Anytime now.
Bill was incorrect, and I say that as a fan of his. Here's why:
I placed the quotes of Paul in a specific order so that you form the train of thought.
Jesus described as Christ and as flesh:
Rom_1:3 about His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who was made of the seed of David according to the flesh,
Jesus was crucified:
1Co_1:23 but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block, and to the Greeks foolishness.
1Co_2:2 For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ, and Him being crucified.
This flesh of Jesus Christ died:
1Th_2:15 who both killed the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, also driving us out and they do not please God and being contrary to all men,
Rom_5:6 For we yet being without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
Jesus Christ died during Paul's Time:
Rom_5:8 But God commends His love toward us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.
Therefore, the concept that Paul was thinking of Jesus as being some ethereal being existing in some ethereal kingdom just doesn't jibe with the evidence.
That entire concept is not scholarship, but rather a work of fiction.
