I’m curious to how Paul would feel about being called “insane”. Would he think it was offensive? Would he think it was harsh?
What’s wrong with seeing people on the road to damnation and wanting to point them to the Gate? Is anything more important than a person’s eternal life? How can one be obsessed with such? Is any amount of concern over it too much?
Paul who?
Consider the prayers that Catholics offer to saints, along with the claims that "they're not dead" and "they can hear us in Heaven". Consider the reverence / veneration that Catholics offer to Mary, the mother of Jesus. Now watch the backspin as a Catholic tries to justify saying that one of Christ's apostles was insane when he wrote his epistles.
For comparison's sake, try imagining the reaction from Catholics if a Protestant were to say that Mary was just experiencing severe PMS when she composed the Magnificat.
Paul was so "obsessed" with people's eternal life that he pleaded day and night, in tears, for years, so that they would turn to the truth. That is a burden for souls that Christ desires all his disciples to have.
Nothing. No. Easily. Yes.
WELL PUT INDEED:
