Actually its a very big deal. Enoch is used by people with more of a Gnostic worldview to claim the bible promotes occult ideas when it doesnt. I'm not calling you a gnostic, but people do use it for such.
Occult means hidden knowledge.
The bible is entrenched with occult ideas b/c;
1.It stemmed from a pagan/babylonian society which the occult is derived from and
2.It was manipulated by the Catholic "Church" and Rome who integrated the occult into Christianity.
Just observe the holidays on your calendar (so-called Christian holidays)-all pagan...Easter to celebrate Ishtar, the fertility goddess, not the risen Christ. Christmas to commemorate Nimrod, not the birth of our Saviour.
Our sabbath is on the SUNday to honor the sun god. Jews observe the true sabbath and high holy days-not Christians.
" It was Julius Caesar who adopted the Babylonian false religion and introduced it into the Roman Empire. The Emperor Constantine in the fourth century A.D. was astute enough to realize that, in order to bring unity and peace to his empire, he needed to have union between paganism and Christianity. He declared Christianity the state religion and at the same time ‘Christianized’ pagan practices. "
The hero of the occultists-Solomon, who wrote the manuscript on how to invoke demonic spirits and documented their sigils is the author of proverbs...His seal- the pentagram in the circle.
The word of God (Bible) is revealed to the reader through divine revelation and understanding through 1. The Holy Spirit (The Messinger) and 2. A personal relationship with God.
Your comment implies that I should place blind trust in an entity (The Church/so called governing authority of God's Word- or a King James Bible) who intentionally PLACED the occult WITHIN Christianity. (See Constantine/Rome).
I am a critical thinker. A Christian-AND Critical thinker.
I do not accept opinions/explanations/accounts that are offered to me just b/c-I Examine them ALL.
I study & receive knowledge through divine revelation made possible by a deep personal relationship with my creator, and a connectedness to self and the Holy Spirit.
I do NOT accept history as told by history, or school, or the church or other governing authorities.
I seek knowledge.
"To them that knock the door will be opened".
"Ppl die due to lack of knowledge".
Being a believer is EVERY part being a seeker of truth-and student of it.
gnostic's have beliefs that the church discounts. The governing authorities that chose which books of the bible would be published (The church) discounts gnostics. Im not an expert in the gnostic books but, I'm also not afraid to question the Church.
The Church is who condemned Jesus to death. The church is corrupt. The church is a Beast in Revelation.
Jesus, The rebel-Condemned the "Church"-and stated that the "True Church" is when two or more gather in His name.
(got of subject). The point is-whether u discredit gnosticism or not, is NOT the point. The point is that through believed consensus-Mr. Hermon is revered as the location that angels fell from heaven-Relevant in this thread b/c of the magic circle and mountain imagery in the set....
In closing, I request/plea/urge that this community be used teach one another-not critique/correct
The fact is Bubbajay, that someone who is not knowledgeable about the occult, or the book of Enoch, or the Bible etc. could have been lost by your narcissistic and selfish need to "fact check".
The fact check was not as important as the OVERALL MESSAGE.
Whether Mt. Hermon was mentioned in the Bible or the book of Enoch DID NOT MATTER. Connecting the symbolism and imagery DID.
I come on this site to learn-and spread knowledge.
plz B more self aware-and stop inhibiting that process for others
