[CS-FSLUG] The Book of Enoch - Seven's question.

[Chad Fluegge]

Hate to jump in here, but I couldn't resist pointing this out...

The link that you posted, steven, gives the date to be the 1st century BC,
or 1st century AD...perhaps you forgot that the years were counted backwards
in the times before Christ? Therefore, the 1st century BC, would have been
the last 100 years before Christ's coming...a long time after the last book
of the OT was written.

respectfully,
chad

Ezra 7:10 For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of the LORD, and
to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and judgments.
