Apocryphal books...

[GunMetal832]

Hey everyone! I have a question for you all. I've always loved to find hidden gems in Gods word. I've been reading the apocrypha books lately. I have a catholic NAB with their accepted books. Has anyone read the book of jubilees, or Enoch, or 2 Esdras? They all seem to have a ET view. I can't help but think there were/are more books. The Bible itself references them. The book of jasher for example. Anyone really studied these in depth and found any UR related support?  :banana:

I've read some.. but find I wouldn't like to quote from them because there's other strange things in the apocrapha and also in other extra biblical writings like Enoch, etc.. But, they were likely written by christians of the 2nd century or so.. some later? (And you know how easily humans err.) But still written early on.. so they likely do show UR was "the" original Christian belief. :thumbsup:

Ienjoythem......2Esdras..ifnotdividedright[two=edgesof the'word']and appliedrightly..seems to condemn men eternally/just as many

notdividing the scriptures right cast mankind into eternaltorment/destruction.

   wemust alwaysremember...nottojudge untilthe proper time...as the man of sin/lawlessness must berevealed[satan and his negative

contrast evil spirits]before we can discern the difference between the spiritsof just[ified] menfrom the wicked.

    the mystery of godliness[let us make man in our image[spirit] andgodlessness...carnal/dust..spirit of prince of this world.

  Ilike Enoch whereMicahel..speakingof Azazaels judgement..speaks of neither man nor angel willpartakeof that judgement.....Man

  glorified/perfected islike the angels/thechildrenof God.so....yes, there is light inthem..but the Holy spiritmust reveal and lead you

in to it. And many are confused enoughtwith the 66 books. :2c:

  in Esdras 2I believe  Uriel is revealing what we are expierencingnow...dragonsof Arabiagoing forth.....carmonians[swine flesh/boars

=men possessed of legions of evil spirits..going forth in demonic inspired madness[ etc.]  HEWHOBRINGS THE PERIL OF THAT TIME

WILLKEEP US THROUGH IT.
