Pastor Mike’s Answer (edited)
Christians should not treat the Cepher as a trustworthy Bible. It is an 87-book collection associated with Hebrew Roots teaching that adds writings outside the recognized canon of Scripture.
Some included works claim a biblical identity they do not possess. The surviving Book of Enoch, for example, is an intertestamental pseudepigraphal work—a writing falsely attributed to someone who did not author it. Likewise, the biblical references to a Book of Jasher do not authenticate a later work published under that name.
A collection becomes misleading when it presents forged or noncanonical writings alongside inspired Scripture as though they carry equal authority. Christians should use a reliable translation of the recognized biblical canon and avoid treating the Cepher’s expanded collection as God’s Word.
