Bartlett's jurisdiction argument: Paul's authority was limited and temporal

Bartlett argues that Paul's 'I do not permit' was a ruling within his apostolic jurisdiction over Ephesus, dealing with a specific problem, and does not constitute a timeless universal prohibition. Mike rebuts this extensively: (1) Paul's apostolic authority was over all churches, not just Ephesus; (2) Paul explicitly says his teachings apply 'in every church' (1 Cor 4:17); (3) 1 Timothy was preserved as Scripture precisely because the early church understood it as universally applicable; (4) the grounding in creation (not cultural circumstances) demonstrates timeless intent; (5) if we limit Paul's jurisdiction this way, we could dismiss any of his teachings.
