It's funny how Enoch isn't considered canonical when it is quoted by Jesus yet Esther is considered canonical while asserting that the Father actually had his people adopt a Babylonian holiday of degeneracy (Purim)! And had a daughter of Israel given to a foreign husband when elsewhere he condemns this act.
Also, which Book of Enoch do you refer to? Not the Ethiopian version I assume, as the Ethiopians were given Judaism by false Jews and you seem to be at least aware of "judiazers".
What is your opinion on the Dead Sea Scrolls as a whole? It is unsettled in my mind. I have heard it asserted that it seems that they were a collection of genuine scripture but also that they had collected works of the devil almost as if to ensure awareness of false doctrines found in the Damascus Document for example. I personally find this to be a valid viewpoint, but I'd add that "Israelis" did take them away and release them much later which is beyond sketchy, not to mention that many fragments bought by museums around the world have allegedly been found to be fake. Therefore any anti-scriptural texts found in the collection could have simply been added at the time in which they were in the hands of the judiazers. Either way, it seems to me they were a genuine collection that was taken and torn to pieces by Edom, as non-"israeli" eye witnesses assert that many documents were intact to begin with. And I cannot fathom that false jews would leave true documents unadulterated. But I then have to wonder why they would leave certain pieces intact, pieces that support a Christian viewpoint. Did they burn the original and create a fake so that later these pieces could be discovered as fake? Did they include only just enough of what they thought was witnessed by Christians before they had been hidden away? Did they include just enough that Christians would think we had rediscovered old truths while in fact most were disposed of? Did they do it to build Christian perception of Israeli honesty? Did they include just enough to inspire Christians to accept the collection as a whole, added/anti-scriptural works and all? The question of why Israelis wouldn't have destroyed these documents altogether in the same way that they destroy the evidence of giants, does need to be addressed in my opinion.
Lastly, along the lines of Apocryphal works, have you read the Testament of the 12 Patriarchs (found among the Dead Sea Scrolls as well)? I found it to be very insightful and nothing stuck out to me as anti-scriptural in my initial reading. I had always thought a book like it should exist so I hope that's not the only reason I found it to seem authentic.
