78? I thought he was millions of years older than that.
Me too. Total surprise.
Romans 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting;
Poor larry, given over to his reprobate mind. IF he was born again, his shame before GOD will be hideous in the main
He went from famous to infamous when he published some nude photos of Jacqueline Kennedy that had been taken by a paparazzi. The images created a major scandal and Flynt became a millionaire.
In 1976 he was prosecuted on charges of obscenity and organized crime by the leader of an anti-pornography committee. Although he was given a sentence of seven to twenty five years, he only spent six days in prison. Upon revising the accusations thoroughly, the judge realized he was no culprit of crime, and his case remained faithful to the Constitution’s First Amendment: freedom of expression.
Two years after that, the shooting that left him paralyzed took place. Flynt was on his way to the court to defend his magazine when a white supremacist shot him for publishing images of an interracial couple. From that moment on, he was unable to walk.
