Please read to the end of this if you truly want to "judge not" towards me. I have not "attacked" Dolly, and I challenge anyone to watch the videos and find one sentence where I have said anything negative about who she was. This is not about attacking a woman who has passed away. It is not about pretending Dolly Parton never did anything good. I actually appreciated a lot of the humanitarian things she did over the years and said so in these videos. Our own daughter even received books through her Imagination Library.

The issue is that I started seeing Christian after Christian saying what a wonderful Christian Dolly was and confidently saying that she is now in the arms of Jesus.

*That* is what made me start looking into her beliefs in the first place.

I had no desire to make videos about Dolly Parton. I honestly had never even spent any time looking into her interviews or theology. But when millions of Christians start holding someone up as a Christian example, I think we have every right, and actually a responsibility, to ask a very basic question:

Were the beliefs she openly taught actually biblical?

I do not know Dolly Parton's heart in her final moments. I don't know anyone's heart before their last breath, and I do not know her eternal outcome, nor did I say I did.

But I can examine what someone openly shared repeatedly about their personal beliefs.

I can compare their beliefs with the Bible, and we are literally commanded to do just that.

When I read the Bible, I don't see, "Jesus loves everybody, so just blindly accept whatever spiritual beliefs someone has and stamp it Christian."

Instead I read:

"Let no man deceive you." Matthew 24:4

"Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing..." Matthew 7:15

"Believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God..." 1 John 4:1

"To the law and to the testimony..." Isaiah 8:20

"Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light." 2 Corinthians 11:14

"Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them." Ephesians 5:11

So when did biblical discernment become hate?

When did simply showing someone's own publicly stated beliefs and comparing them with the Bible become "judging their heart"?

And when did being a nice person become the test of whether someone's theology is Christian?

A person can be extremely generous, compassionate, kind, charitable, and well loved and still believe things that completely contradict Scripture. Good works do not make false doctrine true, and saying the word "God" does not make someone's beliefs biblical.

Talking about Jesus does not automatically make someone's theology Christian either. "Christian" cults talk about Jesus. New Agers talk about Jesus. Plenty of religions use Christian language while meaning something completely different by it.

That is why discernment matters.

And this is what honestly terrifies me about the reaction I've been seeing from Christians.

If we cannot discern very open contradictions when they are coming from someone we love, admire, or grew up watching, what are we going to do when the deception gets stronger?

The Bible tells us the deceptions of the last days are going to become so convincing that, "if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect." Matthew 24:24.

That means "but she was nice" cannot be our test.

"But she believed in God" cannot be our test.

"But she talked about Jesus" cannot be our test.

And "don't talk about it because she just died" cannot suddenly make false teaching biblical.

Truth does not stop being truth because someone was famous, loved, generous, or has passed away.

We can appreciate the good things someone did. We can have compassion for their family. We can refuse to pretend that we know exactly what happened between that person and God in their final moments.

And at the same time we can still say, "Those beliefs are not biblical."

That is not hate. That is discernment. Something I feel strongly that Christians lack these days.

And the more Christianity gets mixed together with universalism, New Age spirituality, mysticism, and the idea that all roads lead to the same God, the more important this becomes.

These last days are not the time to stop testing the spirits. They are the time we need to be practicing discernment more than ever.

"Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God." 1 John 4:1

[Ai analysis of Dolly statement] Based on these interview statements, the belief system being presented does not sound like biblical Christianity. It sounds much closer to New Age spirituality with Christian language layered on top. The major themes are: psychic sensitivity, clairvoyance in the family, drawing energy and creativity from a vague spiritual “force,” being “spiritual but not religious,” openness to reincarnation, “higher power” language, God as nature/science/energy, and the idea that people should simply be accepted as they are. That is very different from biblical Christianity, which teaches one way to the Father through Jesus Christ, repentance from sin, being born again, testing spirits, rejecting mediums/psychics, and judging fruit righteously.
[END]

Millions of Christians are calling Dolly Parton a Christian, but what happens when her own words reveal a very different kind of spirituality? In these interviews, Dolly speaks about psychics running in her family, having “a little bit” of psychic ability herself, being spiritual but not religious, drawing energy and creativity from a vague force, and being open to ideas like reincarnation. She also describes God in broad New Age terms such as nature, science, energy, greatness, and a higher power. But is that biblical Christianity, or is it another spirit wearing Christian language?

The Bible warns Christians to test the spirits, judge righteous judgment, beware of wolves in sheep’s clothing, and not be deceived by smooth words or an appearance of light. A person can talk about God, love, acceptance, and spirituality while still presenting a belief system that contradicts the gospel of Jesus Christ. The real question is: have modern Christians become so conditioned by celebrity culture that they can no longer tell the difference between being nice and being born again?

Jesus did not say He was one of many paths. He said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” Biblical faith is not vague energy, psychic power, reincarnation, or universal acceptance without repentance. True Christianity calls people out of darkness, out of sin, out of deception, and into new life in Christ. In the last days, deception will not always look obviously evil. Sometimes it will look loving, popular, spiritual, emotional, and deeply familiar.

When a beloved celebrity claims Christianity, sings gospel songs, talks about Jesus, and builds a reputation for kindness, many believers assume the case is closed. But what happens when the fruit tells a more complicated story? Let's take a closer look at Dolly Parton through the lens of Scripture, not emotion, nostalgia, fame, or public image. From New Age language about God as “energy,” “nature,” or a “force,” to statements about psychics and mediums running in the family, to open support for lifestyles the Bible calls sin, the question is not whether Dolly was nice, talented, generous, or loved by millions. The question is whether Christians are still willing to test every spirit.

One of the biggest issues addressed here is the way many believers use “judge not” as a shield against discernment. Jesus never told His people to turn off judgment and blindly accept anyone who uses Christian language. He warned about wolves in sheep’s clothing, false prophets, hypocrisy, deception, and fruit. Matthew 7 does not forbid judgment altogether. It warns against hypocritical judgment while still calling believers to see clearly, remove the beam, and help others with truth. Love is not pretending sin is harmless. Love is warning someone before they drink poison, even when the world calls that warning hate.

This is not about attacking a person after death, idolizing controversy, or acting as if any human can decide someone’s eternal destiny. God alone is the Judge. But Christians are commanded to discern doctrine, fruit, spirits, teachers, public influence, and deception. In the last days, the most dangerous lies will not always look dark and obvious. They will often come wrapped in kindness, music, humanitarianism, religious language, and a version of “love” that removes repentance. Have we confused being nice with being born again?

Why do the same symbols keep showing up over and over again? One eye symbolism. A pentagram. The monarch butterfly. A photo shoot inside a Masonic lodge. At what point do we stop calling everything a coincidence and start asking why these images are being placed in front of the public so openly? The world tells us these are just artistic choices, fashion statements, album themes, or harmless aesthetics, but Bible believers should know that symbols matter, worship matters, and the spirit behind the imagery matters.

This is not about hating a celebrity. This is about discernment. We have to stop putting our trust in humans, especially the ones this world exalts like gods. Satan offered Jesus all the kingdoms of the world if He would bow, and that same offer is still on the table today. Jesus answered with, “It is written.” That must be our answer too. Stop idolizing people who are tied to the symbols and systems of this world. Lift your eyes off celebrities, fame, music, and entertainment, and fix them on Jesus Christ before it is too late.

James Blunt’s new “Tastes Like Summer” video takes a bizarrely dark turn: a hitchhiker is restrained, taken out on a boat, and ultimately presented as the “main course,” ending with Blunt’s character eating the victim from his plate. At some point we have to ask why imagery that once would have been considered shocking is increasingly packaged as entertainment. The entertainment industry isn’t even hiding disturbing symbolism anymore, they’re putting it right in front of us. Whether it’s intended as satire, shock value, or something deeper, Christians shouldn’t be entertaining their minds with wicked perversion simply because it's labeled “art.”

Scripture repeatedly warns that what is concealed will eventually be brought to light: “For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.” — Luke 12:2 (KJV). Jesus’ words should remind us that darkness does not remain hidden forever. It’s time to pay attention, test what our culture celebrates against Scripture, and be willing to stop giving our money, clicks, streams, and influence to entertainment we believe glorifies wickedness. “Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.” — Ephesians 5:11 (KJV).
