because of our sins if we do not repent of them all. Christ is coming back to this earth to rule mankind because man doesn’t know how to rule righteously.
Amen sister … well said … thank you for defending the only inerrant and infallible living word of the Protestant Holy Bible of 66 books only … nothing added and nothing taken away.
Just as an added note for clarity … the Christian, you and I, will not be part of the Great Tribulation … not until the very end, when we return with Jesus to remove the balance of evil refusing to bow to Him as Lord & Savior; we Christians are removed during the Rapture … all living and dead.
Additionally, at salvation, all our sin, past, current, and future are forgiven, never to be remembered again, just as we forgive those who have sinned against us, never to be remembered again, in order for God to forgive us and our sin.

There are no “lost books” of the Bible, or books that were taken out of the Bible, or books missing from the Bible. Every book that God intended to be in the Bible is in the Bible. There are many legends and rumors of lost books of the Bible, but the books were not, in fact, lost. Rather, they were rejected. There are literally hundreds of religious books that were written in the same time period as the books of the Bible. Some of these books contain true accounts of things that actually occurred (1 Maccabees, for example). Others contain some good spiritual teaching (the Wisdom of Solomon, for example). However, these books are not inspired by God. If we read any of these books, such as the Apocryphal ones mentioned above, we have to treat them as fallible religious/historical books, not as the inspired, inerrant Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
The gospel of Thomas, for example, was a forgery written in the 3rd or 4th century A.D., claiming to have been written by the apostle Thomas. It was not written by Thomas. The early Christians almost universally rejected the gospel of Thomas as heretical. It contains many false and heretical things that Jesus supposedly said and did. None of it (or at best very little of it) is true. For example, the Gospel of Thomas has Jesus saying nonsensical things like “Blessed is the lion that a person will eat, and the lion will become human” (Saying 7), and “Every woman who makes herself male will enter into the kingdom of heaven” (Saying 114).
The gospel of Barnabas was not written by the biblical Barnabas, but by an imposter. The same can be said of the gospel of Philip, the apocalypse of Peter, etc. All of these books, and the many others like them, are pseudepigraphal, essentially meaning “ascribed to a false author.”
There is one God. The Bible has one Creator. It is one book. It has one plan of grace, recorded from initiation, through execution, to consummation. From predestination to glorification, the Bible is the story of God redeeming His chosen people for the praise of His glory. As God’s redemptive purposes and plan unfold in Scripture, the recurring themes constantly emphasized are the character of God, the judgment for sin and disobedience, the blessing for faith and obedience, the Lord and Savior and His sacrifice for sin, and the coming kingdom and glory. It is God’s intention that we know and understand these themes because our lives and eternal destinies depend upon them. It is therefore unthinkable that God would allow some of this vital information to be “lost” in any way. The Bible is complete, in order that we who read and understand it might also be “complete, and equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
PS: For anyone who may read this comment … the devil is good … real good … at deception with the likes of anything and everything BUT THE INERRANT AND INFALLIBLE LIVING WORD of JESUS CHRIST LIVING GOD … latter being his only enemy *** while promoting his innumerable fake gods (man-made-religions), including the likes of the moon-god allah … hundreds of buddha’s … or 33K gods of Hinduism … or countless Greek gods & goddesses … twisted denominational doctrine … mormon this, Jehovah’s Witness that, scientology, blah, blah, blah that come with satans smorgasbord of distractions WITH ZERO to support anything they claim.
Interested in seeing an actual visual of what the world is actually up against, visit One Truth Many Lies dot com (not spaces) and read A TREE IS IDENTIFIED BY ITS FRUIT … on opening page.
Seek truth … stop being gullible and grasping at straws of hoky-poky … because you never know when your last breath will be snuffed out FOR EVER … ending up on the WRONG SIDE OF THE CHASM … conscious of your whereabouts BUT NOTHING YOU CAN DO to change it … unable to warn those left behind … JUST genuinely SAYING! (Luke 16:19-31)
Anyone who believes that books were left out of the Bible clearly does not believe that God is all-powerful and that He is more than able to control what was retained in the scriptures, and it doesn’t matter who made those decisions.
My GOD is bigger than that!
The suggestion that Jesus might have been married tells me where these people are coming from. Do they know WHO GOD IS and what Jesus was here for?
And have they ever considered that what they have attributed to extraterrestrials may actually have been interdimensional activity as we saw throughout the Old Testament with theophanies, foreshadowing the incarnation of Jesus Christ.
What amazes me is that few people actually read the scriptures that we have and even fewer are able to live up to them… but they want more?
It seems to me that most of the people who support this line of thinking have New Age beliefs that are not supported by scripture, and they think these missing books will validate their belief system.
Did you know that King James was an a atheist? And did you know that e enlisted the help of the Vatican to translate the Bible into English? I am saying that God blessed us with the Holy Spirit’s guidance within our current texts. We all have much to learn. Absolutely, one God. And Jesus Christ is our God given son of God.
He created our world. He gave us salvation eternally. We are blessed . But, of what we know, There is a bigger battle than just for our souls here. Satan hasn’t completely lost yet. We know that. God Never loses. Please pray about these things. I will not respond to any further input. This is what I have learned and I love my God YHWH, My savior Jesus Christ, Yashua and The Holy Spirit. There is more at stake than we know or have been enlightened with.
Very good read. Thank you
