    Jelly Roll Says Pastors Who Try To Turn Funerals Into Altar Calls Are “Disgusting”

    Jelly Roll has never been one to hold back his opinion…

    Last year, Jelly Roll sat down with the boys from the FLAGRANT podcast and sparked a controversial debate on how the modern church is portraying Jesus in this day and age.

    The 39 year-old rapper-turned-country artist released his seventh studio album, “Whitsitt Chapel,” back in June and referred to it as his “reconciliation with the church.” When asked to expand, he predicted the church will suffer as a result of people “americanizing” Jesus and “weaponizing God:”

    “Jesus and the church is gonna die, again, if they don’t find a way to portray him the way he was historically known to be.”

    “Ya’ll have americanized Jesus and used him as a way of not only propaganda, but you’ve weaponized God… That was the opposite of who Jesus was.”

    “The same people that you’re criticizing and going against are the only people that Jesus had a relationship with in the Bible. He did nothing but protect town-wh*res, prostitues, people in jail…”

    A post shared by BATS (@atxgymbats)

    A few weeks after Jelly Roll’s comments went viral on the internet, Pastor Chase C. posted a video of his own to his TikTok account condemning Jelly Roll for those comments, saying he’s leading people astray:

    “As a pastor and knowing what the Bible teaches and hearing him talk about sinner….this is terrible. Like, he’s leading many people astray because it does not line up with the Bible.”

    He also goes on to say:

    “When they start singing about God and they start talking about the christian faith and it doesn’t line up with the Bible, we have to expose that to warn you.”

    “Well Jesus hung out with sinners, so should we. No, Jesus didn’t just hang out with sinners because they had a common interest. He warned them to repent. Read it for yourself.”

    That leads us into Jelly Roll’s comments from today:

    Today, the recent CMA New Artist of the Year took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to express another one of his “religious” opinions, (probably something that he’s experienced and seen first hand), about pastors attempting to turn funerals into alter calls:

    “I’ve see pastors try to turn funerals into alter calls….. disgusting.”

    I’ve see pastors try to turn funerals into alter calls….. disgusting 😞

    While followers of Christ, specifically pastors, may view taking the opportunity to preach a short sermon as important and what they’re called to do, many people view choosing to do so as disrespectful and “not the time or place.” Whether you agree or disagree with Jelly Roll, there’s one thing that is clear – the guy has great intentions. Just watch his powerful testimony to congress aiming to help pass anti-fentynal legislation.

    Here are some of the comments in response to Jelly Roll’s tweet:

    Same. Absolutely tragic.

    I once new an incredibly sweet young girl who committed suicide and are small town really took an emotional hit. Nearly the entire high school went to her funeral and the pastor saw it as an opportunity to attempt to drill the word into the mourning…

    What would be a better approach to doing sermons at the time of death?

    Many times pastors feeling obligation to tell people about the good news of Jesus at the time of someone’s death.

    As people have finally stopped long enough to evaluate the fact that life does not last…

    If it's part of the deceased funeral requests, I don't have a problem with it.

    — Scootman (@Scootman63) January 20, 2024

    I agree that it's distasteful, but think of it from their perspective. They don't want anyone to end up in Hell, so they're doing their part to make sure everyone present has been saved. I don't like it but I understand the intention behind it.

    — Rob Oz (@therobofoz) January 20, 2024

    This!!! I have always said that. Especially when the pastor says " we don't know where (insert dead one name) is going but you can know where you are. Nobody Wants to here that when your loved one has died.
