The Use of Non-Canonical Writings in the New Testament, some examples: - Paul refers to the non-canonical book Jannes and Jambres (II Tim 3:8) when naming the magicians of Pharoahs court in Moses time. - Hebrews, in referring to those who were sawn in two, alludes to a book called the Martyrdom of Isaiah (Heb 11:7). - In addition to his use of the Book of Enoch, Jude cites the Assumption of Moses when he theologizes on the archangel Michaels dispute with the devil over the body of Moses (Jude 9). - The Book of Enoch is mentioned several times (by Joel Kalvesmaki) It proves that the Church is authority, not any text/scripture.
