PAUL

I know a lot less than I should about the early church. But, ran across some material that claims that Paul was an observant Jew, perhaps even a Pharisee instead of a Hellanized Jew. If that's true some of his instructions make sense. Especially the one about women not teaching in church. Women didn't teach in the synagogue, as far as I know. They usually had their own section. Same with the wearing of veils and avoiding cosmetics. Trying to make good Jewish girls out a bunch of Greeks.
