Does Matthew 22:23-33 prove that the Book of Enoch is Scripture?

Does Matthew 22:23-33 prove that the Book of Enoch is Scripture?

Did the Messiah consider the Book of Enoch to be "Scripture"? Adam Fink from Parable of the Vineyard says yes. Adam claims that Yeshua uses the Book of Enoch in Matthew 22:23-33 when he corrects the Sadducees regarding the resurrection, directly referencing it as "Scripture." In this short video, we examine this passage to see if it supports Adam’s claim.

Peter's Warning About the Antinomians Who Twist Paul's Letters (2 Peter 3:15-17)

Peter's Warning About the Antinomians Who Twist Paul's Letters (2 Peter 3:15-17)

In 2 Peter 3:15-17, Peter warns that Paul’s letters contain content that is “hard to understand” and which “the ignorant and unstable” misinterpret. He then connects the mishandling of Paul’s letters to “lawless people.” In this video, I argue that 2 Peter 3:15-17 represents Peter’s warning regarding antinomians (individuals who reject God’s law) who misinterpret passages in Paul’s letters to advocate for lawlessness.
