Some claim that less than half of Paul's letters are actually for us, the nations. This theory causes its adherents to render Paul's first letter to the Corinthians obsolete. Thus, Paul's statement in 1 Corinthians 7:29 that "the era is limited," does not apply to the era we are now living in, but a bygone era that existed before Paul's "perfection epistles." Sound crazy? It is. The result is that we are supposedly now living in an era that is limitless (the opposite of limited) and that the return of Christ is nowhere in sight.
