Were the Marcionites the keepers of the original Christian faith?
(1) Was their faith represented by the original Pauline epistles?
If so, where did the author of the original Pauline epistles get his ideas from?
(2) Was the Gospel they used the first written text with an extended story about Jesus?
If so, would the author of the original Pauline epistles have agreed with it?
(3) Was the original belief that there was no messianic prophecy about Jesus?
If so, then was any material considered to be messianic prophecy used to write the first Gospel?
(4) Was the original belief that there was another higher, good God above the creator god of the law?
If so, then do you believe that this was explained clearly in Paul and in the Gospel? If not, why not?
(5) Was the original belief that Jesus came down out of heaven to Palestine?
If so, why would this be so offensive to every other Christian, so that they rejected it and suppressed the story?
