Much of these writings as read in the Bible, like those of Paul. For the time it is real. BUT My opinion comes in here!! Any writings have to be looked at on a number of sides to take some extras into account. (a) the writer, and his or her background etc. For example Paul came from a strict background and went from persecutingthe christians to being on the forefront. I believe that at times he wrote like he had some of this in him while writing on a topic. Thus he was possibly influenced by his own teachings before conversion. (b) The social and political issues of the region or area where the writer was at the time of writing. To my understanding some areas he was in had different situations that influenced his writings in order to reach those in that area. Therefore I do not believe that such text can apply today, if it were from a persons ability to teach a message or to reach a person it cannot be limited today to one gender. Besides I have heard it in the past from both genders and sometimes better received from one above the other. and I left out which on purpose. LoL.. This is a very tight and difficult topic to discuss at times.. Thank you for thi sone for thought.
