I’ll trust what Ann Graham says, but Scofield, not so much.

You will?

"Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression" (1Ti 2:11-14 AV).

"Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak;
but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.
And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame
for women to speak in the church" (1 Cor. 14:34-35 AV).

I don't suppose Anne Lotz ought to come under this rule? (/sarc)

While your link subtly tries to displace the basis of argument from the ground of interpretation of 2 Chronicles 7:14 to a discussion of Scofield's early troubled (and prejudicially reported) life, it does not at all refute the valid Scriptural discussion on the promises of God as found in "Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth," does it?

Let's not shift the focus away from AGL's (lack of) Biblical hermeneutic that slyly misapplies the text in question. What that deceptive use of Scripture out of context does is to place the blame on God for the disarray or ordering of our civil government, rather than accepting the responsibility of straying church member and membership, placing it squarely on the (lack of) moral leadership in the pulpit and in the Bible schools and seminaries of leading denominations.

God is just watching what we do with the liberties He has allowed us to embrace or reject. As we give them up, so does His influence on government through His (erring)(disobedient) children.

If we haven't learned anything through the documented history of Israel and its final dispersion, we haven't learned anything regarding our responsibility to resist the Wicked One's influence in our schools and universities.

Praying to God to reverse the outcomes of our deliberate irresponsibilities is a no-go solution. And proposing that by prayer He inluenced a shift of the electionis really discrediting the fact that it is the voters who individually stepped up to the plate and elected Trump, not determined by God tinkering with the results.

Lotz is wrong in this teaching, and we don't know how it's going to play out, do we?
