A friend of mine sent me the following via text:
In Jude v14 we read Enoch's prophesy - this is taken from the apocryphal book of Enoch. Do you think that the book of Enoch is divinely inspired? Similarly, Bunyan was converted when an unknown text came to him which it turned out was from the apocryphal book of Ecclesiasticus.
I don't believe that the apocrypha is inspired but at the same time I'm not sure how to account for references to these books in scripture. So I thought I would pass to those of you more learned in these matters than me!
