I am currently reading through the pseudepigraphal work known as 1 (Ethiopic Apocalypse of) Enoch. Much of this pseudonymous work deals with the judgment of angels. One angel, in particular, committed a rather strange crime. The error of Pinem'e was that he taught people how to write with ink and paper. The response by the author is this: "For human beings are not created for such purposes to take up their beliefs with pen and ink" (1 Enoch 69:10). This of course didn't stop the author from writing down his own beliefs with the very aforementioned media.
