Quote:Well that's a completely moot point
No. It is exactly the point. Just because you refuse to face it does not make it moot. For all anyone knows Marcion - or some scribe working for Marcion - wrote those letters which were then edited later by proto-orthodox scribes to make them conform to the doctrine that the proto-orthodox were pushing at the time.
Without the original - or at least Marcionite versions - you have no idea what the originals said.
Some proto-orthodox clown created a story and you have fallen for it hook, line and sinker.
