If a Christian rejects the book of Enoch do they by default reject Jude?

Jud 1:14 And Enoch, the seventh from Adam, also prophesied to these, saying, Behold, the Lord came with myriads of His saints,

Jud 1:15 to do judgment against all, and to rebuke all the ungodly of them concerning all their ungodly works which they ungodly did, and concerning all the hard things ungodly sinners spoke against Him.If a Christian rejects the book of Enoch do they by default reject Jude?
Yes. If you reject any part of Scripture you reject it all. Its all or nothing. Take care.



Edit: The book of Enoch is only considered non canonical by certain Protestants who have, in the past 500 years, removed numerous books from the Bible. The Church has always considered it canonical and always will.



It's all or nothing. Cafeteria Christians who pick and choose what they want to believe are not humble and obedient to Christ and His Church. We Christians must have faith in God and not lean on our own understanding.



Anyone who rejects Enoch does reject Jude and the rest of Sacred Scripture. We are not to remove or change anything in Scripture. And if a person reads Enoch they can clearly see it is inspired by God. There is nothing wrong about it. Take care.
To say this is to assume that all Christians who accept the Bible of cannon as the infallible Word of the Lord, by default, reject Jude. This leaves an incomplete cycle: if you reject Jude then you cannot subscribe to the belief that the bible of cannon is the infallible Word of the Lord, which is almost universal in most "popular" western christian denomination's statement of beliefs.If a Christian rejects the book of Enoch do they by default reject Jude?
I'm with L Tacianus!



It's like this - I completely trust in Father God to have assembled His eternal Wrord precisely according to His specifications using holy men of God as His eyes and hands.



Does that mean that the Holy Bible as it stands is perfect by man's standards? Not necessarily. But it is acceptable by God's standards!



Big difference!



Isa 55:10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:





Isa 55:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper [in the thing] whereto I sent it.
No. The book of Enoch is considered non-canonical but the mention of the story in Jude does not make Jude wrong.If a Christian rejects the book of Enoch do they by default reject Jude?
I prefer the book of Leviathan.
This is the only reference to one of the apocryphal books!
no

only that one passage is considered inspired, not the whole book
Who knows why?
