Hi Elaine....I'm so glad you came to the same conclusion about the Book of Enoch that I have.  It only adds to the knowledge the bible gives.  Yes, it's strong, meat doctrine, but that's what makes us grow into mature followers of Jesus Christ.

It really saddened my heart today to read some of the comments by my "brothers and sisters" who have closed their minds and hearts to all that God is trying to convey to us....and instruction seems to be falling on deaf ears.

It reminds me of what God says in II Timothy 3:7..."Ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth."  He was speaking of the people in the last-days church body.  So much learning done and so little knowledge obtained.  And what knowledge that is put forth and accepted as "gospel truth" is anything but that.

For years now, since I have been a widow, I, too, have studied the bible....including the Apocryphal books! as well.  So many things become so much more clear through doing this.  Nothing of what I have read has contradicted "canon" scripture in any way.  I don't do this an hour a day, or just on Sundays.....my life has been the study of the bible and prophecy 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  At our age, sometimes sleep doesn't come easy nor last very long.  In my waking hours, I am studying and reading and taking great joy in what our Lord is teaching me.  When you absolutely KNOW what the bible says, you can't possibly be deceived!!!  Enjoy all the increased knowledge and stories that the Apocrypha brings to you....it's totally wonderful!

And again, thank you for letting me know that I reached at least one person more in my lifetime...

Prayerfully, see you on the way up, my dear "sister"...
