*Gospel singer Kirk Franklin was confronted by a street preacher in Jacksonville, Florida, on July 15 who accused the artist of failing to serve the message of God during his performance at the BET Awards.
Franklin shared a 4-minute long clip of the encounter on Instagram Monday where the unidentified preacher told him (Franklin):
“You’ve got a lot of blood on your hands, sir!” adding: “You didn’t stand up at the BET Awards and say ‘hey guys, Jesus is coming back soon and the Bible says in the book of Revelation that the blood will be up to the horse’s bridle because of the blood of the sinners and no one’s warning people. The Bible says your prophets were false because they did not warn you of the sin that leads you to calamity,” the preacher said through a bullhorn, per The Christian Post.

The preacher noted that Franklin giving the Most High props during his performance of “Love Theory” was not enough.
“That’s not enough sir. The Bible says, ‘If I say to the wicked, you shall surely die and you don’t warn them, their blood is on your hands.’ You got a lot of people at the BET Awards, you’ve got a lot of blood on your hands, sir! You’ve got a lot of blood on your hands. That’s what I’m here to tell you,” he continued.
“The preachers are drunk with the wine of Babylon. Haven’t you read through the book of revelations? Drunk with the wine,” preacher argued.
“So you’re saying every preacher that I talk to is drunk with wine?” Franklin asked.
“Well if the preachers that you talk to were not drunk with wine you know what they would tell you? When you go to the BET Awards, rebuke, reprove and correct. All Scripture is useful,” he said.
Franklin said he would have done more if he had more than “three minutes” on the stage. But the preacher fired back: “If I had three minutes in front of the world, I would tell them that wrath is coming and they better repent. That’s what I would tell them. ‘Cause what you said is ‘keep on singing the lullaby everybody. See you later. Go to Hell. That’s what it was.”
“Maybe you didn’t watch the same show,” Franklin pushed back.
“No, no, I watched it. I don’t want to love nobody but you with your nice little Michael Jackson moves. Sir, sir, you need to repent. Those moves will send people to Hell, sir,” the preacher continued.
“My dances moves will send people to Hell?” Franklin asked.
“Not your dance moves but because you’re not doing the right thing with your lips. You honor God with your lips but your heart is far from Him, sir. If you love Jesus you would hate what is evil,” the preacher said.
Franklin then offered to sit down with the preacher and “break bread.”
He agreed but said he would not “break bread” with Kirk until he repented.
