At least that’s what their god supposedly tells us.
1 Timothy 2:12
And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence.

They aren't; the book is sexist. It is outdated and has no place in the modern world.

the precise answer to this relies upon upon the denomination and custom of the Christian in touch. commonly marriage to a non-Christian is discouraged yet no longer banned. There are Biblical passages approximately residing a righteous existence with a view to transform the non-Christian companion. additionally, if a believer is married to a non-believer and the non-believer needs a divorce the Bible says to enable the non-believer leave. There are in basic terms 2 formally regarded motives for divorce: sexual infedelity and being married to a non-Christian. Do word that in the time of accordance to Christianity any infants born to the marriage could be raised Christian. Do understand additionally that some cultural practices consumer-friendly in Muslim worldwide places are banned by way of Christianity. you have cultural besides as non secular problems.

In the original Greek, that same verse is SUPPOSED to read that a woman is not supposed to USURP authority. In other words, if a man is a deacon of a church, a woman is not to usurp his authority.
It also says, in that same passage, that women are to LEARN in silence. If we're learning, we shouldn't be talking, right? Same thing goes for classrooms, right? So why should a church be any different?
No, women are not incompetent teachers. Read Romans 16.

Technically it doesn't say Christian women are incompetent teachers - you're adding your own point of view there.
It does say that they shouldn't be put in authority over men.
Happily - a whole slew of denominations now recognizes that that comment was based upon cultural practices and not necessarily meant to be imposed for all time (though some denominations obviously still do adhere to that).

You used the word "imcompotent." You'e adding to The Bible.
See Cricket's answer.
You omit words, you add words, you take things out of context.
I've been teaching for 26 years, have been named Teacher If The Year once, and have been nominated several times.
I agree with the guy who said you give atheists a bad name.
You do.
Atheists are supposed to be loving, open-minded, and accepting of other beliefs.
You're none of those.

I am Christain, but I believe that gender has nothing to do with your ability to teach.
I bet that at least five of you went and got your Bibles to make sure that was really in there...

a ha ! you found a stumbling block !
The devil used scripts on Jesus and he used the superceding scripts to answer such as:
Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
