Summary

How Do You Defend Papal Primacy Using Scripture? And More

What biblical evidence supports the Pope’s authority and the early Church’s foundation in Rome? Joe Heschmeyer explores this question and more from the audience at SEEK 2025, including Sheol’s transformation after Christ, infant baptism, and the Real Presence in Anglican and Orthodox churches.

Questions Covered:

05:46 – What did it actually mean to go to Sheol and how did that change with Christ?
07:42 – How do I defend papal primacy using scripture? How do we defend how the early Church was based out of Rome?
17:08 – I’m Protestant and struggle with infant baptism. How can A child be saved if they have no belief?
23:44 – Hypothetical from an atheist? If I tell my wife: love me or i will set you on fire?” Does she have a choice, and do I actually love my wife?
29:29 – What’s wrong with the following argument: Protestants are more catholic than Catholics because they have fewer factors that need to unify them?
32:30 – How does one discern who has the fullness of the faith between Catholics and Orthodox?
37:50 – Is it ok to refer to Scripture as Jesus since he is he is the word of God?
41:30 – How do we encounter the world, take criticism, and spread the gospel without being obnoxious?
42:12 – If Mary is the Mother of God and she is not the source of his divinity, why does she need to be sinless?
51:13 – Do the Anglican Church and Orthodox have the Real presence? Am I supposed to bow if they do?
