‘Bishop’ Carlton Pearson’s family has announced on Facebook that the famed apostate has been moved to “comfort care” in response to the encroaching and consuming cancer, and that he’s not long for this world.
According to Caringinfo:
Comfort care is defined as care that is focused on symptom control, pain relief, and quality of life.
Comfort care still involves medical therapy, and sometimes lots of medical therapy, but the goals of the therapy are different. Comfort care often implies that the person is reducing the intensity of medical care because the burden is outweighing the benefits. It also commonly means the individual recognizes that they are nearing the end of their life.
One way to think about it is to imagine where and how someone is spending their time and energy. Someone with heart failure may regularly spend time taking medications, taking their vital signs, having their blood drawn for testing, taking other tests, and visiting their doctor. Someone focusing on comfort care will spend the majority of their time at home with friends and family. They may call the important people home and take the opportunity to say goodbye without a lot of medical-related distractions.
Carlton Pearson used to be one of the most prominent pastors in America. He founded a Church of God In Christ church (COGIC) called the Higher Dimensions Evangelistic Center in Tulsa, OK, in the early 80s, which he eventually grew to over 6000 attendees every Sunday.
He hosted a weekly preaching show on TBN, reaching millions of people, and was one of the first black ministers to sell out stadiums and conferences, platforming folks like TD Jakes and Joyce Meyer and sharing the stage with Jerry Falwell and Oral Roberts. Given his prominence, he also met with and ministered to Bill Clinton and George Bush, counseling them on faith-based initiatives and following major tragedies.
His downfall began after he claimed he heard the voice of God speaking to him and telling him there was no hell after watching a video of the Rwandan genocide. He shared this revelation with his congregants, who rejected him and the message wholesale.
His denomination publicly branded him as a heretic and his church hemorrhaged dozens of pastors and thousands of congregants until only a few hundred remained. After struggling on their own for a few years, they eventually merged with All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa. Here, at this pro-LGBTQ, pro-choice Trinity-denying church goatpen, he became an affiliate minister, where he’s been ever since.
There’s no denying that Pearson is a heretic on his way to hell, and we pray that he repents before it is too late.
