No? The Bible isn't clear about the Mark of the Beast? Then either show me the earliest manuscript of the Book of Revelation that somehow doesn't mention the Mark of the Beast, or admit you're making absurd arguments to rationalize indulgence in your own sins.
Is the implication here is what....that the vaxed don't get into heaven?
