Yes but women were allowed to be business owners and purchase property at this time-so where do you get that they were less educated?
There is no valid reason Paul should have singled out women (he could have singled out any group of people he wanted without blanketly opposing women's role in the congregation). I agree with the previous post by MarthaGod if the Bible is from God then why would it be culturally biased?

So Paul, in order to keep the service running smoothly, wanted them to ask theyr husbands. |
