That's enough to answer my question. I am not looking to argue the point. I was offering references if you were unfamiliar with them. You can investigate it further yourself."(2) Assume Good Faith."Genuine question or an invitation to argument?How are those anti-Marcionite?"Are said to have" - citation? That's very weak to me because 1Tim says drink for infirmities:Marcionites are said to have forbade alcohol.and otherwise repeatedly emphasises sobriety: 1Tim 3:2, 1Tim 3:11, Titus 1:8, Titus 2:2, Titus 2:4, Titus 2:6. I see nothing particularly anti-Marcion; if anything parts remind me of the Didache.Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach’s sake and thine often infirmities. (I Timothy 5:23 [KJV])
What I do see is the invoking of Jesus' name all through 1Tim and 2Tim and Titus, something the Faulines practically never do, so they are un-Fauline to me. I don't however see much citation of, or teaching ftom, the synoptics, unlike for example the Gospels of Thomas or Philip, so I don't see them as teaching what Christ taught
