Is Mark 16:16 Truly a Problem for Protestants?

In this video, we respond to Joe Heschmeyer’s Shameless Popery episode on the ending of Mark 16 and the supposed “problem” it creates for Protestants and Sola Scriptura. Joe raises important questions about textual variants, canon formation, and ecclesial authority—but does his argument really hold up? We walk through his claims point by point, giving credit where it’s due and offering thoughtful pushback where it’s needed. Along the way, we explore the nature of divine inspiration, the role of tradition, and why Protestants don’t need an infallible magisterium to trust the Bible. Whether you’re Catholic, Protestant, or just curious about how Christians discern Scripture, this deep-dive offers clarity, context, and a compelling case for the sufficiency of God’s Word.
