Jack Van Impe,..'Dr' Van Impe PHD...

A llittle levity for a change.  Yup, along with several other guilty pleasures, I have an affinity for watching the Evangelical world's finest theoligian, the one the only Jack Van Impe!  Before I begin,.ley me set the record straight,..I like 'Dr.' Jack and his wife Rexella,..I really do.  They have a beauty, sincerity and zeal for the Faith like no other, they are extremely Catholic friendly and seem to quote the Pope in every episode.  So before anyone accuses me of ecumenical intolerance,..let me just state my admiration and respect for Jack and Rexella,..two fine examplary Christians striving to live out their Faith and bring people closer to Christ through their ministry.  That being said however, his peculiar theology can provide you with one of the most entertaining half hours on television, as Dr Jack and Rexella impart their unique and bizarre understanding of eschatology upon our active intellects!  Simply put, the best half hour comedy duo on television today.  This dude's theological acumen can make a Jehovah's Witness sound like a nuclear physicist...Among his ideas,.(all found in the Bible btw, out of context albeit..see what happens when you read scripture outside the lense of the Church..)  The world will see 2012 as the last year of Christians,..(btw, that's the Mayan calender,.) and that we will eventually be implanted with microchips in our foreheads and hands,..though to be fair, he is not the only evangelical propagating that theory...

Dear Jack,..please study the Catechism.  If don't undertstand a formula, its because you are not trained in classical philosophy.  You have much zeal and enthusiasm for the Faith, yet at times we giggle because your theories are soo ridiculous that you give credibility to Peter Ruckman (another theologian, 'phd').  Please carefully read and pray about our Catholic doctrines.  If you don't undertsand something, ask a credible Catholic resource.  (Your based out of Detroit,..outsource Michael Voris and RealCatholictv)  As well, claiming 18 PHDs from what would appear to be non-accredited schools exposes your own intellectual deficiency.  Memorizing scripture verses is fine, but remember that a text without a context ultimately remains a pretext.  Ask yourself the tough questions,..as in where did the Bible come from?  If the early Church had authority to discern the scriptures, did the Church suddenly lose this authority?  Just food for thought,..until then, please don't refer to yourself as an expert in Catholic theology, and get your Phd's from accreditted schools,..'Billy Bob's Bible Hut' in Mudlick, Kentucky doesn't count,...



Holy Spirit,..the Paraclete,...........Have Mercy on us!
