There are many Christian prophecies that have never come true. The Great Apostasy is a term used by some religious groups to allege a general fallen state of traditional Christianity, or especially of Catholicism, magisterial Protestantism and Eastern Orthodoxy, that it is not representative of the faith founded by Jesus and promulgated through his twelve Apostles: in short, that these churches have fallen into apostasy. So, who is supposed to be the judge of this? I wouldn't worry about it.

It is not a falling away from traditional Christianity . It is a falling away from the real Christ . When satan comes as the Instead of Christ , that will be the falling away or apostasy because he will be so convincing that only God's anointed ones will know the difference. And the only prophesies that have not happened are the ones who's time is not yet . And lady big words know that.

Christians are Now being Persecuted for their beliefs now in America, just as in the days of the Early Church and Most have strayed from the Gospels! Moreover they have all left Christ! Some of it began to happen last night with a VOICE VOTE in Senate to make it a Crime to Teach Doctrine in Churches, Mosques and Synagogues stripping them of Free Speech, if it does not agree with what is Politically Correct. That will include the legality of pedophiles molesting children and it is being called lawful and consensual...They are Blind...That Is what Paul meant! Look up HR Bill 2051, 984 and ENDA.
The Bible is proven to be 99.9% aaccurate in naming people, places and things. The fact that our troops are in what was Ancient Babylon is a prophecy in and of itself and I will keep you in prayer as a non-believer.

Here's the difference between Islam and Christianity.
You can spend all day posting nonsense critical of Christianity, as you've done. And the vast majority of Christians will pray for your lost soul. A few may take offense.
If I spent all day posting similar nonsense about Islam, and the child rapist Muhammad (PBUH), the vast majority of Muslims would want to kill me, while a few may pray for my lost soul.
Which religion realistically represents the covenant between the God of Abraham and the people of creation?
And could you post a link to "Christian Prophecy," you mentioned, since you're making that idea up?

There is no such thing as "Pauline Christianity". Paul preached God's Word as he had received it from the Church through the other Apostles, who had received it directly from the lips of God Himself in the Person of Jesus Christ. That's why his writings are part of the Word of God.

There is only one Christianity.. the divisions at the very beginning were regional.
Catholics and Protestants follow one God not just Paul readings, or Timothy's or John....one Jesus is Lord.

There is no such thing as Pauline Christianity. Only Christianity that believes in Jesus Christ as the Son of God.
