Not at all, it's joots. Since I can't be perfect, it's not on me to be perfect, so I've gone all in on someone else being perfect. That doesn't stop the possibility of me being wrong, but nothing does.
I suspect you are one
I'm accused of being a lot of things, but what I am is a Messianic Gentile, a covenantal Christian who learned the Hebrew roots of the faith. Christians use Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek when they're more accurate than English; the satan is the (lead) adversary of God. You act like OT and NT are opposed to each other, but that's not a Christian teaching.
But using critical thinking, and using other techniques like reasoning from first principles, I am able to navigate through the web of their lies. And eventually I manage to connect the dots.
Excellent! Two users of critical thinking and reason should come to the same conclusions on any point sooner or later. The primary reason folks today don't know that Enoch and Jasher were primary sources for Bible writers (with Jubilees a bit more of a parallel source) is that we promote the protocanon so much that people cease to ask questions about anything else. Over time the covenant people had many books (we still do) and only the books of the protocanon bubbled up to be recognized as having a level of inspiration that the "apocrypha" never got recognized as having, and that's primarily due to qualitative differences it the books that can be demonstrated. But that means people lost the apocryphal background that had informed people earlier in the covenants. We might also argue that beyond attrition there was suppression of spiritual warfare tactics shown therein, but in time we're recovering those too.
Based on the information found in these three books left out of the Bible, the ones I mentioned above, I’ll say again it doesn’t matter “to learn the rules of Truth and apply them to getting history right “. It’s not important for our fight.
Not sure why that follows. The rules of Truth are primarily about critical thinking and reason. I'd expect an Enoch reader to be more demanding of absolute Truth, such as in history. But if you want to trust Enoch above its usual level today (and we know Peter and Jude deferred to him), be my guest. I'm not sure why that changes much. The enemy is still the satans and watchers and their minions, the spirits by their nature, and the humans sometimes by genetics but always by voluntary relationship.
So yes it's got Babylonian roots in part, but if you act like a race of humans is automatically guilty from birth, or like a meme about 109 nations is as good as Enoch, I might ask you to apply critical thinking and reason.
