In this article we will analyze the arguments generally used in favor of the women's arrangement.

Question #12 Pablo was writing his letters to attend to local and specific problems. How can we apply today what Pablo wrote if the situations and contexts are different?

Answer: Almost all the books of the New Testament were written in answer to some specific situation in one or more of the Christian communities of the 1st century. But those who defend the feminine arrangement would not say because of it that anything of the New Testament is applied to the Christian today churches. The letter to the Gálatas, for example, in which Pablo defends the doctrine of the justification for the alone faith, it was written to fight the legalismo of the judaizantes that were trying to turn the kind Galacia churches away in the middle of the 1st century. Would we dare to say that Pablo's education on the justification as the faith has no relevancy today for having being taught in reaction to a heresy that was afflicting the churches in the 1st century? The point is that there exist beginning and permanent truths that they were transmitted to attend to the local, cultural and passing questions. The historical circumstances happen, more the theological beginning remains. The inadequate conduct of the women in the churches of Corinth and Éfeso, to whom Pablo wrote indicating that they will remain kept silent in the Church, was a definite historical moment, but the beginning applied by Pablo to solve the problems caused by these attitudes remains valid. Or, the education that the women must be submissive to the masculine leadership in the churches and in the families, without occupying leadership positions and I govern, it is the permanent and valid beginning for all the epochs and cultures.

He asks #13: Where does one find in the Bible that only the men can be shepherds, presbíteros and deacons

Answer: The most explicit texts are Done 6:1-7; 1 Timoteo 2:11-15; 1 Corinthian 14:34-36 and 1 Corinthian 11:2-16. Some of these passages were analyzed by more depth in the previous chapters. Also, the intrinsic relation between the family and the Church shows that that one that is a head in the family (Efesios 5:21-33) also must exercise the leadership in the Church.
