Reading the New Testament chronologically in the order it was written (not the chronology of its internal events) really hits this home. Paul’s undisputed letters are the oldest, and Paul is talking about not even having sex, not as a matter of self denial, but as a matter of “Jesus is coming like, tomorrow, so why even bother with sex. I mean if you really got to ok but the end is so near it’s a waste of time really”.
Paul’s stufg is also kind of fun to read because he was an OG weirdo. Fanboy supreme, picking fights and judging everyone, having crashouts, getting kicked out of places for being annoying…
This comrade gets it.

So save it up for when he gets here - Paul
