Bible Expert on which Christianity is TRUE, the Book of Enoch, & if Christmas is Pagan

Andrew Schulz and his co-hosts engage in a wide-ranging discussion with Wesley Huff, a biblical manuscript expert, about various aspects of Christianity and religious history. They explore topics such as the accuracy of the Bible through manuscript analysis, the historical context of early Christianity, the role of John the Baptist, and discrepancies in biblical accounts. The conversation also touches on comparisons with other religions, the influence of paganism, and differing interpretations of Christian doctrine, with Schulz and his co-hosts interjecting with comedic takes and personal questions.
