This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Okay. But I'm talking about the particular famous demiurge of 1st & 2nd 
c. Christian Gnostics. The one who was supposed to have spoken to Moses. 
The one I think Typhon/Pas models.
There are lots of various actions of an antichrist as well, I suppose. 
He might only mislead regarding the Gospel.
