Shameless Popery

There are stark political divides between the people (including Christians) who care about the environment, and the ones who care about the unborn.

I want to talk today about the old law and what its role is for Christians. Is the Old Testament law still binding, the Law of Moses?…

Joe Heschmeyer and Trent Horn talk about what not to do as an apologist, and how you can avoid mistakes yourself…

Should we take the Bible literally? How did the earliest Christians take it? And how can we tell when the authors are and aren’t speaking literally?

Joe Heschmeyer:

Welcome to Shameless Popery. I want to explore a potentially hot button issue today, the question of taking the Bible literally. So I know a lot of people pride themselves on being biblical literalists. And I know some people have a problem with Christianity because they say, “How can you take the Bible literally?…

Joe Heschmeyer:

Hi, and welcome to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer. Today I want to explore sacramental confession, the idea of confessing your sins to a priest, and particularly I want to address a really common objection that I’ve heard that is in one sense, a biblical objection that only God can forgive sins.

Now I think this is an important objecti…

Hi and welcome to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer. And today I want to talk about a 5th century French monk by the name is St. Vincent of Lerins. Now, as you might have guessed from that name, he’s a Frenc…

Each December, as we approach Christmas, there are articles proclaiming that the “real reason” we celebrate Christmas on December 25th is because of pagan holidays.

Joe Heschmeyer:

Hi, and welcome to Shameless Popery. This is Joe Heschmeyer. I wanted to talk today about the church. What does the Bible say The church is? This is a big issue that Christians often either don’t think about or disagree about pretty strongly.

Particularly I want to look at six bibli…

Did Martin Luther intend to break with the 16th century Church? And if so, was that necessarily a bad thing? What we can learn from history… and the game show “Who Wants to be a Millionaire”!

Joe Heschmeyer:

Hi. Welcome to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer. Today I want to talk to you about the radical nature of the Reformation, and the reason I want to talk about this is because there’s a popular idea these days, particularly among Protestants, even among some…

Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer. Today I want to talk about the Bible, and particularly I want to talk about the Bible in Jesus’s day. Now, I don’t know if you’ve ever thought about this, but these days we’ve got mass produced Bibles tha…
