As to your question..yes, actually, Marcion did include things in his canon that he didn't believe. Moot point, since this isn't one of them.
And what basis do have of saying that he didn't believe the things he included in his Gospel? Judging that he removed portions that he didn't believe in. And please tell us which portions of his own Gospel did Marcion not believe? Did he not believe that Jesus was brought in front of pilate, and was crucified, as his gospel indicates?
Historical means, of our concerning history. The life of Jesus for Marcion took place in 1st century Jerusalem, not in some supernatural realm. He lived in a historical setting, lived among historical people, went around preaching about the kingdom of God, was brought in front of Pilate and crucified.
You're equivocating between a historical Jesus, and a Jesus who for Marcion wasn't made of literal flesh, that this was just a illusion. Which isn't really a historical question at all.
So quit with the dishonest nonsense, troll.
