Apparently, they hated the man, but loved the sin....at that point.
Calling this a "theory" is ridiculous. It's a known known.
No no I mean the heresy part. Is it a theory that there originally never was any heresy by Marcion, but that was invented later by the church? I'm just trying to understand what exactly the argument is.

Ask yourself why it is that Justin Martyr knows of Marcion but not anyone named "paul?"
It is interesting. But then how, under this insinuation, are the Pauline epistles unaware of gospels? The lack of gospel references in Pauline writings is highly indicative of pre-dating the gospels. But we know that Marcion knew at least some of the gospels.
