Should Christians ditch Santa? Is the "Christmas" prophecy in the book of Isaiah really about Jesus? And Kirk Cameron recently confessed (bravely, dare we say) to his changing view on hell.

In episode 270 of Bros Bibles & Beer, Andy, Zack, & producer Colin explore the cultural implications of Santa Claus as a replacement for Christ, the alleged deceitfulness of teaching children about Santa, and their personal experiences with the myth.

They talk about Christmas bible prophecy interpretations, particularly Isaiah's prophecy, and discuss evolving beliefs about hell, including Kirk Cameron's controversial new views. The conversation emphasizes the urgency of faith, the complexity of biblical interpretation, and the potential future of Christians leaning towards annihilationism and universal reconciliation versus people going to hell forever.
