Ancient Language Expert DISSECTS Banned Books of the Bible | Wes Huff

FULL EPISODE: https://youtu.be/CUkZfgE-L_k?si=UxJFWPCrGQOWVvRz The Bible didn’t include every ancient Christian text. Some books were debated. Some were challenged. And some were rejected outright. In this episode, Wes Huff confronts the so-called “banned” books of the Bible — ancient writings often misunderstood, misrepresented, or used to fuel conspiracy — and explains why they were ultimately excluded from the biblical canon. This isn’t about secret censorship. It’s about evidence. Wes walks through how early Christians evaluated these texts, what standards were used to preserve Scripture, and why certain books failed to meet them — whether due to authorship, theology, historical reliability, or timing. In this episode, we break down: • What the “banned books of the Bible” actually are • Why books like these were debated — and rejected • The criteria used to form the biblical canon • How modern myths distort what really happened • Why understanding this process strengthens faith, not weakens it This isn’t about hiding the truth. It’s about confronting it honestly. ***TIMESTAMPS*** 00:00 - Hidden Books of the Bible, Evidence of Process of Tying Bibles Together, Story of David 13:07 - Issues in Non-Gospels, Jesus a Pagan Mystic (Gospel of Phillip Issue) 18:14 - Atonement & Getting Right w/ God, Council of Nicea & Pax Romana, DaVinci Code Debunked 29:10 - Codex Sinaiticus, Book of John in Greek Translation, Women Compiled Christian Faith 39:07 - Christians Did Not Invent Codex, What Were the Scriptures Then (Codex Sinaiticus Translations) 45:16 - Billy Carson Sinai Bible, Vatican Early Bible Scriptures (Digitized), Why Trust Constantine?, Saint Nicholas Story (Santa), Da Vinci Code is Wrong 53:41 - Mary Magdalene a Prostitute?, Sex Before Marriage (Importance of Sex), Issue w/ Catholic Priests, Role of Women in Church And once you understand why these books were excluded, the story of the Bible becomes clearer — not shakier. @juliandoreyclips ​ Learn more about your ad choices.
