Face it: Accounts like these are ALWAYS cool to hear (from email)... You may not recognize the name but Claudia Wells was “Marty McFly’s” girlfriend in the “Back to the Future” movies. She didn’t have it very good growing up. Sorry to say it, but her daily routine was she had to stand next to the bed in her alcoholic mother’s bedroom and turn a “360” while her mom “graded her weight”. Needless to say, Claudia went bulimic for years as a result. Not sure on this part but one day she either had lunch there or was staying there after leaving home but one day, Dean Jones and his wife (Dean Jones was the “main guy” in the “Herbie the Love Bug” movies) led Claudia to The Lord. Additionally, Michael Gross is already born again. He was the “older guy” in the “Tremors” movies and was also the dad in the TV sitcom “Family Ties”. Have no idea on anything involving Michael J. Fox but one must admit that between Wells and Gross, that’s YEARS of influence. Again, no idea...Ironic, though, nonetheless. ____________________ Sure, why not. Go for another cool one: 2 people: Charles “Tex” Watson and Susan Denise Atkins. They were both part of the Manson Family and he was the one to cut the phone lines at Cielo Drive (I THINK he was the one to kill Steven Parent as well...not sure) and she was the one who stabbed Sharon Tate and wrote the word “PIG” in blood on the wall during the “Helter Skelter” murders in 1969. Her Manson family name was “Sadie Mae Glutz”. They both received life sentences (obviously), and she passed away a few years ago. Before then, she wrote a book telling her story, titled “Satan’s Child/God’s Child”. He’s been denied parole at least 17 times but for years now he’s run from prison what’s known as “Abounding Love Ministries”. TOTAL AND RADICAL conversion stories on both.

KINGDOM PROSPERITY (LIFE MORE ABUNDANT): It DOES NOT involve, “Send check or money order and in return get a prayer cloth / keychain / handkerchief specially anointed for your personal wealth”. Your abundant life as one born again STARTS with the fact that you are forgiven for EVERYTHING past, present and future through Jesus Christ (Hebrews 10:14, etc.). If you are born again (or “born from above” – or “born the new way” – John 3:1-6), you will not be judged along with the world system (1 Corinthians 11:32). EVERYTHING ELSE after that fact works together for your own best interests, thanks to God The Father. That’s in Romans 8:28-30 and Philippians 1:6. That’s because God The Father said it, not some “televangelist” who may be trying to make a buck. “Word of Faith Movement”, “Prosperity Gospel”, “New Apostolic Reformation”, “Name It / Claim It”, “Progressive Christianity”, “Faith Healers”, “Social Gospel”, A.D. Era “Prophetic Ministries”, cults, false religions and the like: That’s all 2 Timothy 4:3-4 and James 4:3 garbage. God The Father is definitely not some “vending machine” or some “slot machine”. It does not matter how much “stuff” you may or may not have. According to Ephesians 5:11, instructions are to have nothing to do with the deeds of darkness but rather expose them and according to 1 John 4:1, instructions are to test the spirits. Over the years, there has been quite a lot taught about Christianity. The problem is, many of those things simply are not Biblical. Makes one wonder at times - Human opinion versus God The Father’s opinion...Wonder who would win? Additionally, Mosaic Law and/or other types of Legalism - Sad, huh? One thing to also remember is that there are dozens of each, cults and false religions. Many of them have done a SPECTACULAR job of messing up the Gospel message with either bogus teachings, fake literature based on fake Bibles and so on.

REMINDER: Greetings, It’s just an “FYI” thing. Not trying to draw attention to self or anything by mentioning but if it happens to be that you have either a gab.com or a mewe.com account, feel free to do an “add”. On the “gab” thing, stuff might be under “Something_Real”. Motive: For anyone, praying this all helps. If there’s any “ammo” here that’s either wanted or needed, go for it. As Scripture implies - “Freely you have received, freely give”... This “Orbys” thing’s getting the axe on 3/15/23. Just wanted to send an invite before then. Thanks much! -Eric

This is just FYI. I had no idea myself and neither did my dad despite being an Evangelist / Pastor for over 50 years. Telling quite a few people about THIS one... Every version of KJV has it...That’s AKJV, KJ21, NKJV, etc. There are a scant few other translations with the same error, but kinda makes one wonder from where they obtained said “translation” since the error’s duplicated. Please excuse the typo in Romans 8:1-4. The phrase which reads along the lines of, “Who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit” in verse 1 is duplicated in verse 4. The guess is a scribe took notes in the margin and another scribe later accidentally wrote it incorrectly in BOTH verses. It DOES belong in verse 4, however. In time, The Lord turned on the lights. Picked that one up from Andrew Farley who pointed out that typo. Makes sense because of what he said: He pointed out that typo in a sermon, and the context was, if you think about it deep enough, WITH the typo it causes verse 1 to appear as some “works-based righteousness” thing and WITHOUT it, it implies faith, the way it’s SUPPOSED to be.
