My question for Timothy Alberino: You acknowledge that the Ethiopic text that we have identifies Enoch as the Son of Man. So, are you claiming that the Book of Enoch, as we have it today, should be regarded as inspired? Or are you suggesting that some hypothetical version of the Book of Enoch—one for which we have no evidence—should be considered inspired? If it’s the former, then why argue that a book which you admit blatantly teaches a false Messiah should be considered inspired Scripture? And if it’s the latter, how do you justify promoting a hypothetical version of the Book of Enoch that we don’t even know exists as something that should be considered inspired? Is this like a Joseph Smith and the golden plates kinda thing? I really want to know which “Book of Enoch” you are pushing here, and how you deal with this problem. Looking forward to your response!
