Is Jesus an angel?

Enoch names the true names and the true tasks of each archangel.
1. And these are the names of the holy angels who watch.
2. Uriel, one of the holy angels, who is over the world and over Tartarus.
3. Raphael, one of the holy angels, who is over the spirits of men.
4. Raguel, one of the holy angels who †takes vengeance on† the world of the luminaries.
5. Michael, one of the holy angels, to wit, he that is set over the best part of mankind ⌈⌈and⌉⌉ over chaos.
6. Saraqâêl, one of the holy angels, who is set over the spirits, who sin in the spirit.
7. Gabriel, one of the holy angels, who is over Paradise and the serpents and the Cherubim.
8. Remiel, one of the holy angels, whom God set over those who rise.

The folklore is quite fluid. Its still folklore.

They taught what they knew. Hebrews 11:5 I think.

Your arguments are weak.
All the things you call " folklore " is in the Bible too.
When Enoch writes about giants, it must be wrong. But if the Bible writes about the giants then it is not a problem. And that even Jude quotes from the book of Enoch, you ignore.

There weren't any giants. Older folklore claims Adam and Eve were 90 feet tall.

The Bible is didactic literature.. Its not history or science. Its poems and legends .. and teaching narrative … morality tales.. The ancient Jews were smart enough to know that. Your expectations are too much. Are you a fundamentalist?
