Certainly, my goal is to present the information so people can draw their own conclusions. I hope to explain what led people to see the text this way, because even if multiple authorship isn't the answer, there should be some explanation for what is happening.
@@GilgameshofUtah Got it. Actually I misspoke. The quotes weren't specifically from Jesus Christ. The quotes were from Matthew, Luke, John. and Paul. However, the same rule applies: These men spoke "as they were moved by the holy spirit." If they attributed the quotes from the latter portion to Isaiah then, for me, Isaiah wrote it. The same goes for that specious "hypothesis theory" of the Torah where they attribute the Torah to some shadowy, mysterious editorial committee, then go on to randomly attribute this portion to "P" and that one to "J" and so on. Yea, right. But who did Jesus attribute the Torah to? Lk. 24:44; Jn. 5:46, and others. This is the explanation the Word offers.
The Syrians reacted to their independence from France by persecuted the Jews by firing them from prominent employment; they reacted to the UN partition plan giving Jews the right to live in their ancestral homeland by committing their own version of Kristallnacht, they murdered Jews, and burned their homes, synagogues, and businesses. That is how the Alepo Codex got damaged. Ancient Jew hatred. Not much has changed.
That's kind of a religious thing that I don't have a strong opinion on. I don't personally look at texts in terms of "authorized" or not. I place a lot of value on texts based on the insights they give. One problem with the various Enoch texts is the quality of the transmission of the text isn't as high as other texts we have.
Jesus Christ quoted from all three sections and attributed it all to Isaiah. I guess the Son of God is one of the few "holdouts". So am I.

Do you think the book of Enoch (a scroll was also found in Qumran) should be part of the biblical canon?
