Joe Heschmeyer’s “Devastating” Catholic Shorts? Not So Fast… | Weighed in the Balance Ep. 31
Roman Catholic apologist @JosephHeschmeyer has built a reputation for producing short, punchy videos that claim to deal “devastating” blows to Protestant theology. But are his arguments as airtight as they sound in sixty seconds? In this episode of Weighed in the Balance, Jonathan Brooks takes a careful look at some of Heschmeyer’s most popular shorts—on topics like purgatory, Luther, and the authority of Scripture—and shows why they collapse under scrutiny. Far from being devastating, these arguments rely on selective quotes, rhetorical sleight of hand, and historical half-truths. The Reformation wasn’t built on sound bites, but on the enduring truth of God’s Word. If you’ve ever been unsettled by a slick Roman Catholic video online, this episode will help you see why the gospel of grace still stands firm.
