Marcion letters got covered up - by Origen and Tertullian? Irenaeus attacked Marcion using a strawman argument (see below)....Circumcision was a hot topic in the 2nd century for Justin Martyr - so the letters focus on circumcision fit nicely in the 2nd century... Justin Martyr insisted the Jews "deserved" what happened to them (the Temple destroyed in 70 AD)...
Tertullian said Marcion found Galatians! An obvious "mark" of a "cover" that Galatians were from a 2nd author - not Paul...
Timothy is NOT mentioned by Marcion's letters of Paul....? Just mentions Titus, not Timothy....
Marcion's letters are shorter for Romans....even though the "party line" was that Marcion deleted - and this is what Origen claimed.
We know that the Gospel of Mark and John had writings added to harmonize with other New Testament writings... so the same was true for Romans... so Marcion was shorter and earlier.
Irenaeus - the line about Peter is NOT in the Marcion version - so Irenaeus relies on an added writing to Galatian to then dismiss Marcion.... (not playing fairly).
Fascinating!!
The canonical letters are stylistically uniform and thus placed letter.... and are not written in "every day" language....
Dr. Nina Livesey on Pseudonymous Paul as literary fakes....
from Saul to Paul by Marcion is the same as from Abram to Abraham for Judaism.
