Don't mention it. I too only recognize the accepted canon, but you had made a reference to the scribes handing down the quote from Enoch (v. 14) and I only wanted to point out that there is in fact a book of Enoch from which St. Jude quotes in writing his epistle. I don't believe that the mere fact that St. Jude quotes from 1 Enoch makes the book canonical, but it is evident that at least some of the early Christians were reading deuterocanonical sources for one reason or another. I guess this would be an interesting topic in and of itself. I'll start a thread. Have a good one.

I just finished a study of Jude. For reference, the quote attributed to Enoch in verse 14 comes from 1 Enoch, which is a deutrocanonical book. Also, the information found in verse 9 comes from The Assumption of Moses, another deutrocanonical book.
