1 Corinthians 14: v 34-35:
Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.
Paul's wisdom is timeless.
I was hoping someone would post that. It was specifically because women in those cultures were seen as the oracles, and they were trying to do that in the church.
Yeah, there's definitely a cultural element to it. But at the same time you also have:
1 Timothy 2:11-13
A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet. For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
So it goes deeper than that imo.
