Importance of Culture

      Some have argued that when Paul forbade women from teaching in the church, he was addressing a certain cultural background and did not mean to speak a commandment from God. The same has been said about other requests such as women wearing coverings, having no makeup, and so on. • Do you think this is a legitimate argument? • Does the Bible address one culture and not another? • Can you think of any other examples in the Old or New Testaments?
