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.

Something occurred to me while reading Jesus Interrupted:

'Jesus' might be a composite character. 

Various religious types seemed, then as now, to spring up all the time.  As their followers fanned out with their tales of God and dogma, do we really know the ones later believed to have been preaching Jesus take on things were all inspired by the same dude ?
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
