All the pain from being rejected by people like Oral Roberts, his mentor.

You know what often times when someone close to you hurts you, in this case I understand OR denouncing CP, you reach out for anyone to help heal that hurt. The gay community is in the same boat. While the church and other stand and ........ them to hell they look for people to heal the hurt. It is no different for CP, I am guessing. If you find love and acceptance in a place it is tough to turn your back on it even if it goes against all you have ever known-like in this instance with CP.

True. We all want to feel accepted and loved. Maybe if the reaction to CP's "revelation" hadn't have been so harsh there may have been a chance to bring him back from it. Now he sees himself as being more like Jesus because Jesus was also rejected by the leaders of His day. The deception seems to have snowballed.

Indeed. The man is in a horrible place spiritually.

Agreed. The problem with being in that sort of shape is that it limits God's choices for bringing him back from finds himself. The love of God won't work because CP believes the love of God is caused Him to give Him this revelation in the first place. The fear of Hell obviously is off the table. That leaves God with the only option left in His fight to win the lost, judgement. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
