Lesson for the Boar's Head Tavern, No. 867
Quote Advertised at the Boar's Head Tavern:
I would counsel young people to avoid liberalism, but not to ally themselves carelessly with self-professed conservatives. It is not a mark of wisdom to abandon Karl Marx only to take up with Ayn Rand. Rather, study the scriptures, work on becoming Christians, and see where that takes you. I can predict with some confidence this will make full cooperation with any party impossible, but this does not mean you will not be able to rank, and support, secular parties (and they are all secular) according to what might be called their degrees of perfection--some, perhaps, quite fully, others hardly at all. -S.M. Hutchens
No, here's how it works: you read the Bible, you experience regeneration, you have the Spirit of Truth in you, you know a false idol when you see one, you recognize the influence of the kingdom of darkness when and where and how it manifests, subtly or not-so-subtly. You read everything, you learn, you get up to speed, you see in history how the devil has worked and what he's accomplished, you discern where the forces of life, light, and freedom have managed to fight death, darkness, and tyranny; you see the battleground, the successes, the losses, the effort and degree in both; you see great manifestations of God's glory working in His people, you see it inevitably weaken and dissolve away in time. You see strongholds, you see the taking down of strongholds. You begin to discern and hold to basic truths that ride above the fray and noise in time. Basic truths such as what are written in the U.S. Constitution; basic truths such as free markets and strong defense and classical education; basic truths such as the Ten Commandments. If you're relying on your vain little mind to see these things you end up being a wobbly little fifty-percent dupe for the darkness, never fully seeing the scam, always manifesting Stockholm Syndrome to one degree or another towards your prison wardens and guards ("I was just listening to Hilary Clinton, and she's not so bad! I mean, maybe I'm having a giddy, love-the-world moment here, but I could vote for her!"). You need the Spirit of Truth in you. You need a real navigator to guide you and give you real discernment and understanding as you sail over waters with as many hazards as this world presents. You need regeneration. Read the Word of God complete. It exists to impress into you what is false and what is true. It exists to give you discernment of which way is up. It is the Rock foundation upon which real discernment and understanding reside. You can't regenerate yourself, but you can move close to God (James chapter 4).

c.t. the sad fact about Michael Spencer and the Boar's Head Tavern group is that they are spiritually blind. It is evident by the false fruit that they bare. I am trying my best to be fair but simply must conclude after much reading and reasoning that Michael Spencer is on a slippery slope and possibly never knew Christ and instead had a dose of mommy's religion instead ("daddy fed, mommy led" type). The scriptures declare that such one as Spencer is "thinking himself to be wise" yet he became a "fool". He is simply lost irregardless of what he or many others there at the BHT profess (i.e. Phillip Winn). They refuse to heed the Word of God and have no respect for it whatsoever. They mock the Word of God as well as those that hold it dear. To them, we are old fashioned and out of touch. That is exactly what the world believes. "FOR THE WORD OF THE CROSS IS FOLLY TO THOSE THAT ARE PERISHING, BUT TO US WHO ARE BEING SAVED IT IS THE POWER OF GOD." I Cor. 1:18
Michael Spencer will be held accountable for those whose minds that he led astray with his unbiblical foolishness. It is clear that he believes more that HE is God versus God being God. I think that he may have other issues also. Constructively criticize him and watch him whine and claim that he is being picked on. It is as my children say, he is quick to dish it out but cannot take it. I rejoice, though, that evil men like Michael Spencer, aka iMonk, will not prevail and that those that trust in God will persevere. Every chance we get to "shine the light" on the false prophet and his foolishness, we do and will continue to such as we did at Modern Reformation Magazine. Until he repents, he can expect us to stand firm and oppose him in every way.
.......IMONK is like a dog who has returned to his vomit to eat........

....that picture of iMonk sitting at the computer with his shirt off is hilarious but kind of gross.....
Fred Phelps is a freak and really doesn't get the Gospel. But, what is even sadder is that he still is far more spiritual and has a better grasp of Gospel truth than Michael Spencer and the dildos over at the BHT.
Hey imonk...put your shirt back on in that picture you posted on the BHT or get yourself a bra!
