Revealed preference, as economists like to say. Actions speak louder than words as everyone else puts it.

It is interesting that very early Christianity was imminent apocalyptic starting with Jesus himself. And certainly Paul 30 years later. And probably the Church in Jerusalem lead by James brother of Jesus If affected their motives and actions to great extent. But you can see the belief being denuded in gospels written later (nobody knows the time - it will come life a thief in the night) and in Paul' later epistles. The weasel words were creeping in.
