Marcos
The word "marcion" refers to Marcin, a 2nd-century Christian theologian who is most famous for his interpretation of Christianity, known as Marcionism. He believed that the God of the Old Testament was a different deity from the God of the New Testament and that the Old Testament was flawed and sinful.
Marcionism was a early Christian heresy that emerged in the 2nd century AD. It was founded by Marcion of Sinope, a wealthy shipowner who rejected the God of the Old Testament as cruel and created instead a dualistic theology that separated the God of love and justice from the God of the Old Testament, whom he saw as malevolent. Marcion believed that the true God, the God of love, was a distant, unknowable deity who sent Jesus Christ to save humanity from the wrath of the Old Testament God.
