I have heard claims that Jesus chose no women as Apostles because of the time in which he lived.
To those who make this argument I’m curious if you think Jesus could not see that in the year 2006 it would be a great idea to have female priests or if you think Jesus was a chauvinist.
If you believe the first argument, one would assume Jesus bowed to the pressure of the times, I can’t recall Jesus taking the politically correct route in anything he did.
If you subscribe to the second, that would seem to be a claim that Jesus was susceptible to human pettiness.
