How Does First Enoch Contradict Itself?
First Enoch contradicts itself because the stories about angels coming down get repeated a couple of different times as it is a collection of five different books. The Book of the Watchers, the Parables of Enoch, and the Animal Apocalypse tell overlapping stories in ways that do not align perfectly so First Enoch is internally inconsistent.
