Of course every Biblical scholar worth his/her salt knows that the Pastoral Letters, which include Titus and Timothy 1, were not written by Paul, but composed long after his death by anonymous followers of the Pauline branch of early Christianity. The SBC had to dig deep to justify its suppression of women; the teachings of Jesus certainly had nothing to do with it.
