Um. That's Marcionism. He was denounced as a heretic by the other True Christians of his day.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcionism
Quote:Marcion believed Jesus Christ was the savior sent by God and Paul of Tarsus was his chief apostle, but he rejected the Hebrew Bible and Yahweh. Marcionists believed that the wrathful Hebrew God was a separate and lower entity than the all-forgiving God of the New Testament.
But fear not, they stopped burning heretics at the stake a little while ago in historical terms.
I guess many christians, then, are Marcionists, although i never heard of that term before.
