Paranoia is a thought process heavily influenced by anxiety or fear , often to the point of irrationality and delusion . Paranoid thinking typically includes persecutory beliefs concerning a perceived threat towards oneself. In the original Greek , παρ?νοια (paranoia) simply means madness (para = outside; nous = mind). Historically, this characterization was used to describe any delusional state.
The Book of Enoch, translated by rev. George Schodde, Ph.D. says "CURVED", not "TILTED". And, of course, it surely means that the earth (or people) was morally corrupt.
That's how I understood it as I was translating The Book of Enoch.
In the ancedotal information there is nothing that upholds the claim that Noah was "righteous" because of keeping his bloodline pure. As a matter of fact, as the story continues, it says that Noah was short a few planks (pun intended) and that he engaged the giant Og to transport said planks. They struck a deal. Og would get the planks if Noah would allow him to ride on the boat when the flood came.
Because Og was a giant, there was really no room for him on the ark, so Noah said he would have to sit on top deck, (exposed to the weather, I presume). Another part of the deal was that Og would have to agree to be a servant to Noah's family for the rest of his life. Og agreed. He served Noah's lineage until he died during the time of Abraham.
Jesus Christ, why do I work for a living when there are so many gullible minds to exploit for profit.
Another Fun Fact: a "water canopy" around the Earth would have prevented Life As We Know It from existing.
PS - if the sun rose in the west, the Earth's tilt would have changed 180 degrees. That's a bit severe even for OT Jehovah. Why would he put it back? Makes no sense. Maybe the scriptures are so amazingly ahead of their time that they're describing magnetic pole shift instead. Or something equally irrelevent to rain.
Thanks, Leo!
Stupid is as stupid does I guess.
Why do people spend their lives researching and trying to make rationality out mythological stories.
The spiritual seers from ancient times absolutely told embellished stories to
create a sense of awe of their gods, this is a proven fact.
Ironically 2000 plus years latter there are still people put in awe by these same stories.
Well some individuals are commercializing them and creating their own almighty power and wealth.
DON'T READ THE BOOK OF ENOCH!
That book is full of nonsenses and idiocy absurdities. I translated whole Book of Enoch, and believe me, there is nothing vlauable in it.
P.S. Jude really doesn't quote from The Book of Enoch
Titus: "DON'T READ THE BOOK OF ENOCH!"
This is not all from the book of Enoch. The information I have presented is from a very interesting document I found entitled "Days of Noah" by Jeremy Kapp.
quote:
This story is really a collaboration of information taken from various biblical books and Jewish Literature, as well as a few others that appear to tell the same story, such as the works of historian Flavius Josephus, Jewish theologian Louis Ginsberg, the Bible, the Dead Sea Scrolls, many apocryphal books, Enoch 1,2,3, Jasher, Jubilees, Baruch, Solomon, and the book of giants, the midrash, the pyramid texts, and even the Egyptian book of the dead.
Every attempt has been made to make this an accurate and complete account of the Days of Noah.

You know Aramaic? I get the feeling you're referring to the fake Slavic Book Of Enoch and not the one from the dead sea scrolls.
P.S. Jude really doesn't quote from The Book of Enoch
Enoch 1:9 And behold! He cometh with ten thousands of His holy ones. To execute judgment upon all, and to destroy all the ungodly; And to convict all flesh of all the works of their ungodliness which they have ungodly committed, and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.
Jude 1:14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, 15To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
Unless Jude spoke to Enoch face to face, he has to be quoting from the Book Of Enoch.
Leolaia: "Third, the seasons go out of whack because the angels have failed in their duties of making the stars and luminaries rise at the correct times. They are derelict in their duties because they abandoned their heavenly abode."
There could also be another explanation. And that would be the use of metaphor. Because the sun was said to rise in the west and set in the east could be a wording to indicate that a certain group of people observed 'daybreak' or the start of a new day on the setting sun rather than the rising sun.
This is what I believe it means, actually. Not a physical change of the earth.
It had to do with a people who worshipped darkness and therefore the start of their day was calculated after the sun was set.
