| | Marcion of Sinope - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | What made Marcion distinct from the many who sought to recover the authentic Jesus, was that he believed that the universe was created by an evil god, a Demiurge. | | | Marcion's attempt to recover the authentic Jesus has been a constant theme of Christian reformers, reappearing in different guises, for example in the Jefferson Bible, Albert Schweitzer, and the Jesus Seminar. | | | Hippolytus says he was the son of a bishop who excommunicated him on grounds of immorality, a story that is difficult to believe given other statements that he was a very moral man and the strong tendency to accuse heretics of immorality. |

| | Marcion of Sinope |
| | Marcion's primary thesis was that Jesus had come to reveal to the world a supreme God who was previously unknown to the world; a God who was vastly different from the Creator God of the Old Testament writings. | | | The God of the OT was characterized by Marcion as a "demiurgus" -- i.e., a lesser, secondary deity, who was a god, in a sense, but not the supreme God of the universe. | | | Marcion immediately began his quest to organize a body of believers that would rival the church in Rome, and was so successful in doing so that he, his followers, and his teaching came to be feared as the most dangerous foe the church faced in the second century. |

| | Marcion |
| | Marcion preached the Gospel to all, while the Gnostics gloried in their elite status by carefully guarding the deepest of their inspired secrets. | | | In their effort to rebut Marcion's recognition of an independent kingdom of evil, the Gnostics preferred to describe the evil world as an accident or as a disturbance caused by a lack of knowledge. | | | "
[O]nly after Marcion did those in the great church begin the purposeful work of deriving from heaven the holy church,
and of combining the congregations here on earth into an actual community and unity on the basis of a fixed doctrine that is rooted in the New Testament, just as Marcion did. |

| | The Development of the Canon of the New Testament - Marcion |
| | The main points of Marcion's teaching were the rejection of the Old Testament and a distinction between the Supreme God of goodness and an inferior God of justice, who was the Creator and God of the Jews. | | | Marcion, the son of the bishop of Sinope (a sea-port of Pontus along the Black Sea) who had become a wealthy ship-owner, stood before the presbyters to expound his teachings in order to win others to his point of view. | | | Marcion was convinced that among the early apostolic leaders only Paul understood the significance of Jesus Christ as the messenger of the Supreme God. |

| | Robert Rainy on Marcion |
| | Among the Marcionites this was known probably, not as the Gospel according to Luke, hut rather as the ‘‘Gospel of the Lord," or the like and the later Marcionites believed it to have been written by Christ himself. | | | Marcion, as has been said, recognised the Old Testament as a truthful book. | | | Marcion addresses his followers as "companions in distress and in reproach." |

| | Marcion taught that the god of the Old Testament was not the true God but rather that the true and higher God had been revealed only with Jesus Christ. | | | Marcion's canon consisted of the Euangelion, or the Gospel of the Lord, and the Apostolikon, ten epistles of Paul, not including the pastorals. | | | The Foreign God and the Sudden Christ: Theology and Christology in Marcion's Gospel Redaction |

| | Gnosticism [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] |
| | Marcion believed that this cosmos in which we live bears witness to the existence of an inflexible, legalistic, and sometimes spiteful and vengeful God. | | | According to Marcion, the god who controls this realm is a being who is intent on preserving his autonomy and power even at the expense of the (human) beings whom he created. | | | Quite the contrary, Marcion believed that he knew the God of this realm all too well, and that He was not worthy of the devotion and obedience that He demanded. |

AH, 1.27.1, AF, 352. | | | According to Brooke Westcott, Marcion's Canon is "the first of which there is any record."18 Marcion's Canon demonstrated a two-fold division: The Gospel and The Apostle.19 The Gospel was an highly edited version of Luke and The Apostle was composed of ten Pauline Epistles. |

| | Marcion's rejection of O.T. prophecy did not involve a denial that the prophets had foretold the coming of a Christ; but the Christ of the prophets could not be our Christ. | | | Marcion's theory was that the visible creation was the work of the just God; the good God, whose abode he places in the third or highest heaven and whom apparently he acknowledged as the creator of a high immaterial universe, neither concerned Himself with | | | Marcion is said by Esnig to have taught that there were three heavens: in the highest dwelt the good God, |

| | Center for Marcionite Research |
| | According to Marcion, Jesus Christ unveiled a new God, which was not the same deity of the Hebrew scriptures. | | | Nor was Jesus, according to Marcion, the Messiah prophesied by the prophets of old - the Messiah to Israel, who was to be a warrior, was still yet to come, to fulfil the national expectations and promises of that nation. | | | For further information on Marcion one may read the various articles and texts available at The Center for Marcionite Research Library, which also includes a full version of the lost Gospel of Marcion (now hyperlinked to two of the ancient sources used for its reconstruction, Tertullian's Adversus Marcionem and Epiphanius' Panarion).Thank you for visiting! |

| | Marcion |
| | Marcionites Followers of Marcion, a reformer of Christianity of the 2nd century who, failing to bend the Church to his views, founded a society of his own in Rome, whence it spread to Asia Minor, gaining great influence and for a time seriously competing with the established Church. | | | But the spirit of a declining age prevailed in favor of the Church; the influence of Marcion can be traced for a few centuries, but his association finally lost its identity amid divergences and absorptions into other systems, especially Manichaeism. | | | Their teachings in many respects were those of the ancient wisdom, derived from contact with the still extant sources in Egypt, India, Persia, and elsewhere. |

| | And so, everyone for 1800 years has called Marcion a Heretic- everyone that is that has lived in places not on the Bible Lands map!... | | | Seems that Sinope had it's hay day at the time when all things went to Athens rather than Rome. | | | My guess is he never even went there and his kissing the ass of the Roman Catholic Church is so much wishful thinking and propaganda of the likes of Tertullian, who probably wasn't even born yet when Marcion was on the scene. |
