I have currently having a discussion with a evangelical friend of mine who is strongly in favor of women in ministry, pertaining to this recent article http://www.patheos.com/blogs/biblea...nts-against-women-in-ministry-arent-biblical/
He claims a high view of scripture yet claims that passages in which Paul forbids women preaching when understood within context are not actually what they have traditionally been understood. As someone who has been taught to understand the full context of scripture I find it hard to fight his argument. it also seems like I have a hard time finding responses against the cultural argument. What are the orthodox arguments against these cultural arguments.
