Whenever I confront someone about their messiah, they would ask "Then what is my sacrifice for sin? It doesn't matter how much I break it down for them that it is human worship. A mortal man could have never been an acceptable sacrifice for sin.

I will be doing an article on the teachings of Marcion. If you have any great articles out there? Please send it to me. It will save me three days of writing and research.
I know of someone who has an article. There stand point is that Marcion wrote the new testament. I think that Marcion was already dead when the church adopted his writings. Marcion could not have written the new testament because It contains writings from others.
I won't post until I can clarify that.
Please do a search on Marcion. We encourage spiritual independence. Please do your research and formulate your own opinions. The catholic encyclopedia speaks openly on this topic. They are on line so please read for yourself and make a portfolio on This topic.
