>>18712028You can't even call him a gnostic because gnosticism is related to "secret spiritual knowledge" that's been passed down. The word literally means knowledge or insight, this is why.
Marcion didn't pull anything out of his ass like those conmen, his Bible (again, the FIRST Bible) was a subset of the gospel that's part of the Bible today. You don't have to agree with him but he's on another level from any gnostic of his time.
It's even theorized that he's responsible for the gospel of Mark and Luke, that they were derived from his editions of the gospel. Have some respect.
