Dolly Parton Believed in God, but Was It the God of the Bible?

Where in the Bible does it teach what you just said? Calling sin what God calls sin is not “condemning sinners,” and it is not inherently Pharisaical. Jesus said, “Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment” (John 7:24). Yet He also confronted sin and called people to repentance. “Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish” (Luke 13:3).

Jesus did not excuse the woman taken in adultery either. He told her, “go, and sin no more” (John 8:11).

The Pharisees were condemned for their hypocrisy, self-righteousness, and traditions that neglected God’s commands. That is far different from comparing someone’s public words and actions with Scripture.

Then show me where the Bible says that warning about sin, calling false teaching false, or telling someone to repent is playing a “Pharisaical game.” If it says that, I will gladly accept it. If it does not, then you are placing something into the Bible that is not there.

When you stand in judgement of another, in this case Dolly Parton, you stand in judgement of God who has forgiven all her sins.
How she understands that forgiveness and what she does with it is her business with God.
The scripture tells us that Christ died for the ungodly, yes, he has forgiven their sins. Maybe you don't qualify or maybe you qualify more than Dolly? How do you see yourself?
