Should We Consider the Book of Enoch Canonical?

Mike: I often get this question Mike you know should we consider the book of Enoch canonical that's usually the way it's cast because people like Enoch. The short answer is no we don't need to consider Enoch canonical because it's used in the New Testament anymore than we would consider the bail cycle canonical, he says. These sources were used because they helped a biblical writer old or New Testament articulate something they wanted to articulate well and if drawing on some source like this helped they did it because they were familiar with the material They read it  It was part of their culture it was part of Their worldview.
