#268 The Jewish Roots of “Christ Is King”
2w agoTap to summarizeJoe breaks down why Christ Is King has Jewish roots. Transcript: Joe: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer and I want to talk about the phrase Christ is king.

But hear me out, that’s not me. And if you still think I’m wrong at the ...

3w agoTap to summarizeBible in Context is an Instagram page that regularly replies to Catholic creators, and has replied to several clips of Joe. Today Joe responds back! Transcript: Joe: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer. Many of you may be familiar with the Instagram account Bible in context. It’s run by a guy by the name of Patrick O’Brien, and he’s built a large following attacking Catholic teaching. He’s called the Rosary Demonic, said praying to saints is communicating with demons, and even called the Eucharist blasphemy. So needless to say, no fan of Catholici...

That person is the Protestant...

Apr 7Tap to summarizeJoe’s opening statement in his debate against Doug Wilson on Sola Scriptura. Transcript: Joe: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer and happy Easter.

Catholic church bells would be okay. But a parade in honor of the Virgin Mary, carrying an...
