Plenty can be against you, but they shall not win. No matter what happens in this lifetime in this world, if you are truly walking in God's grace, even death itself cannot defeat you.

Ive always wished there were more scriptures on them. You only get tidbits from here and there. OR you find a random YouTube video before 2015 where a crazy guy in a shack goes on for 15 hours about them.

Have you read the Book of Enoch? It may not be canonical as most of us know it today, but it was quoted by Jude, 1:14-15, so there has to be some validity to it.

I have not. Ive heard of it though. Ive wanted to and I probably should sit down with it. I feel if I read it as fiction i wouldnt have an issue with it. I have some issues with the formation of the various versions of the Bible starting from the Council of Nicaea. Deep down a new book being produced gives me a gut feeling of its divinity.
I may take you up on it. Biblical fiction is often hard to find.
It's pretty far out there, pull it up on Wikipedia and you can find a decent summary of it.
For me personally, I honestly don't know, but I do know versions of it were discovered with the Dead Sea scrolls, and also alongside other collections that did become cannon.
But as I said, it was definitely quoted by Jude, so there does have to be SOME legitimacy to it.
