I personally treat the Book of Enoch as biblical canon, but I feel as if I'm alone in this belief. Is there anyone else who ascribes and reads many of the taboo Orthodox and Tahawedo lost books?
Blackflag:
So you don't consider it to be part of the Apocrypha?
Dassault Papillon:
I do, but it should also be noted that the early churches supported the study of Apocrypha. It is the Roman Catholic Church that ended the practice, and the Byzantine Patriarchy which kept it going. I feel a lot of the bible was politicized within the Church's Interests, rather than what was canonical or not, The majority of works in Apocrypha can be traced with validity to their reliable sources, it is the statements made contrasted to statements present that led to the omission by the Roman Catholic Church.
Although I'm a heavy protestant, I'm starting to turn to Orthodoxy for my religious studies. Which is bordering on me being a Lutheran...
