Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12, Romans 16

Statement by Andrew as his current understanding:

Paul was addressing a particular problem specific to the church at Ephesus in which false teaching was resulting in inappropriate behaviour. Paul was not necessarily giving a universal order to all women for all time not to teach or have authority over a man within the church context, but he was speaking against a domineering type of authority going on in Ephesus.
