the most important, truthful Bible is Tewahedo ! Yes the Ethiopian Bible has way more books in it !! ๐ .. It has 81 books, way more than King James, or King Henry the VIII . TEWAHEDO has the Book of Enoch, which has true, correct account of aliens giving a ride to Enoch.

@moonbus saidyou are right..the good reason is the Pope wanted to keep his cushy job !! ๐ .
@mlb62
Yeah, there was probably a good reason why the Ecumenical Council of Nicea did not canonize every scroll circulating around the Mediterranean and the Middle East at the time.
If the truth was told, everyone would know most of the "spiritual" /religious beliefs derived from alien visits !!

@mlb62 saidThe Book of Enoch, also known as 1 Enoch, is a collection of ancient Jewish texts that are thought to have been written between 300–200 BC and 100 BC. The book is traditionally attributed to Enoch, the biblical patriarch who was Noah's great-grandfather and Methuselah's father. However, scholars don't believe that Enoch actually wrote the book, which is considered a pseudepigraphal work, meaning it has unknown authors who falsely attributed the work to a famous person to make it seem more credible.

The book is made up of several separate works, including apocalyptic texts, and some parts may have been influenced by the Essene community of Jews at Qumrฤn. For example, the fifth treatise, chapters 91–107, may have been written in the late 1st century BCE and shows similarities to other Dead Sea Scrolls documents and Jesus' biblical teachings. Another theory is that a Jewish Christian in the 2nd century AD added his own eschatological speculations to four older Enoch writings.
The book is divided into five sections:
Sections 1–36: Enoch judges the angels who had relations with the daughters of men
Sections 37–71: Enoch's translation into heaven is told
Chapters 91–107: Enoch gives a speech of moral caution
The book is accepted as canonical by the Coptic Church in Ethiopia and the Eritrean Orthodox Church. The only complete version of the book that exists today is an Ethiopic translation of a Greek translation that was made in Palestine from the original Hebrew or Aramaic.
The author of the Book of Enoch is credited as being Enoch, son of Jared. However, this book was written many, many, many years after Enoch was taken to Heaven so we know he wasn't the author. Because we have no idea who actually wrote them, the books of Enoch are called pseudepigrapha.

@mlb62 saidSelecting the books for an approved biblical canon is a nearly impossible task, that will always leave people feeling that something important was left out. I have no opinion of the book of Enoch, the Kabbalah or other Jewish texts, though I have read parts of them. If people want to read these, they are available online or in bookstores, and frankly I found them quite interesting, but - - IMHO - adding these or other books such as those in the Ethiopian Bible will not necessarily make the approved canon "better"

“All Scripture is God-breathed … “
This was written hundreds of years before the since labelled “Holy” Bible came into existence as a collection of so called ‘authorised’ texts which were pulled together for the purpose of limiting the thinking of a proscribed laity.
Of course since then every sect, cult, denomination, era has developed their own version to further establish their own doctrines in order to drive a mindset of exclusivity, superiority and keep their particular group of followers in line.
@divegeester saidAs they say in politics, it's not the voting that matters, it's the tally. Same goes for holy scriptures: it's not the writer who matters, it's the canonisation committee.

Only the JWs create their own Bible based on their dreamed up doctrine. I guess they feel that Rev. 22:18-19 doesn't apply to them.
A personal question: Do you not adhere to the teachings of the state religion of your homeland, the Anglican Church?

@Suzianne saidThe CoE is one of the so called state demonisations of the state religion which is Christianity. Although you’d hardly think so these days.

And no, I don’t adhere to any corporate religion teachings. Except by coincidence.

Could you post the scriptures in the book of Enoch that you are referencing about Aliens please?
@Suzianne saidYes thank you. I have read the book before but I currently do not have a copy of it; that is why I was asking for the scriptures to examine them; and, So I could look them up online and study them somewhat. However, as usual, he runs and hides.

I'll just keep a lookout for his posted poo and step around it; maybe.
