Yikcigmij, it is not man that can determine what is sacred: the only sources that can be trusted are for this are God and the servants that he has sent. I have a testamony of the truth of this for God has revealed it to me by the Holy Ghost. But do not take my word on it. Pray. The Lord can reveal anything whenever someone truly has faith. Take the test of faith. Tell me, dost not this makes your heart burn within you. Does this give you a testamony. If not, I suggest that you are too hardhearted and devoid of the spirit of God to feel this still small voice of that sacred spirit of revelation.
On another note, may I ask, which Book of Enoch do you have. I'm just curious. I particuliarly like the Greek version. The most common, ands most well known is the Ethiopic one. The smallest fragments belong to the Hebrew books of Enoch.
Some other good sources I like are Dead Sea Scrolls, and the Nag Hammadi Documents.
As for the other sources that you mention, I do not immiediatly discount the pagan refferences. Even a pagan can tell the truth. The search for truth should not end just because the source isn't of your faith. I happen to study all religions. No matter where I search I see truth. It is not necessarily all true, but thats why you must rely on the Spirit of God to see them rather than rely on your own wisdom. Even an evil man can teach us somethging useful, if only to live diferently than him.
