Phoenix – Good point! I could speculate on other reasons it was banned. Remember in Genesis 5-22 he “walked with God.” Perhaps it it was banned because Enoch talks a great deal about what heaven actually looked like. He talked a great deal about the landscape, about different landmarks and what their significance was, where the sinners and rightous would go. He even said that he spoke directly to God. Perhaps some of his writings fell in disfavor of the church and that was why it was banned. Who knows? I'm just guessing again.

Phoenix – I think you asked why the Book of Enoch is not in the Bible. I can tell you why. In the Book, enoch does a lot of talking about fallen angels. During the time that the book was popular (maybe from 200 BC to about 400 AD) Enoch said in his writings that fallen angels took the form of man and lived among them. So, the thinking was that fallen angels take a physical form. About 400 AD thinking switched and the thought was that angels were purly spiritual. Thus the Book fell out of favor and was not included in the bible. At least that's what I understand.
