Will you rend your garment?

Mary's womb was the first tabernacle holding the human manifestation of God. The Hebrews may have waundered in the desert for forty years with the Arch of the Covenant leading them, but it was left to that little Jewish girl to say "Yes" so that God could become man.

Mary is the Mother of God.

That quote is from Jesus, not Paul. I'm assuming you copied the wrong text. Either way, there is nothing in Paul's writing that show he believed Christ's return was imminent. The beginning of the apostasy, though, he was aware that it was near.

The apostasy that led to the Catholic church.

Could you name a few?

If you remember, Lot asked if God would spare the city if He could find x amount of righteous people in that city. The number Lot asked got lower and lower until basically we knew there were very few people (if any) who were righteous.
Now a days, there are some good people in most places
But, the US is quickly turning into Sodom and gommarah. People are evil and the USA is saying it’s ok




Is that where they got the phrase "Jewing them down?"

Saul of Tarsus prays for his dear departed friend Onesiphorus and his family.....

"May the Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chains, but when he arrived in Rome he searched for me earnestly and found me— may the Lord grant him to find mercy from the Lord on that day!—and you well know all the service he rendered at Ephesus". - 2 Timothy 1:16-18

Fair enough?

At least we ain't cornholing them. Not saying they aren't being trafficked to cornholers, but it's not public policy yet.

How wrong you are. If you truly believed, you would feel just the opposite of what you described. Without fear, full of faith and joy.

I don’t see how it is controversial that Paul was an apocalyptic preacher? Apocalypse meaning Christ return. Maybe you could argue he didn’t believe it would be in his lifetime (imminent) and was just hypothetical, and was using the royal we, but much of his writings were about the rapture, and uses language like, we shall not all sleep, these last days, we who are still alive, time is at hand, at any moment, and encouraged people to not seek love, but also discouraged them from giving up on daily duties.

How would Paul believing Christs return was imminent effect your theology?
