His belief that god was not a man, and not the messiah of the ot rippled down though alot of other things. He didn't believe in a virgin birth, or any birth. He didn't believe that christ was "the seed of david", he didn't believe that christ preached in a synagogue, he didn't believe in the temptation narrative, he didn't believe that only christians had been saved or any comments to that effect, he was perfectly content to posit that those who -rejected- god were saved, he didn't believe that salvation depended on any death on the cross or that christ died on the cross or that christ was resurrected after dying on the cross, he didn't believe that anyone else would be resurrected, and he did not believe in sin.......
He didn't believe there was any "life" of jesus, he didn't believe that jesus was a man at all. The historical jesus, is a man around whom the myths were hypothetically accrued. Marcions christ was explicitly mythical.
