Interesting statements. But not responsive to what I posted.
This in no way explains the taking of something like one of those to create theological musts that stand in opposition to what is in scripture. Neither Jude's nor Paul's quotes of non-scriptural sources negate existing scripture so they are not somehow to be understood as having weight equal to or above that of scripture.
