Bible Mysteries

In this episode of Bible Mysteries Podcast, Scott Mitchell and John Potts begin a careful, Scripture-based examination of the Book of Enoch. With increased interest in Enoch across Christian media, this study establishes clear biblical ground rules for evaluating non-canon writings without undermining the authority or preservation of God’s word.

Rather than dismissing Enoch outright—or elevating it to the level of Scripture—this episode tests the book using the biblical standard itself. Scott explains why quotation does not equal inspiration, why Scripture must interpret Scripture, and why internal contradictions disqualify any writing from being considered God-breathed.

This is Part 1 of a multi-part series.

What This Episode Covers

Why the Book of Enoch must be examined through Scripture, not alongside it

The difference between inspiration, historical value, and quotation

God’s promise to preserve His word and why that promise matters today

Why claims about “the original Greek” or “the original Hebrew" are often misleading

How manuscript traditions affect modern Bible translations

Why Enoch’s opening chapter conflicts no with biblical prophecy

Mount Sinai vs. the Mount of Olives and why the distinction matters

The claim that “all upon the earth shall perish” and why Scripture disagrees

The biblical problem with the term “the watchers”

Why Jude’s quotation of Enoch does not canonize the entire book

Key Scriptures Discussed

Genesis 3

Genesis 5:21–24

Psalm 12:6–7

Isaiah 24

Zechariah 14

Matthew 25:31–46

Romans 10

Galatians 4:24–26

Daniel 4

Jude 1:14–15

Acts 17:28

2 Peter 1:20–21

Core Takeaway

God’s word is self-authenticating, consistent, and preserved.
Any book that contradicts what God has already revealed—especially on prophetic and doctrinal matters—cannot be Scripture.
The Book of Enoch raises important questions, but Scripture alone determines the answers.

What’s Coming Next 

In the next part of this series, Scott will continue examining where the Book of Enoch diverges from Scripture and will address topics often tied to Enoch, including the origin of demons and the distinction between demons and fallen angels.

Episode Summary

In this Bible study message, the question of how the Holy Spirit speaks today is examined through Scripture. Rather than relying on personal experiences, impressions, or private revelations, the Bible provides clear instruction on how God communicates with His people in this present age.
Scripture teaches that believers are given a teachable spirit at salvation so they may be instructed by the Holy Ghost. The Spirit teaches by comparing spiritual things with spiritual—Scripture with Scripture—and never contradicts the written Word of God. Throughout this study, biblical examples are used to show how the Spirit leads, teaches, seals, and calls through the gospel, while also warning against claims that cannot be tested by Scripture.

This lesson emphasizes the importance of discernment, the danger of private interpretation, and the sufficiency of God’s completed Word as the final authority for faith and practice.

Key Teaching Points

The difference between a teachable spirit and the Holy Spirit

How the Holy Spirit teaches by comparing Scripture with Scripture

What it truly means to be led by the Spirit of God

How resisting the Holy Ghost is tied to rejecting God’s Word

Why Scripture is a more sure word than visions or experiences

The biblical process by which the Spirit calls sinners to salvation

How to test the spirits according to 1 John 4

Why God’s Word is complete and sufficient for believers today

Scripture References

1 Corinthians 2

Psalm 138:2

Luke 4:1

Romans 8:12–14

Acts 7:51–52

Acts 16:6–10

2 Thessalonians 2:13–14

Romans 10:13–17

John 6:63–64

2 Peter 1:19–21

Colossians 1:24–29

1 John 4:1–3

Main Theme

God speaks today as He always has—through His Word. The Holy Spirit does not add new revelation but teaches, reveals, and applies what God has already spoken in Scripture. Any claim of spiritual guidance must be tested against the written Word of God, which remains the final authority.
Closing Encouragement 

Believers are not called to chase experiences or private messages. They are called to trust the Word of God, test the spirits, and follow the Spirit’s leading through Scripture. The same Holy Spirit who inspired the Word now uses it to convict hearts, teach truth, and call sinners to salvation through the gospel of Jesus Christ.

In Episode 268 of the Bible Mysteries Podcast, Scott Mitchell is joined once again by our friend and brother in Christ, Jeff Dodson, for a focused discussion on biblical wisdom and its meaning in the Old Testament.

This episode continues the broader study of the foundational elements of faith—worship, knowledge, wisdom, and prayer—with special attention given to wisdom as revealed through the Hebrew language. Jeff explains the Hebrew word chokmah and contrasts God-given wisdom with human reasoning, showing how Scripture consistently ties wisdom to the heart and to the fear of the Lord.

Scott and Jeff also discuss the importance of studying ancient Hebrew rather than modern forms, the role of historical Jewish writings in understanding language and culture, and why Scripture cautions against confusing knowledge with wisdom. The conversation emphasizes that true wisdom is shaped through reverence for God, obedience to His Word, and a willingness to walk the old paths rather than follow modern distractions.

Listeners will also hear insights into hidden literary structures in Scripture, including Hebrew acrostics found in passages such as Proverbs 31 and Psalm 119, revealing intentional design and order embedded within God’s Word.

This episode offers encouragement for believers seeking clarity, discernment, and spiritual maturity in an age of constant information and distraction.

Key Scriptures referenced include:

Proverbs 1:7, Psalm 90:12, Psalm 119, Proverbs 31

Topics covered include:

The Hebrew meaning of wisdom (chokmah)

Wisdom versus human cleverness

Why the fear of the Lord is the foundation of wisdom

Ancient Hebrew and biblical interpretation

Hidden acrostic structures in Scripture

Technology, culture, and their effect on discernment

Building a stable spiritual foundation rooted in God’s Word

Psalm 139 is often cited to affirm God’s intimate knowledge of life in the womb, and Scripture fully supports that truth. Yet the language of this Psalm points to something deeper—something the text itself invites us to examine more carefully.

In this Bible study, the phrase “curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth” is examined in light of Scripture, not tradition. The Bible consistently uses the lower parts of the earth to describe the realm of death, not the womb. When Scripture is allowed to interpret Scripture, Psalm 139 emerges as a prophetic picture of Christ’s descent, His resurrection, and the forming of His body—the Church.

Key Hebrew terms such as substance, curiously wrought, and yet being unperfect reveal a work of divine power and careful construction. The Psalm speaks of members written in God’s book before they were manifested, aligning with New Testament teaching on the body of Christ and the Book of Life.

This study connects Psalm 139 with passages from Ephesians, Corinthians, Philippians, and Revelation to show how believers are joined together through the resurrection power of Christ. The Church is not an afterthought, nor a loose assembly, but a body formed through the faith of the operation of God.

Psalm 139 does more than describe God’s knowledge—it declares His purpose.

Key Scriptures (KJV):

Psalm 139:1–24;

Psalm 139:13–16

Ephesians 4:7–10

1 Corinthians 12:13–27

Philippians 3:21

2 Corinthians 5:1–9

Revelation 20:12, 15
