Marcion

[NickHassan]

Hi,
Another famous heresy has surfaced and deserves study.
Wikipedia
Marcion of Sinope (ca. 110-160) was a Christian theologian who was excommunicated [1] by the early Christian church at Rome as a heretic. His teachings were influential during the 2nd century and a few centuries after, rivalling that of the Church of Rome. As he offered an alternative theology to the Canonical, Proto-orthodox, Trinitarian and Christological views of the Roman Church, the early Church Fathers denounced him sharply; their views dominate Christianity today.

Marcion is sometimes referred to as one of the gnostics, but from what assessment of his lost writings can be gleaned from his mainstream opponents, his teachings were quite different in nature. His canon included ten of the Pauline Epistles and one gospel[2] called the Gospel of Marcion, a rejection of the whole Hebrew Bible and of the rest of the books later incorporated into the canonical New Testament . He propounded a Christianity free from Jewish doctrines with Paul as the reliable source of authentic doctrine. Paul was, according to Marcion, the only apostle who had rightly understood the new message of salvation as delivered by Christ.[3]

Thanks Nick, blessing to see you weather the storm.

I don't have much in more in my notes about maricon, my studies sometimes lead me in other directions, attaining to compare certain sects, stemming from the ebionites I connected with Refutation i.e. original sin, redemption, trinity, incarnation, virgin birth, baptism, messiahship of jesus, new testament, demonology and transubstantiation, took me a different direction. It seems the subjects noted above are what most theologians discuss and how denomination are form, either agreeing with some and not with others also vise versa.

Apologies, for not being able to go any further in regards to the subject. Thank you though for bringing the thread to my attention greatly appreciate.
