Duck Dynasty Season 6 Release Date, News: Phil Robertson's Biblical Views Defended By Son Alan (VIDEO)

"Duck Dynasty" star Alan Robertson has come to the defense of his father Phil's comments on sin last year to GQ magazine, comparing the "Duck Commander" to the biblical hero John the Baptist in a recent speech in Washington D.C.

"My dad, Phil Robertson, has the heart and the mindset of a prophet... long hair, long beard, naturally camouflaged, he ate off the land and he pointed people to Christ," joked Alan Robertson to attendees at the event last week.

The eldest son of Phil and Miss Kay Robertson further expressed his thoughts on his father's boldness to express his Christian beliefs.

"[John the Baptist] also lost his head for speaking the truth in a culture that really wasn't prepared to hear truth," said Robertson. "And yet, you know what - that doesn't change dad's view at all. Prophets tend to not care about their public image, they tend to talk about judgment as if it's real and they speak what God gives them to speak and that's what my dad does. He is in that sense a 21st Century prophet."

Robertson also talked about the controversy that surrounded his family, which ultimately led to his father's brief suspension from the A&E network's hit series late last year.

"It hasn't changed us one bit, who we are, what we believe and what we teach other people. And it won't," said Robertson.

Season 6 of the critically acclaimed reality series "Duck Dynasty" returns on the A&E network on Wednesday June 11 at 10 pm EST.
