Emile, I hesitated to to reply to your post (# 205), in which you gave as “proof” of the validity of one-handed ordinations an assertion made by “Lightfoot” back in 2011 – and that the issue of one-handed ordinations was now “settled.”  I hesitated because I wanted to see if you would check the Pistrina link (that I provided) that definitively shows that the issue has not been settled (and that Anthony Cekada’s pathetic “defense” of one-handed ordinations is demonstrably flawed).  (The Pistrina article, in fact, totally demolishes Cekada’s arguments.)  I thought that, just maybe, you might genuinely seek the truth by simply clicking on that link – but you didn’t even bother.  Instead, you chose to resurrect some old post from 2011 (by someone called “Lightfoot”) that proves absolutely nothing.  That is the problem with you and some other “armchair theologians” on this website: you simply IGNORE the truth, and instead serve up groundless assertions over and over again.  This is the last refuge of the ignorant: to ignore truth because one does not have the knowledge base to challenge it – and then substitute pointless verbiage as “proof” – or, even worse, go the “ad hominem” route and attack the Pistrina article’s author for referring to Cekada’s gross mistranslations as “minor errors.”  So, if you choose to respond, respond with proven facts, not rehashed nonsense.
