Better question. Was he at all?

Evidence for that or just more of your baseless assertions?

[Rayaan]

I'll be back with more on this.

Do as you like, of course, but don't do so on my account, as I'm not interested enough to even respond to your last post. Also, while some of your arguments can be made by an honest reader, I find your protests on "the Word" and "the Lamb" to be disingenuous.
