Joe looks at Dispensationalism and whether the Bible actually teaches that Christians must support the modern state of Israel.

Joe:

Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer, and one of the most contentious topics right now is this question of whether we should support Israel in hiss ongoing fight against Hamas and now against Iran. And there are people who I respect who answer both sides of that question, but I want to look at one particular argument that is sometimes made. It was made recently by Senator Ted Cruz in his Tucker Carlson interview. It’s this a...

Joe responds to Pastor Vlad Savchuk and his video Catholics vs Christianity.

Joe:

Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer, and today I want to respond to a series of arguments against Catholicism made by the popular Evangelical pastor, VLA de Savchuk. And full disclosure, I’m not particularly familiar with him. I’ve seen a few clips of him, but it turns out he’s massively popular on YouTube, so I’m going to try to be as fair as I can to him. It’s clear that we run in kind of different spaces. His blog is mostly focused on, as far as ...

Joe demonstrates how common English translations of the Bible don’t capture the whole reality of what ancient Jews and Christians understood about “love” and “hate.” Understanding the old world meaning of these words will make you see the Bible in a completely new context.

Joe:

Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe, Heschmeyer, and one of the things that can startle readers of the Bible is when we read that God loves one individual or group and hates another. For instance, St. Paul explains the plan of God by saying that Jacob I loved, but he...

Joe’s response to Redeemed Zoomer (and the other Calvinists) who said he was strawmanning Calvinism in my last video.

Transcript:

Joe:

If you can watch ’em in the video, skip my entire third part where I lay out how this is a logical contradiction and he just says, well, let me know if I missed anything important. You did. You missed the crux of the argument. Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer and I’d originally planned to do an episode unpacking the biblical usage of terms like love and hate. Particularly when you hear God saying things like, Jacob, h...

Today Joe demonstrates how Calvinism is actually completely illogical, and how if true, it demands that Christians have more love than God…not joking.

Transcript:

Joe:

Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer, and as far as I can tell, Calvinism is logically impossible. That is, I don’t just disagree with how Calvinists interpret scripture and theology reform, Protestantism seemingly cannot be true because it doesn’t actually make logical sense within its own rules. Now, I realize that’s a big claim and I’m about to set out an argument that I don...

Joe tackles a big issue surrounding the canon of Scripture, particularly Mark 16. Wes Huff made a good video explaining the debate between scholars one whether Mark 16 is inspired or not. Joe weighs in with a definitive answer…

Joe:

Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe, Heschmeyer, and I want to explore the bright ending to the gospel of Mark. Now that might sound obscure, but I want to suggest that Jeffrey Riddle is onto something when he declares that contemporary Christians are in the middle of a canonical crisis, a crisis about which books and which parts of bo...

Joe explains why devotion to the Sacred Heart is the remedy to Pride Month, but what exactly DOES that look like?

Transcript:

Joe:

Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer and as we enter the month of June, we are once again reminded that the secular, particularly corporate world is celebrating Pride Month. It’s been very in your face for years now, and I’m sure many of my fellow Christians are getting sick of it all. And you might know as well that for us as Catholics, June is also the month dedicated to the sacred heart of Jesus. Now, in response to so-called Pr...

Joe attends to what remains of Ryan’s argument against the salvific power of Baptism.

Transcript:

Joe:

Welcome back to Shameless Popery, I’m Joe Heschmeyer and this is the first episode I’ve recorded since I did my debate with Ryan from Need god.net on Sunday. So I wanted to cover a few of the things. Anytime you do a debate, there’s always some stuff where afterwards you say, oh, I wish I’d spent more time on that, or I wish there’d been more time to cover this topic. And this was no different. I think the debate went really well. I still think there were s...

Joe:

Welcome back to Shameless Popery, I’m Joe Heschmeyer, and on Sunday I had a debate with Ryan from Need god.net on whether or not water baptism saves. Since I’m actually recording this on Friday a lo from the past, I can only pray that the debate went well. Now you can follow the link in the description to view the debate for yourself and you can let me know how you think I did. But in any case, in the c...

Joe addresses 5 bad catholic arguments that you think are good, but actually aren’t. And he gives you some tips on how to be more convincing when engaging Protestants!

Transcript:

Joe:

Welcome back to Shameless Popery, I’m Joe Heschmeyer and today I want to explore five bad arguments that we as Catholics need to stop using in our conversations with our Protestant brothers and sisters. These are arguments that I’ve heard and sometimes made and they’re bad arguments and we can do better. So before I get there, I want actually lay out a few kind of positive tools because I...
