For the record it is First Timothy not Corinthians Maggie, I believe you are talking about 1 Corinthians 11. Paul never said it was the culture or the women only at that one place. He said "Let the women learn in silence with all subjection." You will not find one verse with Hermenutics to prove that it was only for that church or place. Teaching and usurping authority is what he said not to do. He didn't say they had other problems. If the church still has problems with women teaching or usurping authority then it's the same problem. 2 Timothy 3:16 "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:" We don't get to pick and choose what is written to those people and what is written to us.
