[@jonathanshjrne3690]

As a pastor, I enjoyed this song.

[@loriwilber4652]

Great that you have a great sense of humor about this song

[@ErinJoKeck]

TruDat! ;-D

[@kariannowen9055]

God love Ray's truthful sense of humor and your acceptance of it.

[@phillecompte3438]

How good is he right ? Ray's humor and wit just makes the world a better place .

[@williamlegall2988]

Still relevant in 2023

[@HerculesRockefellerESQ]

Even more relevant than ever.

[@1981lashlarue]

His last Grammy nominated song. One of my favorites.

[@RodBeauvex]

Isn't that interesting? He attacks the TV preacher industry and all the sudden his chart success drops like a rock.

[@loriwilber4652]

This song is so freaking funny because it's true! One of my many favorites by Ray!

[@J0stAn0therJ0hn]

He's singing the gospel truth.

[@lesliehiatt8959]

JOHN SESSIONS ain’t that the truth!

[@loriwilber4652]

AMEN!

[@ElPunisher001]

Excellent song and message!

[@jackevans4618]

Amen to that

[@onlytruth4me915]

Isn't that the truth! Great message nicely done!

[@jackwolf1202]

You the man Ray!

[@marialupemelendez9919]

Can't get enough of Ray.!!!.

[@asmrmysticalangel968]

I have always and still love ray stevens humor❤❤

[@geoffreytudor5674]

Ah, Ray! Listened to his albums for hours as a kid.

[@henry44mag.26]

Excellent Mr. Ray always enjoy this song.

[@carlaaustin7223]

I never heard this song before. Pretty good question to ask. You see some evangelist do give you pause to wonder. I don't think having good clothes and a nice home to live in is a sin, however, when you're dressing like you have millions and asking for donations from people to support your ministry and orphanage and those without, you might want to rethink the wardrobe. He's hilarious.

[@suecox907]

Amen

[@loriwilber4652]

AMEN!

[@manestage5403]

A relevant, timeless bop.

[@janiceplott9556]

one of my first favorites

[@Leann68]

Awesome song 👍🏻

[@RickHawkDavison]

Love you ALL. LETS ALL DO AS WE PRAY. LETS SHOW ALL, GODS MERCY AND LOVE...START WITH PATIENCE

[@samuelthornsbury6916]

Love this Song. So true...

[@gloriakelly9378]

Funny. Guy love his music 🎵

[@ruffinm8]

Amen so True.❤

[@FelixVW]

Great stuff! Love it.

[@barbaraunderwood1762]

I love his crazy music. Just listen to the song about the squirrel in the church.

[@nomennescio7571]

Did it end well for the squirrel? I don't want to hear that song if it doesn't end well for the squirrel 🥺

[@Gr8LakesGames]

havent heard this one in a while !

[@DougPowell01]

Awesome, I think we all know the answer to this question 😄

[@minnertube6426]

Hi ray stevens

[@sherrygray2505]

awesome song, clever idea.

[@ronman2221]

Amen

[@loriwilber4652]

I'm a big Elvis fan, too and hope to be one day in the sky with Elvis, singing those rock n roll songs! 😂😂😂

[@db90990]

Haha = I cant see Christians singing r & roll songs in holy heaven with God; i could be wrong but based on what i read in the Bible-i HIGHLY Doubt it 🤪

[@colinmackinnon696]

This is why I trust musicians instead of televangelists.

[@PiranhaJaw22]

nowadays, it's $500,000 on his arm with Richard Mille

[@georgeEW108]

That's for you MAGA universe!

Chuffed to bits, ciao

[@brentad2004]

If you "know" Jesus...that's a dumb question! lol...he was always of humble stature.

[@edborges-silva5101]

It's a rhetorical question to give people pause.

[@loriwilber4652]

Ray's trying to make a point about how some clergy dress and then ask for donations. If you have fancy clothes, jewelry, etc., you don't need donations!

[@mikehughes4969]

I like to think that Jesus would go on TV saying "I don't know these people. I am not affiliated in any way, shape or form with these people, and I wish they would stop using my name.

[@HerculesRockefellerESQ]

I kind of like to picture it like that time when he showed up and the people were using the temple as a flea market and he went ballistic and trashed the place. Can you imagine Jesus chasing Kenneth Copeland around in his megachurch with a bull whip? 😂

[@lordemed1]

Better yet -Would Jesus be a republican and own a gun?

[@kevinfrushour]

Continues to be an issue, too. People following religion when they actually are worshipping the money and the glamour.

[@loriwilber4652]

Not ALL of us!

[@kevinfrushour]

@@loriwilber4652 Nope, but many.

[@gorrillasrus]

Sadly enough no one would accept him if he came back as low-income carpenter again. Living in a studio apartment.

[@musicfanhawk4523]

Great song! Kind of an awkward interview, something off with Ray, much different than his usual.

[@loriwilber4652]

Still funny!

[@jameshepburn4631]

Jesus might prefer a Patek Philippe Nautilus.

[@BassPlayerSusan]

In the era of Trump and how the evangelical (I.e. "fake") christians support him this song is more relevant than ever.

[@MrTheHillfolk]

He's the sandal wearing longhair hippie on the corner handing out flowers and if he's not careful he's gonna get run outta town for being homeless.

[@jameshepburn4631]

Getting to the real 24 karat phonies, how are Hillary, Obama, and senile crook Joe Biden doing?

[@blackfly56]

No

[@4estdweller4ever]

Horrible interviewer

[@ajcongdon1610]

Did anyone have a Rolex or have a TV when Jesus was alive? I read his cloths were valuable and his sack of money was so heavy Jesus let a pilfering betraer carry it.

[@jonathanperrott2298]

The sack of money wasn't heavy with Jesus' wealth, it was a common purse shared by Jesus and all his disciples as they traveled together as well as for giving to the poor. Also, while it may have been Jesus' own clothes, the valuable garment that the Roman soldiers took lots for in my opinion is more likely to have been the purple king's robes Herod put on Jesus to mock him at the same time he gave him the crown of thorns.

[@loriwilber4652]

I'd love to know where you read that in the Bible?

[@Padoinky]

Hate that the commercial interrupted the song calling out all those evangelical hypocrites.. and remember people - jokes are funny b/c they have an element of truth in them…
